Hey Wellness Warrior!
Nursing and health care is flexible. We can choose many different ways to do with that craft, and exercise those giftings. Maybe your story is like mine and you laid down nursing to be a stay at home mom, but still want to be in health and wellness in some way. Maybe you are burnt out on full time nursing and desire to go part time or per diem and use your gifting and callin

Hey Wellness Warrior!
Let’s talk today about something I know hits home for so many of us nurses, healthcare pros, caregivers...

174 / THIS is Keeping You Stuck in Burnout!
Welcome Intentional Wellness Warrior!
Today, I want to speak to my nurse and healthcare mama friends—and really any caregiving mom—who’s said something like:
“I don’t think I’m burnt out from work… It’s probably just homeschool burnout.” Or, “No, I love my job. Getting out of the house actually helps!”
If that’s been you, I want to say two things up front:

172 / Nurse Mom, Are You Priming Your Brain For Stress & Anxiety? When & How You Most Likely Are.
Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior!
I thought about this word and action we do often in nursing…priming. We prime tubing with saline to prepare it for the solution we intend to get to the patient. You are making something ready for use by priming it.
Let's relate this to our minds. Yes, we have stressful jobs in healthcare, but are we unintentionally priming your mind for stress and anxiety? Are

170 / Breathe & Be Still: Truth Your Helper's Heart Needs to Hear
Hey Nurse Mom, Caregiver friend,
You care for everyone so well, but do not have the time, energy or belief left to care for yourself. I believe if we truly found ourselves worthy of the crown, found our worth as a daughter of the King and lived in that truth, we wouldn't find ourselves in Stressedout-ville or Burnout Bay. I think it all comes back to worth. self-worth.

It was very normal for me to deal with gut issues for - my whole life really- and take my

Ch cha changes.... I actually don't like when things change, but I've learned to appreciate the growth. If I'm abiding with Jesus, then when things change (not all) it's for my growth of more fruit. I have been in quite the pruning season and one thing that's been affected is this podcast.
