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!

They wanted to help, coach, teach, create, lead, share, and serve.

There is a LOT more that goes into running a bu...

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 shift happens when you realize this:

Balance isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing less—but better.

It’s about:

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 follow, and stick to it consistently, you can grow wealth—yes, even on a nurse’s paycheck.

💡 #2: Investing Isn’t as Scar...

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 are examples from real clients:

• No nights, no weekends, no on-call

• A short commute or remote work

• Specific

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.

Financial Wellness Is Self-Care

The real game changer is understanding that financial health is just as vital as physical h...

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 willing to give. And if you don’t draw a line? You will eventually burn out, numb out, or both.

So I drew that line.
I stopp...

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 running the whole damn show. I ignored the whispers, then the talking, until my body started screaming. And still, like ...

5 Hard Truths Every Burned Out Woman in Healthcare Needs to Hear (That Took Me 6 Years to Learn)

It took me 6 years as a nurse to learn these 5 lessons—but once I did, my life and career were never the same.

If you're a woman working in healthcare and feeling like you're constantly on edge, stuck on the hamster wheel of long shifts, zero time for yourself, and no end in sight... you're not broken. You're burned out. And you’re not alone.

I’m here to tell you what I wish someone had told me years ago.

Let’s talk about the 5 things that finally snapped me out of the burnout spiral—and might just change your life too.

1. You’re Not “Letting the Team Down” If You Don’t Pick Up That Extra Shift

I know how strong the guilt can be. You see that hole on the schedule, and you think, “I should help out.”

But here's the truth: it’s not your job to compensate for a broken system. Low staffing is not your fault. Your hospital would replace you in a week if you burned out or broke do...
