She Was Healing Others While Destroying Herself | Madison Brecka

About this video

A short clip in which Madison Brecka, Gary Brecka’s daughter, describes burning herself out while working in health care for others. She says she was advising patients on sleep, supplements and self-care while working extremely long days herself, unable to say no, until she hit a breaking point. She describes developing extreme fatigue, joint pain and episodes she identifies as POTS, including fainting during meetings at home, and reflects on how hard it felt to step back when patients in impressive homes were depending on her.
