Client Spotlight: Sammy B

I found Brittany when otherwise I would have either left nursing or dug some kind of metaphysical hole and disappeared!

Instead the Universe brought me a healing relationship!

With someone who understood, someone who had been through burnout and was doing well on the other side.

My spirit saw this and thought, "Oh! A sliver of hope!"

I started my journey bitter, disheartened, totally lost.

I had been to yoga classes in the past but YOGA 101 helped me build an actual practice...surrounded by real support.

It helped something shift in me.

This shift was obvious to everyone.

I started being nice to people and not because I had to but because I wanted to.

And then, something came full circle.

Life is funny that way.

One time, when I was a baby ICU nurse, a senior nurse yelled at me. I was humiliated.  I thought I wasn’t good enough.

I almost quit.

I didn’t ask questions for fear of looking stupid.

I barely survived my first year in the ICU until I finally blurted out how hard I thought this all was.

Thankfully, a healed, loving coworker said, "everyone feels like that their first year!"

WHAT?

I didn’t know it at the time, but this 2 minute conversation combined with intense personal healing via yoga and Brittany’s Yoga Deep Dive program would help me show up as the loving preceptor I am today.

I have trained 1/4 of the nurses on my unit!

And I do so by remembering what it’s like to be new!

With kindness.

Encouraging “not knowing" because no one knows everything!

New nurses will ask questions if they feel supported!

I've also grown in my personal strengths.

Last month, I flew to Banff Alberta by myself.

I went on two guided tours with total strangers. I was utterly terrified to do this and now that I have...I can’t wait to do it again.

That’s what yoga does!

It turns you into a badass loving healed preceptor who travels on her own!
