Preview #1 - Balancing day-to-day challenges with Rebecca McKinley, Food Services Assistant

Rebecca McKinley:

I think for myself, I've I try and focus on my priorities in life. Work's important and I enjoy my job, but my overall priorities and the things that come first is my family and my children. If I'm not meeting their needs then I'm gonna feel less than anything because they're the most important priority in my life. For me to meet their needs, I need to have something to give. So if it means taking time out, going for a walk, having a two hour conversation with a friend to vent, to get your your mind clear, having that conversation with your partner to get your mind clear, going to bed early, having a bath, having having a shower, and just disconnecting from everybody occasionally, then it it has to be done.

Rebecca McKinley:
