Our world’s helpers — educators, nurses, hospitality workers, nonprofit leaders, and more — are facing major burnout.
Busyness is a badge of honor. Employees report feeling overwhelmed and undervalued. Many limit phrases like self-care or work-life balance to mean bubble baths and face masks. Not accessible, realistic ways for us to live healthier, happier lives.
I’m a former theatre professional and educational administrator, and I’ve faced and seen these challenges. Those of us who step up and serve our communities struggle with putting our well-being first. Sometimes, we don’t know where to begin. My curiosity to figure this out led me to study self-care and renewal for helping professionals at the doctoral level.
Enter Dr. MC’s Self-Care Cabaret! I bring my scholarship, industry experience, and some theatre *pizzazz* to professional development presentations for audiences of all kinds nationwide. My goal? To leave YOU feeling supported, heard, understood, and empowered with self-care skills.
Don’t wait in the wings. Join our community on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. And get ready to find your spotlight.

Back in the day, cabarets were hotspots for entertainment and tight-knit community. They were also spaces of rebellion. (*insert dramatic music*)
It sums up what we’re creating here at Dr. MC’s Self-Care Cabaret. At the Cabaret, prioritizing self-care and well-being isn’t luxurious or selfish; it’s fun (mostly), engaging, and community-driven. Self-care is an act of rebellion to push back against an oppressive culture: foundational, proactive, and protective towards all realms of our lives.
