Burnout and overwhelm have almost always been a certainty in the nursing industry. Despite our training to care for our patients, we aren’t necessarily equipped to deal with and manage burnout as a nurse.

We are joined in this week’s episode by the wonderful nurse Michelle Gordon, founder of the Health and Happiness Formula and the Healthy Happy Nurse! We talked about her fantastic experience exploring oneself, developing self-awareness, and navigating through burnout and overwhelm.

Finding the path to freeing ourselves from burnout and overwhelm takes a lot of work and seeking out the support of people we can trust. The result is being able to create a life you love aligned with your goals, dreams, and desires.

If you feel stuck in a rut or perhaps even sometimes find yourself drowning in anxiety, and you want to start the journey to being free from burnout and overwhelm- this episode is perfect for you!
