003: The Power of Self Love and Self Prioritization with Anna Bain

With today’s fast-paced lifestyle, consistently striving hard has become the norm. A lot of the time we are too hard on ourselves because we are driven by the desire to excel at everything we do.  In this episode, Anna Bain shares her insights on the importance of self-love, self-care and how we can cultivate this in order to become the best version of ourselves and to avoid the accepted norm of pushing ourselves to the limit. Self-love often comes with the connotation of being selfish. But if self-love means taking action to fill your cup so that you can better serve others, is that really selfish?  TOPICS WE DISCUSSED INCLUDE: Non-negotiable self-care tips (4:30) “Better messy hair than a messy mind” (6:53) What does it mean to have “Indulgent Self-Care?” (09:47) Vitamin L: The fundamental nutrient of living an energetic life (10:50) Have a clear vision of your best self (16:00) The importance of a “Recharge Alarm” (19:58) Tips for unlocking energy and developing healthy habits (22.27) The definition of self-care and extreme self-love (26:10) Questions to ask yourself to gauge your current level of self-love (29:56) The importance of journaling (31:48) ABOUT ANNA BAIN An Integrative Health Coach and a workplace well-being consultant, Anna Bain empowers business leaders by sharing the message of health and wellness.

About the Podcast

The Happy Nurse
Winner — APAC Insider Australian Enterprise Awards 2024 | Most Empowering Self Care Provider for Nurses. Burnout, compassion fatigue, and stress are rising in healthcare. This podcast exists to change that — one practical, honest conversation at a time.
Nurses are the backbone of the health system — always there to care for a stranger as if they were one of their own, forsaking precious moments with their own families to ensure others' loved ones are in good hands.
Compassion fatigue, stress, and burnout are rising across healthcare. Self care has never been more important — or more overlooked.
Elaina Mullery McDonald RN has 25 years of clinical nursing experience, a Postgraduate Certificate in Psychology, and a Master of Business Psychology in progress. She is a certified NLP Practitioner, hypnotherapist, and mindfulness practitioner — and the founder and host of The Happy Nurse podcast. Having experienced burnout firsthand, she is passionate about equipping nurses with practical, evidence-informed strategies to protect their wellbeing and sustain the career they worked so hard for.

Elaina Mullery


Elaina Mullery RN has spent 25 years working across some of nursing's most demanding clinical environments — orthopaedic trauma, operating theatre, endoscopy, recovery, and day surgery. She knows firsthand what it feels like to run on empty, and it's that lived experience of burnout that drives everything she does.
Elaina holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Psychology and is completing a Master of Business Psychology at Edith Cowan University. She is a certified NLP Practitioner, hypnotherapist, and mindfulness practitioner, and has developed the 3R Framework — an original evidence-based methodology for building sustainable human performance at individual, team, and organisational level.
Through The Happy Nurse podcast, her online courses, and her white paper No Margin for Error, Elaina is on a mission to change the way healthcare treats its most valuable resource — the people who show up every day to care for others.
