Burnout is a Nervous System Problem: How to Leave...

Shift Happens: The Health Podcast for Healthcare Workers ·

2026/03/04

If you're counting down the minutes before you even clock in… this episode is for you. This week is emotional as hell for me because it's my last week working in the hospital — and even though I'm not leaving because I hate healthcare, I am leaving because I'm sick of watching it chew women up and spit them back out. And here's the gut punch: burnout isn't just "short staffing" or "long shifts." Those are real, but the bigger problem? No one ever gave us tools to cope with a career that throws

Healthcare Burnout + Hormones: What's Actually Going...

2026/02/25

I'm sitting down with Sarah Salain, RN (aka the queen of hormones) to talk about what's actually happening in your body when you're working long shifts, living in fight-or-flight, skipping meals, and wondering why your energy, mood, cycle, or even fertility feels off. Sarah shares her own ER-to-holistic-health pivot after burnout + health issues hit hard, and we get into the real connection between stress, cortisol, progesterone, and why your body stops caring about "thriving" when it's stuck in

2026/02/18

You've probably seen the TikToks… "Quit your staff job, make six figures, and live on the beach." And listen, travel healthcare can be amazing. I've been a traveler for 5 years, I've worked in over a dozen hospitals, and travel genuinely changed my life. But I'm not here to sell you a fantasy. In this episode, I'm breaking down what a traveling healthcare worker actually is, who travel is (and isn't) for, and exactly how to get started if you're ready to go. Because yes, the pay can be great

2026/02/04

Recently, I shared that I'm stepping away from hospital work to fully support healthcare workers in a different way. The response was incredibly supportive, until one message stopped me in my tracks. A message that suggested burnout is a choice. That if you really wanted to, you could "just leave work at work." And I couldn't let that go. 💔Because it is not that simple. It's not simple to do post-mortem care and then go home and make dinner. It's not simple to do CPR on a fatal accident and

2026/01/28

If you're a healthcare worker who's heard of macros but still feels confused, overwhelmed, or convinced they "don't work," this episode is for you. I'm breaking down exactly what we covered inside my Macros Made Simple: Healthcare Edition challenge — because even after years of talking about nutrition, I'm still blown away by how many women in healthcare were never taught how food actually works in their bodies. And no, that's not your fault. In this episode, I walk through what macros actually

Today I'm breaking down a mindset shift I'll die on a hill for: your health is your wealth. Not "wealth" like you need to be rich. Wealth like: energy, confidence, freedom, options, and a life that doesn't feel like you're surviving between 12-hour shifts.

How the hell do healthcare workers see what they see… and not go home and eat/drink themselves into a coma? So let's talk about it. Because if you've ever gotten off a brutal shift, felt completely fried, and found yourself face-first in the pantry like a raccoon with scrubs on… you're not broken. You're human. And there's a reason this hits healthcare workers so hard. In this episode, I break down: Why stress makes you crave sugar/carbs/fat (yes, there's a real science reason) How the binge →

2025/12/31

I recorded this episode from my hotel bed during that weird in-between week when Christmas is over, the new year hasn't quite started, and everyone feels the pressure to "get it together." Instead of a fluffy New Year's pep talk, I wanted to have an honest conversation about goal setting — especially for healthcare workers — and why most goals fall apart so fast. In this episode, I talk about why New Year's resolutions fail, why vague goals like lose weight or have more energy don't work, and the

This episode is basically you riding home with me while I unpack the last nine years of my life. Healthcare, burnout, travel contracts, starting a business, and all the "what the hell am I doing?" moments in between. I originally thought I'd do a cute end-of-year recap… and then realized this year wasn't about one year at all. It was about closing a nine-year cycle that started back in 2017 when I graduated x-ray school and thought I had life figured out (spoiler: I did not). We talk about: Why

Working 12s, living on caffeine, and crashing the second your butt hits the couch? Yeah… same. In today's episode, I'm breaking down exactly why your energy sucks — and it has nothing to do with "willpower." From travel-assignment chaos (and free Diet Coke miracles) to the real basics that actually move the needle for healthcare workers, I'm showing you how I keep my energy up while waking up at 3 AM, driving three hours, and still not feeling like a zombie.

In this episode of Shift Happens, I'm sharing a big life update — yes, I quit my full-time hospital job — but I'm talking about it for one reason: to show you what's possible when you stop telling yourself you "don't have time." Because for months, I said the same thing you probably say every day: I'm exhausted. I don't have the hours. My schedule is the problem. But when I finally got honest, I realized I was the problem — and that small shifts create way more freedom than we think. In this

You don't really want weight loss.. you want your life back. 💥 In this heart-to-heart episode, I'm getting brutally honest about what you're really chasing when you say you want to lose weight. It's not about the number on the scale.. it's about waking up with energy, hiking without gasping for air, rebuilding your confidence (and maybe your marriage), and finally living your damn life again. After coming back from hiking through Utah's national parks, I had a massive realization: we don't crave

In this episode, I'm breaking down the three biggest physical symptoms I experienced when I was deep in burnout. From rapid weight gain and back pain to that stubborn, stress-triggered acne that made me want to scream.
