Show Notes

Introducing Wellness Wednesdays! In addition to our Monday episodes, every Wednesday we will be talking about some aspect of mental, emotional, and physical health, especially for us nurses. We are notorious for sacrificing ourselves and our health for others, so I am hoping these conversations can shift our perspective and bring the focus back to self-care.

On our first episode, I discuss my own health journey and the current state of my health (SPOILER: I am still working on my shit). This was a challenging episode to record, and honestly felt pretty uncomfortable, but I want you guys to know who is speaking behind the mic. I do not have this all figured out and I am certainly not the "perfect example" of health. Far from it. But I want you to know that you are not alone in this journey, and I want to normalize these types of HARD conversations.
