Eisdiele after burnout: Monika Münchberg's new beginning in Wismar

Wismar, Deutschland - A fresh wind blows through Wismar: Monika Münchberg, 52 years old, has fulfilled her dream after more than 20 years in the nursing profession and opened an ice cream parlor in Wendorf. The step into self -employment came after a time of exhaustion and health problems, which they accompanied to their burnout. "It was high time for a fresh start," she says full of enthusiasm while presenting her ice creations. Her husband Thomas, who works in the sales of ice cream manufacturing products, actively supports them. The ice cream parlor bears the name "Monis Eisraum" and finally opened its doors in March.

Monika's decision was not only due to her former job, but of general dissatisfaction with the conditions in nursing. More and more nurses are complaining about pressure, lack of staff and the constant danger of a burnout. According to an analysis of the AOK federal association, nurses in Germany are affected by burnout almost twice as often as other professional groups. Mental illnesses have been increasing for years, which leads to an alarming situation, especially in a profession that is associated with high demands and stress anyway. Employers are asked to create better framework conditions for a healthy work environment in order to reduce the stress and strengthen the motivation of the employees.

edging of the family and innovation

Monika lives with her family in Wismar after she originally comes from Bremen. Her husband Thomas and the children are firmly integrated into the newly founded family company. While Thomas is working on the sale, the children take care of the creative implementation of the ice cream parlor. Daughter Sandra, who had to give up her dream job as a vehicle painter due to health problems, is now passionate about the production of new ice recipes. Instead of finished ice creams, delicacies, including five vegan varieties and creative delicacies, come to the counter in the ice cream parlor for dog owners, such as a delicacy from veal liverwurst and lean curd.

In the ice cream parlor, customers can choose from a total of twelve varieties, including popular tastes such as cookies, yogurt cherry and cream semolina with elderberry. Even if the opening fun with a special variety, the curve with roasted sesame and honey, did not quite hit the nerve of the Wismarer, Monika remains optimistic. "We listen to our customers," she says. This confirms the recurring practice that the well -being of the nursing staff, similar to that of company founders, is often in direct connection with the satisfaction of their customers.

regeneration trip

In the ice cream parlor, visitors are offered an inviting atmosphere. The opening times are also family -friendly: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., as well as on Saturdays and Sundays from 12 p.m. And even if Wednesday is a day of rest, Monika is certain: "Here everyone comes to rest with an ice cream."

The decision of Monika Münchberg to take this new beginning is an impressive example of how important it is to pay attention to your own health and to follow your passion. More and more people, especially in the nursing profession, should consider recognizing their limits and taking the necessary time for regeneration. This not only increases the quality of life, but also the field of work is more attractive in the long term, such as [aerzteblatt.de] (https://www.aerzteblatt.de/news/burnout-Bflegerspers- Fast-so-haeuftig-95756f3-40f0-bfad-96c2bd5e5e5e5e537d) shows.
