Surprise! Here’s a Few Bonus Laughs with @MemeNurseOfficial Feb 20, 2020

Show notes

Who is the mystery meme maker @memenurseofficial? You’ve seen his memes. They've either made you laugh or offended you. Lol. We all know that nursing is not all unicorns and roses. We all know that our work isn’t just one positive life-saving day after another. It’s tough and demanding. Where do we turn for a vent? We turn to places like the @memenurseofficial profile and laugh when we find other people who can understand our reality. In today’s surprise conversation with him, we talk about some issues in our profession and how we need some space to vent with others who speak the same language.

Comfort Eating: Part 2 Feb 18, 2020

Show notes

Food shaming is very prevalent on social media. It is something that has really made my comfort eating ride feel more like a roller coaster than cruise control, and I hope that with the wrapping of this story, if you are going through the same thing I am, you can find a little comfort in this episode.

Comfort Eating: Part 1 Feb 11, 2020

Show notes

We all have that ONE thing we always turn to in times of stress or sadness or trauma, even boredom. My one thing is food. Comfort eating helped me through abusive relationships, losing my job, and every other up and down moment in my roller coaster life. In these next few episodes, I’m opening up about my struggle with emotional eating.

The Arrest: Part 2 Jan 21, 2020

I was faced with the unpleasant reality that the consequences for my actions would be difficult. I had succeeded at making an impulsive and reckless decision that would throw me into a pit of very humbling reality. So, you might assume that I learned a lesson and these impulsive reckless actions ceased...think again.

Show notes

Toxic positivity: so prevalent on social media. It’s turned into such a “trending topic” that we have forgotten that acknowledging negative emotions and working through them is part of being a healthy human.
