The Ashley O Show: Nursing Beyond the Bedside
The Ashley O Show is a space where nurses and caregivers come together to understand that their identity extends beyond the humans that they care for. Where the hardest workers in the room can have honest and authentic conversations about what is holding them back and the changes needed to move forward. I am here to help you fit nutrition, fitness, and self-care into a life built around 12 hour shifts. It doesn’t have to be complicated, it’s definitely going to be scary, and it’s also going to be more beautiful than you ever imagined.
So it’s time we commit to putting ourselves first, chasing uncertainty, and building stronger lives, careers, bodies, and minds then we thought was possible. So grab a hot cup of tea, settle in, and let's change our lives.

285. Stop comparing yourself to who you used to be: How to be a beginner again
There’s a pretty popular quote out there that says - “the only person you should be comparing yourself to is who you were before." Today I'm offering a heartfelt rebuttal to this quote. Too many of us spend our energy thinking about who we used to be, what we used to do, how we exercised in the past, or what we used to weigh...and it's holding us back MORE than anything else.
I want to talk about the real strength and growth that only comes when we can be humble enough to be a beginner again and again. It's HARD to start again knowing where you have been in the past, but we cannot let that hold us back. It's time to shed the weight of our former selves in order to step in a new chapter.
