Misguided ideas surface in healthcare settings all the time.

With warmth and loving amusement, we reflect on how these initiatives—often wrapped in corporate optimism—miss the mark. yet don't have to steal our peace.

Brilliantly bad ideas aren't about you and tehy don't have to steal your peace.

They're structural, impersonal, and often just disconnected from the day-to-day reality of clinical life.

We invite you to laugh with us, reflect, and most importantly, not to take them personally.

Pearls of Wisdom:

• Bad ideas often come with good intentions—they're usually more about systemic gaps than personal disrespect. • You get to choose how much energy to bring to these initiatives—humor and grace are powerful tools. • "Wellness" programs often miss the mark because they don't reflect the lived reality of those they're meant to support. • Expecting and accepting mismatched ideas can bring lightness—and maybe even loving amusement.

Reflection Questions:

• What is your favorite "brilliantly bad idea?"

• How might you use humor to help you when the next one comes your way?

Please send us the brilliantly bad ideas you have witnessed. We would love to hear them!

If you're navigating burnout, frustration, or the absurdities of healthcare, we offer coaching, retreats, and workshops to help you find clarity, compassion, and joy again.

Jessie offers 1:1 coaching and mindful retreats designed to bring back peace, purpose, and presence in your work and life.
