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 Intensive Care Nurse for seven years. I know the reality of what it is to be a nurse, the emotional toll, and the fast-paced, critical challenges that we are met with every day. But during this intensity, how do we protect our well-being? As ever purposeful and fulfilling our job is, it comes with many sacrifices and challenges. Not only can it affect our personal lives and relationships, but it takes a toll on our own 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 our well-being. My hope is to inspire listeners to practice a fulfilling life of peace and happiness and potential healing, so that we do not lose sight of ourselves while caring for others.
