Women Empowerment

This week I did a guest blog post on one of my favorite blogs www.flancake.co by Flannery Lyle. I am honored to be a part of the series among some amazing girl bosses. The older I get the more I realize how important it is for women to be nice and support each other. Such a simple idea but for some reason women, as with many things, we make it complicated. If you have ever been to Johnson Dermatology you know we are a large group of powerful women. We all have different backgrounds and lots of different personalities. We make it work because we are positive and support each other. We are happy in our job working with all these women because we are lead by a girl boss who encourages us and supports us to be women that lead. To lead in the workplace, lead in our community, lead our lives in a way that makes us better humans. People often say “I bet it’s hard working with all those women all day” but it’s quite the opposite. I enjoy getting to know all of their strengths and weaknesses and seeing how they flourish in different ways. I am lucky that they support me and encourage me to be a better health care provider instead of competing with me. One of my greatest blessings has been being able to be a working Mom and still breastfeed my babies. When I get behind at work or feel too busy to pump (express breastmilk) my bosses, my nurses, my front staff, all of them make it possible for me to pump anyway. They pick up the slack for me, they make me feel like they want me to go pump, they never make me feel like my pump breaks are a nuissance or a pain in their workflow even though I know it probably is. That’s women empowerment to me; lifting each other up. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all the women I work with for empowering me and helping me flourish as a working woman. Thank You Dr. Brad for being an excellent role model to other male bosses out there on how to let business women flourish without feeling like we are the minority gender in the work force. Without further a do, please this Sunday head over to www.flancake.co and read my interview and then follow along on the women empowerment series, it’s some powerful reading and some great advice!

Endless power, with our love we can devour
You’ll do anything for me……..Who runs the world? Girls!” -Beyonce

Hope to see you this week at Johnson Dermatology, where we encourage girls to run the world, Nina
