This is a picture of my face after three back-to-back 12-hour ICU shifts.

No filter. No glam. Just raw exhaustion.

I used to think boundaries were for people with less on their plate.

That saying no was a luxury I hadn’t earned yet.

At one point, I was working full-time in ICU, finishing NP school, juggling clinicals, and holding everything together with caffeine and cortisol.

People would say, “You’re killing it.”

But I was barely surviving.

My body had been warning me for a long time—anxiety, racing heart, sleepless nights. Until I finally realized:
If I didn’t create healthy boundaries and understand my true bandwidth, the healthcare system would take everything from me until there was nothing left.

BTW, if you're ready to stop living in survival mode and start building a life that actually feels good, grab my free 10 Simple All-Day Mindfulness Practices.

You know the feeling: your body is done but your brain is in full charting-after-midnight mode. You toss, you turn, you scroll, you check the time (again)—and then you wake up feeling even worse the next day.

That was me too—until I started using these four ridiculously simple night rituals. They’re now a non-negotiable part of how I care for my nervous system, especially after long days in scrubs.

Here’s what helps me actually sleep:

1. Ask Yourself: “What Went Well Today?”

💸 3 Career Moves That Helped Me Build Financial Security as an NP

BTW, if you're ready to stop living in survival mode and start building a life that actually feels good, grab my free Financial Health Self-Audit Guide here.

As a nurse practitioner who was beyond tired of feeling like I was just surviving shift to shift, I made three decisions in my career that I’ll never regret. These weren’t overnight changes—but they were powerful. And they gave me something most women in healthcare don’t even realize is available to them: real financial security.

Here’s exactly what I did:

1. I Stopped Living Above My Means

Sounds simple. But as a high-earning healthcare professional, it’s easy to fall into the trap of spending everything you make—especially when your job is exhausting and you feel like you “deserve” a reward.

The truth? You can’t out-earn poor money habits...

WARNING: This one is NOT for everyone! Proceed with caution ⚠️ 

If you've been in my world for a bit you'll know I have a love/hate relationship with the idea of side hustles.

On one hand, my previous "side hustle" turned kinda whole thing has allowed me to build a flexible, family-oriented, self-care heavy business where I get to help women in healthcare create peaceful, balanced, healthy lives for themselves. Love that for us.

On the other hand, I've had a TON of women in healthcare come to me massively struggling with business-building burnout BECAUSE someone promised them that starting their *own thing* would alleviate their healthcare burnout by giving them *freedom.* 🙄 

This is a problem. lol. Tbh I think I've coached more women in healthcare OUT of running a business than starting one for one very specific reason.

They didn't actually want to run a business!

For All the Moms In Healthcare

Is it actually possible for moms in healthcare to feel present with their kids?

The short answer? Yes—but not by doing more.

Many moms in healthcare find themselves caught between two worlds.
One moment you're giving your all to patients, the next you’re home—but emotionally drained, mentally overloaded, and struggling to reconnect with your family.

And even on your days off, it doesn’t always get easier.

Why “Trying Harder” Isn’t the Solution

You’ve probably already tried:

• Getting up earlier

• Planning "quality time"

• Mastering time management

• Multitasking everything

But the truth is… the exhaustion and guilt never fully go away.

That’s because the problem isn’t your effort—it’s the expectation that you have to be everything to everyone, all the time.

The Real Turning Point? Boundaries.

The real shi...

3 Money Mindset Shifts Every Woman in Healthcare Needs to Know

Here are 3 mindset shifts that have massively improved my life as a nurse practitioner —and they can change yours, too.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly working but never getting ahead financially, you’re not alone. Many women in healthcare feel stuck in a cycle of picking up overtime just to keep up with expenses. But what if there was another way?

Let’s talk about the shifts that can help you build wealth, reduce stress, and take back control of your money.

💡 #1: Building Wealth (even on a Nurse’s Salary) Isn’t Impossible

You don’t need a six-figure tech job or a finance degree to build wealth—you just need a system.

The key isn’t necessarily making more money. It’s about managing what you already earn with intention.
When you know where your money is going, have a simple system to fol...

Finding Jobs That Align With Your Personal Values and Lifestyle

How can women in healthcare find jobs that align with their personal values and lifestyle?

So many women in healthcare think they have to fit their lives around a rigid job—but it doesn’t have to be that way.

It starts with getting crystal clear on what actually matters most to you.

Step 1: Know Your Core Values

When I coach women through career transitions, we always begin with their top three core values.
Yours might be:

• Health

• Peace

• A slower, simpler lifestyle

• Flexibility

• Time with your kids

• Community and connection

Knowing these values helps guide all life decisions—not just career ones.

Step 2: Make a Short List of Job Must-Haves

Once you're clear on your values, make a SHORT list (3–5 features MAX) of what you're really looking for in a role.

Here a...

Financial Health for Women in Healthcare: The Missing Piece

Did you know financial health is part of holistic health?

Holistic means whole. Whole-person wellness.
And guess what? That includes your money.

As women in healthcare, we are trained for so many things:
🩺 Managing life-threatening emergencies
⏰ Juggling back-to-back 12-hour shifts
😮‍💨 Pushing through exhaustion to care for everyone else

But when it comes to financial health?
We’re taught nothing.

Why So Many Women in Healthcare Struggle With Money

This lack of financial education keeps so many smart, capable, compassionate women stuck in cycles of:

• Avoiding bank statements

• Feeling ashamed or overwhelmed

• Taking on more shifts or degrees, hoping more income = less stress

But here's the truth:
You can’t outwork poor money habits.
Just like you can’t fix burnout with caffeine.

Fina...

When Is It Finally Time to Prioritize Your Own Well-Being?

If you’re a woman working in healthcare, you’ve probably heard some version of this:
“Just push through.”
“Take care of the patients first.”
“Self-care? That’s for people who don’t have real responsibilities.”

And for a while, I bought into it. Hard.

Overworking? That was basically my whole personality. Burnout? Never heard of her (except I totally had—I was just too deep in survival mode to call it what it was).

But then I had a wake-up call.
I realized I was treating my job like a never-ending emergency... and my actual life outside of work? That was always being saved for later. For someday. For when things “calmed down.” Spoiler alert: they never do.

The Healthcare System Will Take Everything If You Let It

Here’s the cold, hard truth: the healthcare system will absolutely take as much as you’re willi...

How I Knew I Was Burned Out—And What I Did to Completely Transform My Life

If you’re a woman in healthcare running on fumes, just trying to keep your head above water, this story is for you.

About 10 years ago, I found myself in a place so many nurses know all too well: completely exhausted, overworked, and questioning if I could keep living like this. I was in nurse practitioner (NP) school at the time, juggling intense clinical hours and academic pressure—on top of working.

On the outside, it probably looked like I was holding it together. Honestly, I was overdelivering like so many of us do. But on the inside? My body was waving every red flag it could find:

• Constant anxiety

• Insomnia

• Heart palpitations

• Zero energy

• Thyroid issues I kept brushing off

Burnout wasn’t just knocking at the door—it had moved in, unpacked its bags, and was ...
