This podcast is a safe space for nurses to be heard, to be seen, and to be understood. My name is Ali, and I have been an ICU nurse for seven years. As ever purposeful and fulfilling our job is, it comes with many sacrifices and challenges. Not only can it affect personal lives and relationships, but it takes a toll on our well-being. My guests and I have conservations on the importance of self-preservation, self-care, mental health and tools and resources on how to protect well-being. My hope is to inspire listeners to practice a fulfilling life of peace and happiness and potential healing.

On today episode I am joined by my SoulCycle spin instructor, Liv. I used today’s episode to not merely have a discussion on what SoulCycle is and why I find Liv inspiring but to shed some light on the importance of community and where you find your community or communities, ways you can fill your cup and where you can find the things you need in places that you did not think you would find it.
Liv is a spin instructor at SoulCycle and Nike Well Collective Coach, her classes are spicy, fun, and powerful but above all they are filled with love and a reminder that we are all human and in this together. Liv is awe inspiring with her energy, kindness and in her words and I have always been so appreciative of her openness about mental health and therapy.
We have discussions around community, how even in a spin class we can give a moment to reflect on… Is this the hardest thing I’ve ever been through? The strength in just showing up, remembering to be thankful for our bodies, the importance of disconnecting so you can connect back to yourself to be able give to others, that sometimes the scariest and bravest thing you can say is… I need help and by practising kindness to others you end up being kinder to yourself.
I am hoping the listeners can let me know what they do or what they are thinking about doing to fill their cups and maybe inspire people to help build a nursing community as well.
