I did not see it coming until I had already lost everything.
Follow for more because this is the conversation nobody is having with women in healthcare.
I was the nurse other nurses called when things got hard.
I stayed late. I picked up extra shifts. I gave everything I had to my patients and then went home and gave what was left to everyone else.
I wore it like a badge.
Until I lost my nursing career, my health, and my marriage all at once. And fell into an eight year addiction I never saw coming.
That did not happen because nursing
is hard.
It happened because I had been abandoning myself my entire life and I did not even know it had a name.
If you are crying in your car before your shift, snapping at the people you love, and saying yes when every part of you is screaming no, please hear me.
That is not just burnout. That is a pattern.
And it will keep costing you until you go to the root of it.
I do not want you to lose what I lost.
Comment ROOTED below and I will send you the details of the Rooted Woman Reset.
This is where the pattern finally changes.
You are exactly where you need to be. 💛
