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.

286. Giving Nurses permission to GRIEVE with Shelby Forsythia
Shelby Forsythia is a grief guide, author, and podcast host, and today she joins us to share a brand new perspective on GRIEF. Shelby helps us welcome grief as a teacher and explains how we can create meaningful lives that honor and include the heartbreaks they’ve faced.
We discuss how healthcare workers can help support patients who are facing turmoil, how we can process the grief we experience every day as nurses, and the relationship between grieving and burnout. Grief is not a topic that most of us feel comfortable talking about, but that's Shelby's magic - she makes it feel safe.
Grab a pen and paper (you're going to want to take all of the notes!), and SHARE this episode with someone who needs to hear it!
