Client Spotlight: Linda W

I've always wanted to be the best nurse I could be.

I wanted to be the one with the answers, the one you could count on, even the one you could call ANYTIME of the day or night!

What I didn't know, was who I would become...

We all go into nursing for one reason or another, but most come down to wanting to help people.

Why don't we help ourselves?!

About a year ago I found Brittany's Facebook group. I figured this would just be another group that I would join, some stuff would pop up on my feed, I would scroll by at night before I went to bed and would call it a day.

Well, that's the complete opposite of what happened.

Initially, I had every excuse in the world why couldn't do any of it...I worked 80 hours a week, I was on call 24/7, I was tired, if I was not at work I had a 1000 things to catch up on.

The funny thing was all those excuses were actually reasons why I needed to participate.

I started slow, I joined the Rest + Restore program. Yes, I fell asleep during multiple Zoom calls, while in the pose, but I realized I fell asleep because that's what my body needed.

Then I moved into Yoga Deep Dive. Yoga is not just about a bunch of poses and a mat, yoga is a philosophy and a frame of mind. It was a slow process, but it was so worth it to me.

My life is forever changed. I want to be a better person for me (you notice how I put myself first?!?!), my husband, my fur babies, my family, my friends, my patients, and my co-workers.

I look at things differently, made better decisions, realized how important I was.

Giving from a full cup is so much more fulfilling, I can enjoy doing good things for people, but no longer at the cost of myself.

Yoga means union...I am finally starting to feel united mind, body, and soul thanks to Brittany and the many amazing people I have met in these groups!!

Namaste
