  • So You Wanna Be a Rad Tech? The Real AF Truth No One Tells You

    In this episode of Shift Happens, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to become a rad tech (or survive healthcare at all). Forget the glossy brochures. This is the raw, unfiltered truth straight from someone who's lived it for over a decade.

    I'm answering the questions future rad techs are dying to ask but rarely hear honest answers about:

    • How to start your journey (and avoid shady schools that'll eat your money alive)

    • Why "less physically demanding" doesn't exist in healthcare—spoiler: your body is the job

    • The study hacks that kept me sane (and passing) during a brutal program while still working

    • How I juggled full-time shifts and school without completely losing my mind

    • The moment I realized radiology was actually my career (and how you can figure out if it's yours)

    Whether you're already in scrubs, thinking about going back to school, or just curious what goes on in the radiology world, this episode will give you the no-BS perspective you won't find on a university website.

  • Burnout Red Flags You're Ignoring (and Why Your Health Pays the Price)

    September came in hot and I'm not mad about it. Quick life update: Indy event with a room full of badass women, 180+ of you rocked the Burnout Recovery Reset, house renos (send help + a dishwasher fairy), and I'm packing for Vegas to speak at TravCon. Wild.

    Now, the real talk: the top 5 signs you're burnt out as a healthcare worker and how that quiet burnout is wrecking your health more than you think. If you're moody as hell, sleeping like a rock but still exhausted, anxious over everything, avoiding a social life, and the scale won't budge no matter what you try… you're not "just tired." You're burnt out. And no, a pizza party won't fix it.

    In this episode, I cover:

    • The five loud-as-hell burnout symptoms you've normalized

    • Why mental bandwidth has to come before macros and workouts

    • Tiny shifts that actually help when your shifts are chaos

    • How to stop letting the job bleed into your entire life

    If you're done being a warm body in scrubs and ready to feel human again, Healthy in Healthcare is open now. We kick off Sept 29. Spots are limited because I actually want to know your life, not treat you like a number. 🎉Join here! 🏃🏼‍♀️Hurry, doors close Wednesday Sept 24 (or when spots are filled!)

  • Case Study: How Amy Lost 27 Pounds on Rotating Shifts (Macros, Perimenopause, and Zero 5 a.m. Workouts)

    Real healthcare life, real results. In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on how my client Amy dropped 27 pounds while working unpredictable IR cases, juggling locations, and dealing with perimenopause. Without quitting her job or living in the gym.

    We cover:

    • Macros for healthcare workers (the non-influencer way): why we focused on protein + calories and kept fats smart for hormone support.

    • When you "forget to eat" on shift: fixing under-fueling so you don't face-plant into the pantry at 9 p.m.

    • Movement that fits rotating schedules: step stacking, off-day walks, and no-BS expectations (no 5 a.m. lifts required).

    • Mindset > perfection: how Amy enjoyed cinnamon rolls with her grandkids and still made progress.

    • The wins: 27 lbs down, first pain-free squat in 10 years, smaller scrubs, and actual energy to live a life outside the hospital.

    This is your proof that you don't need to torch your career to feel human again. You just need a plan that was built for women in scrubs.

  • How I Stopped Binge Eating After Shifts (and Lost 30 Pounds)

    Let's be real, healthcare is heavy. You walk through the door after a brutal 12-hour shift, straight into the freezer, the pantry, or the bottom a wine bottle. Then comes the guilt. The cycle repeats. I know, because I lived it. I didn't gain the "freshman 15"… I gained the "healthcare 30."

    In this week's episode of Shift Happens, I'm sharing exactly how I broke free from the binge-guilt-repeat loop, lost 30 pounds, and stopped letting this career run me into the ground. We're talking boundaries (yes, they matter more than you think), rebuilding your identity outside the scrubs, and taking care of your body without falling into another toxic cycle.

    This isn't about quick fixes or pretending the system isn't broken. It's about getting brutally honest with yourself and finally putting YOU first because surviving isn't the goal, thriving is.

    👉 Plus, if this episode hits home, you'll want to snag a seat in the Burnout Recovery Reset! It's the free 3 day masterclass for women in healthcare who actually want to hit their weight loss goals without another BS low carb diet.

    📆Sept 8, 10, & 11 @ 1PM EST, but don't worry, replays available if you're on shift! 🏆Plus those who join have the chance to win some fun prizes like Fabletics gift cards, coffee gift cards, and pop up coaching with me!

  • Shift Work Boundaries: Stop Letting Healthcare Eat Your Whole Life

    You clock out and keep working. Answering texts, skipping meals, dragging all that stress home.

    This week I'm talking boundaries. The real kind. Not just "say no to overtime" (though, yeah, that too). I mean:

    • Eating during your damn shift, even if it's just a protein bar between patients.

    • Putting your phone down when you clock out (your manager will survive).

    • Using your PTO without guilt — because newsflash you earned it.

    • Learning how to leave the heavy hospital shit at the hospital so your family doesn't get the leftovers.

    • And the home boundaries that actually let you breathe again.

    This isn't about being selfish. It's about survival. It's about not letting healthcare run your entire life. Because you deserve to feel like a whole human, not just a body in scrubs.

You became a healthcare worker to build a better life. Somewhere between the short staffing, the 12 hour shifts, the secondary trauma you carry home, and the "are you the nurse?" comments.. that got lost.
