Bad Decisions

I’m sure a lot of us made bad decisions in high school. But for me, this one stands out in particular, because I can still see the look on my mom's face that day, and that image will forever be burned in my soul.

These episodes weren't easy. Talking about this, although it can be therapeutic, takes me back to some of the darkest moments of my life. I have always been rather ashamed of them, however, part of my growth process is to find grace through telling my story and to hopefully help another woman in the process.

It's interesting how your perspective on things of the past can become clear when you realize that those moments from 20 years ago have affected your life at the present. This year I realized how leaving wounds open and unhealed can be problematic.

This episode is a heavy one. This past year, my family learned of my sister's diagnosis of Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer. But it didn't end there, as I was faced with a pretty big situation with my own boobs.

This week, I discusses my early days of YouTube and social media, diving into what it means to give up on something with potential. I'm here to emphasize the importance of not dwelling on failures, but moving forward with a positive attitude, and focusing on what you have and will achieve.

It's something so prevalent in the healthcare professions. Burnout will likely affect almost every health provider at some point in time in their career. But should it be expected? Why is this the "norm"? This week I explore my experience with burnout, my bad decisions to stay in environments that are not healthy, and my eventual decision to pursue grad school.
