I never planned to be a leader. I planned to stay at the bedside - a labor and delivery nurse doing the work I loved.

And then my manager was let go. And someone asked me to step in.

That one yes changed everything.

In this episode I talk about the loneliness of leading former friends, the imposter syndrome that followed me into every room, and what was really underneath all that building -protection. For my family. For the stability I had spent my whole life trying to create.

And then COVID came. A parking lot swabbing tent. Scared doctors. Seven days a week for months - until I became physically ill, burned out, and for the first time in my career didn't love what I was doing anymore.

This is the episode about what happens when you give everything.

And what's possible when you finally start building for yourself.
