Female physicians carry extraordinary responsibilities—long hours, constant emotional demands, and relentless mental load. This interactive workshop invites you to pause, reflect, and reclaim your energy. Together, we’ll explore how your personal traits, daily routines, and the spaces you inhabit influence stress, focus, and resilience. Drawing on evidence-based design and psychology principles, you’ll learn practical ways to identify pain points so you can transform your home and clinical environments into supportive, restorative spaces. Walk away with clear, actionable strategies to boost balance, sustain energy, and cultivate wellbeing that lasts.
