#93 The Realest Talk About Burnout with The Bundle Birth Mentors

What started as a simple “This or That” poll on a Bundle Birth Nurses Instagram, 7,000 of you responded, and those results stopped me in my tracks. It sparked a deep dive into the reality so many of you are living. Burnout isn’t just a buzzword; it’s something thousands of you across our community are quietly carrying. In this episode, we’re digging into what burnout really looks like for labor and delivery nurses today.I brought this to our incredible Bundle Birth Nurses Mentors to discuss what can we do about this. Throughout this episode, they pop in to share their lived experience, wisdom, and honest insights about how burnout shows up, why it’s happening, and what it means for the work we do.This is a unique, conversational episode where we unpack burnout, moral injury, the unseen emotional load of being a nurse, and the responsibility we carry to “stand in the gap” for patients and each other. We don’t have an easy solution, but we hope this conversation helps you feel seen, supported, and a little less alone. Let’s explore burnout and learn what it might look like to rebuild our sense of purpose together.
