017 More Signs of Nurse Burnout

In this episode, we’re talking about the later stages of burnout: Withdrawal and Shut Down. These stages can feel heavy—but you are not broken, and there is hope. In the Withdrawal stage, you may feel numb, tired of caring, and want to pull away from people and responsibilities. In the Shut Down stage, both your mind and body feel like they’ve hit a wall—like you can’t keep pushing anymore.
If you’ve noticed big changes in your mood, energy, or health—or if you’ve thought, “I’m just not myself anymore”—this episode is for you. I’ll help you understand what’s really happening and share one simple step to start feeling better. You are not alone, and healing is absolutely possible.

016 First Stages of Nurse Burnout

In this episode, we talk about the first two stages of burnout: Overcompensation and Denial. These are common in nursing. At first, you might push yourself too hard, trying to prove you’re doing a good job. You may stop resting, stop eating well, and feel like you’re never doing enough.
Then comes the Denial stage. You might feel angry, numb, or constantly irritated with the people you love. Work takes over everything, and you stop doing the things that used to bring you joy. If this sounds like you, you are not alone—and you can feel better. Listen in to learn what to watch for and one simple step to take today.

015 You are the MVP!

Hi nurse friend, this one’s for you. If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and like you have nothing left to give, I want you to hear this—you matter. Too often, we put ourselves last, thinking it’s selfish to take care of our own needs. But the truth is, when you take care of yourself, you can actually show up better for your patients, your family, and yourself. In this episode, I’ll share why you are the most important person in your life and how shifting your mindset around self-care and self-worth can help you find balance, confidence, and peace—both on and off the job.
We’ll also talk about that little voice in your head—the one that says you’re not doing enough, not strong enough, not good enough. I’ll help you recognize that negative self-talk and show you how to quiet it. When you start treating yourself with the same care and compassion you give to everyone else, everything changes. If you’re struggling with burnout and feeling like you have nothing left, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about how to take care of the most important person in your life—you.
