Why Boundaries Matter: Burnout Recovery for Women in Healthcare

I used to believe boundaries were for people who had unusually pleasant circumstances.

The ones with quiet jobs and flexible hours.

Not the ones like me—with 12-hour shifts, clinicals, a side hustle, and a body running on cortisol and willpower.

Because when everyone is telling you you're killing it, it's easy to ignore the truth: You're actually burning out.

BTW, if you're ready to stop living in survival mode and start building a life that actually feels good my WEEKLY BLISS PLANNER is such a helpful, simple place to start!

Back when I was working full-time in the ICU, finishing NP school, and juggling clinicals, I had nothing left in the tank.

I told myself I didn’t need boundaries—I just needed to push through.

But my body told a different story: anxiety, racing heart, insomnia.

Eventually, I realized this truth: If I didn’t learn how to protect my energy and honor my bandwidth, the system would take everything—until there was nothing left of me.

So I made the boldest move I could at the time.

I cut back to part-time.

I brought yoga and nervous system regulation back into my life.

I stopped trying to prove I could “do it all.”

And I started asking what I needed—not just what everyone else expected of me.

In my $27 course [Time Design], we go deeper into this exact process. You’ll learn how to shift from time scarcity to time sovereignty—even with a nurse schedule. I walk you through how to map your values onto your calendar, say no without guilt, and finally create a week that supports your health—not just your hustle. Buy back your time NOW! 

Now I coach brilliant but burnt-out women in healthcare who are done waiting for permission to live differently.

You don’t have to leave healthcare to love your life again.

But you do have to stop giving away every last drop of yourself.

“There’s no limit to what the healthcare system will take from you… unless you draw one.” 

 Reading this is one thing, living it is another.
