Dear Diary: We are TIRED & UNHINGED

About this episode

Mel and Al discuss the challenges and exhaustion of their lifestyle in a candid and chaotic conversation.

In episode 85 of The Physio Diaries podcast, Mel & Al are back in their break room talks era. Chaotic, tired, and unfiltered. From missing alarms before a full patient day to questioning if travel PT is still worth it, they get real about the exhaustion, constant moving, and what this lifestyle actually feels like behind the scenes. They also get into their “icks of the month” such as red eye flights, 40-hour work weeks, and healthcare professionals tearing each other down online. The kind of conversations that feel like decompressing with your best friend after a long shift. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or lowkey questioning everything, this one will hit. ⁠ Sign up for our Newsletter! ⁠ ⁠ Ask us questions ⁠ ⁠ Find travel jobs ⁠ ⁠⁠ The Physio Diaries IG ⁠⁠
