Here is a lesson in living from my death and dying professor, who is now living the lesson she taught for decades. Thank you, Dr. Sarah Brabant.

“We all hope that our patients will finish with us and forget us, and that they will find living itself to be the therapy that makes sense” —Donald Winnicott

Anyways, it’s Wear It Purple day, so if you can, support young people in the LGBTIQA+ because *gestures at fkn everything*

The Vic Government says it won’t follow NSW in ending the WFH era and forcing public servants back into the office five days a week. Instead, the Gov says: “Any public servants from New South Wales who like flexibility in their workplace should consider moving to Victoria.”

Simone Biles taught a valuable lesson at the Olympics: Overcoming adversity takes time. Resilience is not about how quickly you bounce back—it’s about how fully you recover. You can’t judge people’s strength when they fall. Their fortitude is visible when they rise again.

Hey managers: to keep your people, let them work from home 2 days a week. Landmark experiment (1600+ ppl, 2yrs): random assignment to hybrid work -Increased satisfaction -Reduced quitting by 33% (especially for women & long commuters) -No costs for performance or promotion rates

My column today for @MensHealthAU on why an urgent rethink is needed of our response to #ViolenceAgainstWomen, focused on the factors we see time & time again in male perpetrators. This is not finding an excuse for men's behaviour, it's finding a solution. menshealth.com.au/dr-zac-seidler…

Research by the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) in 2017 found it takes a victim-survivor, on average, $18,000 & 141 hours to extricate themselves from a violent relationship. 7 years later, that cost is no doubt much higher.

The best antidote to burnout is not teaching people coping skills to handle stress. It's redesigning work to reduce stress. The cure for exhaustion is removing overwhelming demands and the norm of self-sacrifice. Healthy workplaces value well-being as much as performance.
