This week, we're diving headfirst (pun intended) into some seriously chaotic parenting energy—starting with our “WTF Mom Moment of the Day” (because toddlers be wild). We’re sharing our go-to coffee orders that get us through the madness, then jumping into the big question: Does my kid actually need to go to the ER for that head bump? 💥🧠

We're bringing the realness with personal stories from our own mini-humans, a little triage nurse wisdom, and a lot of laughs. If you’ve ever Googled “Is this a medical emergency?” at 2AM—this one's for you.

You’ve found us — and now you can’t un-hear us. In this very first episode of This Might Hurt a Bit, we’re cracking open the chaos with iced coffee in hand and zero clue what we’re doing (but we’re doing it anyway).

Join Brooke (former L&D nurse turned triage whisperer) and Krystle (ER escapee turned pajama-clad phone nurse) as we spill a little backstory, overshare our long-term dreams, and explain why this podcast is our therapy, hobby, and hopefully — our retirement plan.

We also dive into:

• The awkward reality of working from home (is it worth it?)

• This week’s Toddler Struggle™

• A peek at what’s coming in future episodes (spoiler: mom guilt, head trauma, mental health meds & more)

Whether you're a fellow nurse, a millennial mom, or someone who thrives on sarcastic side commentary — you’re in the right place.

Welcome to This Might Hurt a Bit — a podcast by two nurse friends giving unfiltered advice, real talk, and chaotic energy from the nurse hotline and beyond. Meet Krystle and Brooke, still nurses, still giving advice, and still spiraling on the daily.
