I thought I’d say Hi 👋 I'm Jess, mum to 2 kids, lover of the outdoors. Passionate about mental health & wellbeing. I've had a somewhat 'squiggly' career- Paediatrician turned primary teacher. Now educator, advocate, keynote speaker. I've not been here for a while so please stop and say hi!

I shared my TEDx talk to my 22k followers on X and got 2 likes. Yes 2 😢 Social media algorithms can make you feel strangely lonely. I thought I'd see what it's like here instead. The link's in my bio or below. Join me for 6 mins as I talk about reconnecting with my inner child.

I'm a doctor. I also happen to have experienced mental illness. For too long, I carried this secret with shame, Silenced by stigma. Today is #CrazySocs4Docs Day. A day to remember those we have lost & start conversations about mental health in healthcare. Show me your socks!

Thanks. It's sometimes easy for us to forget that not everyone is travelling the same journey or has the same privilege as us. My age & experience have given me some of those insights but listening and learning from others on social media has formed a huge part of understanding this better.

Jess Morgan @jessmorgan.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

So to that female doctor I used to work with, I am sorry. Like so many others, I judged you. I didn't even try to understand. You are so much more dedicated than me, You have a strength I didn't know existed. I am sorry I didn't see that before. I am that woman now. 3/3

Older than her peers, The one who works part-time to support her family, who can't stay late because her kids depend on her. The woman one whose career did not go to plan and... Well, I understand it now. Because I am that woman. 2/3

Jess Morgan @jessmorgan.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

She was in her 40s. A resident doctor. Older than all her peers, she was different. She was the one who left on time and didn't bend over backwards to do more. Eyes rolled. People tutted. She wasn't committed. She lacked dedication. Then I became that woman. 🧵👇1/3

When we're caught up in the daily grind of work, It's easy to overlook the tiny yet beautiful things. How had I not noticed this appear in my garden? #wellbeing #mentalhealth #selfcare

It's too easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life. I needed a reminder today to just slow down and take a breath.

I did this last year and loved it! For some reason I needed permission to be creative and embrace my passion for writing and this course did exactly that!

Jess Morgan @jessmorgan.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

I set out to be a clinical doctor forever. Then life happened. I left medicine and, with that, felt completely lost. I have now found my way again, Navigating a path less trodden, But no less fulfilling. Careers are not linear.

Career paths, what people think (a straight arrow), what they actually are like (an arrow with a big loopy squiggle in the middle

I never go out, But on Fri, I met 3 choir friends and had the best time seeing Hamilton. Absolutely next level! Who else has seen it?

Today was my last day at RCPCH. The end of another chapter in my very 'alternative' medical career. There's more than one way to be a doctor, You just have to be willing to take a risk or two.

Jess Morgan @jessmorgan.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Thanks Nick. I've definitely benefited from taking a step back and hearing the impact that the work has had. I don't think the conversation will go away now!

Jess Morgan @jessmorgan.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Not the conference. It's a Thrive Paediatrics event for the South East Scotland network. Should be a good day- expert speakers, workshop session, story sharing and self-care. Hoping it will be restorative as well as educational!

On my way up to Edinburgh for my last RCPCH Thrive Paediatrics event. 2 years of empowering, educating and supporting paediatricians to improve their wellbeing and working lives. Who'd have thought I'd be doing this, But here I am! The next chapter approaches...

I was a junior trainee. He was my senior. Inappropriate sexual comments, propositions, looks... I didn't know what to do and feared the consequences of telling someone... So I did nothing. We must prioritise creating sexually safe environments.

Exactly 2 years ago, I found the courage to join a choir. I've made friends, Reconnected with a hobby I loved as a child, And embraced my love of musicals. Today we started an 11 minute Wicked medley. Amazing! 🎵
