About this listen

 Have you ever hit that point where you’re ready to throw in the towel on nursing altogether? Trust me—I’ve been there too. But what if the problem isn’t nursing itself, but the self-sacrificing mindset we’ve been taught to carry?

In this episode of the You Glow Nurse Podcast, I’m catching you up on life—married life, new routines, more responsibilities, and the exciting revamp of my business (hello Summer Self-Care Challenge!)—and then diving deep into today’s conversation:

💡 How to quit the “woe is me” mindset that drains us and instead start showing up confidently.
💡 Why it’s important to evaluate what’s really going on at work—are the struggles about the job itself, or boundaries, coworkers, or management issues?
💡 Practical ways to bloom where you are planted by focusing on what’s within your control, asking for what you need, and building resilience.

I share a personal story about stepping into a new charge nurse role where everything felt like it was falling apart—and how I had to shift from frustration to empowerment. Along the way, I learned that challenges build endurance, teach problem-solving, and ultimately help us grow.

🌸 The truth is, not every tough season means it’s time to quit. Yes, we should always walk away from toxic or unsafe environments, but there are also moments when God calls us to rise to the occasion, strengthen our boundaries, and flourish right where we are.

You’ll walk away from this episode reminded that:
✅ You are in charge of your effort, your attitude, and how you take care of yourself.
✅ Prioritizing self-care—rest, joy, movement, and quality time—fills your cup so you can show up more confidently.
✅ When you believe in yourself and trust God with the rest, you’ll bloom exactly where you’re planted.

This episode is all about breaking free from burnout, showing up empowered, and redefining what it means to thrive as a nurse and high achiever.
