Mental Health in the Time of COVID with ShrinkChicks Aug 31, 2021

Trigger Warning: death and serious illness. Healthcare workers are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic and the stories shared in this episode from an inside, firsthand perspective are heavy and potentially triggering.

Today’s episode is a guest episode with the mental health professionals of the ShrinkChicks podcast, Emmalee and Jen. We have a powerful conversation about my experience working on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis as a nurse. We discuss my firsthand experiences from a New York Hospital (right after a major break-up, mind you), my own severe case of COVID, how the work affected my mental health, burnout, and switching careers. I also share why I left the nursing profession all together, what I am doing now, and why part of my new mission is to help nurses find their passion.

Honoring the Memory of Ebi: Up Close and Personal with Ebi of @NurseLifeRN, Part 1 (Re-release) Jul 27, 2021

Our hearts are heavy with the passing of Ebi (@nurselifern @ebi_eats) this past week. We first met in 2014 and I can honestly say he was one of the most genuine humans I’ve ever known.

I want to honor his legacy and re-release the first 2 episodes of this podcast, of which I had the honor of interviewing him in a very candid one on one (which was actually the only time he was on the receiving end of an interview - something we both got a kick out of).
