Many of us grew up watching princess movies. The titles are different, but a lot of the messaging is the same…a man will come and save you. Your very own hero. He will sweep you off your feet and get you out of this sad life you are living.
As we grow up, no one comes to save us.
We start our careers in EMS. This job is hard. It can takes a toll on us. Mentally, Physically, and Emotionally. We are surrounded by heros, yet no one is saving us.
Our employer, co-workers, significant other, friends, and families cannot save us.
Only YOU can save yourself. This is harsh. I know. But it’s true.
Only you know what’s best for you.
Only you can take the actions necessary for change. No one can do that for you.
Stop looking for a hero, and listen to your inner heroine. She knows what is best.
BTW, I’m not saying this is easy. It’s hard AF.
My life completely changed when I decided to stop being the victim of my own story. I had to save myself.
You are allowed to change from victim to heroine.
You can do this.
If you are a Women in EMS, we’d love for you to join our private “All EMS Women” FB group!
Inside the group, we are there to support you and cheer you on as you make changes in your life.
