As a flight and ER nurse, Nurse Gwenny was trained to handle emergencies—but no protocol prepared her for the internal struggles she faced behind the scenes. In this episode, she opens up about her mental health journey, the weight of compassion fatigue, and how confronting her own pain transformed her practice. For fellow health care professionals, her story is a powerful reminder that caring for others starts with caring for ourselves—and that strength often begins with vulnerability.
