Most nurses are taught to endure burnout, not redesign their lives. Tasha Triana reveals how she went from postpartum bedside nursing to transformational coach, hypnotherapist, Reiki master, and future-self guide - and why the real pivot starts long before you hand in your resignation.Host Cecilia Amato and Tasha unpack the hidden identity patterns that keep high-achieving nurses trapped in overwork, people pleasing, and fear of disappointing others. If you have ever wondered whether your exhaustion is really a signal to change course, this conversation will hit home.You'll discover how Tasha used hypnosis, journaling, and future-self visualization to reprogram her subconscious and create a business that feels expansive instead of draining. She breaks down the mindset shifts behind leaving the hospital, the role of burnout as a wake-up call, and why learning to receive support, rest, and money can feel so uncomfortable at first.Cecilia and Tasha also get honest about the cultural conditioning baked into healthcare, from glorifying long shifts to confusing self-sacrifice with success. Tasha shares the specific boundaries that protected her energy, the morning rituals that regulate her nervous system, and the simple practice of asking, "What would my future self do?" before making big decisions.This episode is for nurses, healthcare workers, and high performers who know they are meant for more but haven't yet figured out how to trust the next step.

The path out of burnout is rarely linear, and Tasha Triana proves it. A registered nurse turned transformational coach, hypnotherapist, Reiki master, and host of Next Level Self, Tasha shares how she left psychology for nursing, nearly pursued Doctors Without Borders, and built an entirely new life by following intuition instead of the script.

This conversation goes behind the scenes of reinvention: hospital burnout, the pandemic-era pressure of postpartum nursing, the identity shift from caregiver to business owner, and the daily practices that helped Tasha reprogram her future.

You'll discover: 🩺 Why Tasha started coaching nurses around boundaries, self-care, and self-worth 🔮 How future-self visualization became a turning point in her own pivot 🧠 What she learned from hypnotherapy, subconscious reprogramming, and identity work 💸 Why receiving money, rest, support, and even compliments can feel unsafe 🌱 How she built a business without burning out by creating non-negotiable space for herself

Cecilia and Tasha also dig into the stuff high achievers and helpers often avoid — people pleasing, fear of disappointment, perfectionism, grief, and letting an old identity die before the new one can emerge. Essential listening if you're craving a more aligned life, a healthier relationship with work, and the courage to trust your own voice.
