Why do we continue to keep people in our lives who contribute nothing? Why do we stay in relationships that offer no value other than historic nostalgia? Why do we stay in jobs that we LOATHE which do not value us? I call it keeping dead weight around. It's time to spring clean your life.

This week on Bad Decisions, I talk about something that really felt heavy on my heart- how nurses are truly not given the appreciation and recognition we deserve, and how hospitals across the country are reaffirming this feeling with the bullshit nurse's week gifts.
