Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn't-- but Built to be You was put on pause for a hot minute. Not because I didn't want to be here but because physically, mentally and emotionally, I didn't have the capacity to be here. 

I kept "shoulding" all over myself but my inner knowing knew that I needed to honor + respect the things I teach here- boundaries, self love, self care, handling emotions that are hard to name and so much more.

Todays episode is more of a life chat than anything but I hope it gives some action to insight and a little bit of hope that if you are in the pits of burnout, feeling extra tired, not sure what direction life is leading you or anywhere in between-- that you too, will find your way. Like a boat stuck in the ocean during the middle of a storm, the white caps will go away, the waves will settle and the sunshine and blue skies will come in to your life again. 

One thing I share in this episode that I normally don't is a little piece of my journal after a real, raw convo I had with my therapist on one of the hardest days. 

From the deepest part of my heart- I love this podcast community and for you reading this right now, for making it possible! 

xoxo, Mich

Todays podcast guest is apart of our nurse fam community but ALSO a powerhouse when it comes to all things holistic health. I love that Lindsey is a multi-dimensional nurse and has so many other great outlets and a greater purpose outside of who/what she does as a nurse! 

Not sure what holistic health even means? Lindsey walks us through what holistic entails, how to start incorporating in to your life in real time with tangible tips and tricks to help you navigate the tricky 12 hour shifts + demand of #nurselife!

So often nurses try to overcomplicate incorporating healthier habits but I love Lindseys simple approach to all things meal prep + getting your body moving!

You know that we always chat about how important ENERGY is and today we chat about how to best support your own!

How have I already been a nurse for 2 years?! 🤯

I honestly feel like I just started but todays episode is a more laid back style chatting with you what I have learned in the first 2 years of being a nurse. I once dreamed of being a travel nurse and now that I am living this career path I can't help but be in major reflection mode of what a wild, confusing, beautiful ride it's been. 

I hope todays episode inspires you to take a moment and reflect back on all that you have accomplished in your career and allow you to get curious about what other opportunities are out there for you! 

At the end of this month I will be doing another giveaway over on my IG for anybody who shares the pod on their IG stories and tags me in it OR leaves a new review! & the best way to spread this message to more humans who need it?! By you sharing!! 

Thank you so much for all that you do and for being here!

We make over 35,000 decisions every single day.. 

That is A LOT of decisions ya feel? Imagine if you could eliminate some of those moments where you have to second guess or think twice about what to do next

If you could save that time, intention and energy for what really matters?

I was meal prepping the other day and I was like.. I'm kind of a ninja, nbd. I am PROUD of the routines that I have and how I chose to be REACTIVE instead of PROACTIVE. 

My type A personality loves having a plan but it honestly makes life simpler. Today I share with you how to overcome decision fatigue and a few simple tools you can add to your toolbox to eliminate decisions and that "putting out fires mode" as soon as you wake up in the AM. I know your mind, body and productivity will thank me for this one!

Ever found yourself upset when you didn’t finish your to do list for the day?

Or when you started a project or working towards a goal and once you finished you felt that “I could’ve done better”  feeling?

Trying to be it “ALL” is setting yourself up for the pits of burnout. Disappointment and guilt. 

& as you run in circles trying to accomplish “it all” you will realize it's a rat race you will never win.

As  a multi-passionate, multidimensional human -- if I could do it all, I would. But TBH I was tired of the "do it all mentality"- I told my mentor this year I want everything to be EASIER
I would I want to get REALLY GOOD at a few things instead of trying to do everything. 

Which meant I needed to get CLEAR on HOW to make that happen. Today I share with you an exercise that has literally change my productivity and energy. Using the PICK THREE method has allowed me to lopsided at balance, where I no longer try to squeeze a mile long to do list in to my everyday but instead get really INTENTIONAL with just a few things-- leaving me feeling more satisfied and more focus. I get DEPTH on my tasks and focus on the quality > quantity.

& I know if you take the time to implement this in your own day to day- it will change your life, too.

Ever found yourself showing up to work saying “holy cow this isn’t even what I want to do be doing?”

& wondering how you ended up there in the first place?

Lina is a physical therapist who paid a lot of money and spent a lot of time to get a degree and after 3 years… she is learning how to navigate unchartered waters when it comes to figuring out what it is she really wants for yourself, her life, her career and helping you do the same 

Asking yourself what is the next best move? How do I gain clarity and GROW through the season I am in?

 The education system failed to teach us as healthcare providers, as nurses, that WE are the most valuable asset of the entire profession.

This episode will empower you to navigate your priorities between shifts and on your days off because that's how you fill your cup up.

You are truly what makes the world go 'round in the healthcare world. And honestly, to some? You're just a number. I don't mean that in a way to talk down to you but I mean that in a way that you are just a number to so many. But you are not just a number to yourself.

When you learn the tools and the resources to embody a life of being more than just a nurse..
Where you realize that how you show up outside of work translates to how you show up AT work..
When you realize that your breaking point doesn't have to be just right around the corner..
Your whole life gets to change.

Nurses need nurses and we don't only need other nurses, we need nurses who can empathize. We need nurses who can understand. We need nurses who can celebrate with one another.

Living it, seeing it, doing it-- hustle culture has become a lifestyle for so many.

& you may be living in it.. without even realizing it.

If you're the doer, I want to encourage you to rest.
If you're the feeler, I want to encourage you to redefine success
If you're the observer or the seer, I want you to learn how to unfollow and distance yourself from people who gave you that crummy feeling of comparison. 

I want you to use todays episode as a STARTING POINT to take inventory of your day to day intentions, action and schedule and empower you with a few tangible tools to SHIFT.

This time last year I sent out an email titled "the big 3"-- it was the 3 goals I wanted to accomplish in 2021 and as I have spent the last few weeks reflecting on all that happened in 2021 this email popped in to my mind.. I went back to read it only to find out that 2 out of the 3 goals? Didn't necessarily "happen" which is why I wanted to share with you today THREE ways to REFRAME your goals. 

Often times goals get chased because of what society tells you to do or because of what you feel like you "should be doing" 
Or sometimes you lose sight of the long term vision while in pursuit of a goal 
Or sometimes you confused REDIRECTION with quitting 

I give you 3 powerful reframes to hopefully help guide you in to the new year. So you can set goals from a place of integrity with the reminder of what the bigger picture is while ALSO giving yourself permission to REDIRECT when things aren't working out the way you originally planned/thought while getting rid of this "winners never quit" mentality. 

I would love to hear and celebrate some of your WINS from 2021 and whats to COME for you in 2022-- so don't forget to share the love with me over on the gram @michaela_robertson_

REMINDER: do what feels good for YOU going in to the new year, not what everybody else is doing!
