Show Notes:

We sat down to chat with highly requested guest, Nurse Clara, and had the best time talking about her journey to becoming a Labor and Delivery nurse as a new grad, blogging, therapy, and goals for the future! Clara has shared her life through blogging from high school, to where she is now working part-time in L&D, continuing to grow with her following online, and preparing for graduation! Along with bonding over commonalities we share in this incredibly diverse career of nursing, we have a real conversation about the benefits of going to therapy. Just like Clara, this episode is about showing up authentically, connecting with link-minded people, and making a difference in your community!
