Number 3: #112 Self-Care Won’t Fix Your Burnout with Amelia Nagoski
What if burnout isn’t an inevitable part of nursing, but it’s a sign that we’re stuck in a system that asks too much of us? In this episode of Happy Hour with Bundle Birth Nurses, Sarah Lavonne sits down with Amelia Nagoski, co-author of New York Times Best Seller Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle, to unpack why caregivers, and especially nurses, are so vulnerable to burnout. They explore human giver syndrome, the impact of systemic stress, learned helplessness, and why self-care alone can’t solve a problem rooted in a broken system. Amelia shares practical ways nurses can complete the stress cycle, build a “bubble of love,” reset their expectations, and protect their capacity to keep showing up. Most importantly, this conversation offers a message of hope: we heal people who heal the system, and we don’t have to do it alone.
