What I’m Actually Protecting By Building

I never planned to be a leader. I planned to stay at the bedside - a labor and delivery nurse doing the work I loved. And then my manager was let go. And someone asked me to step in. That one yes changed everything. In this episode I talk about the loneliness of leading former friends, the imposter syndrome that followed me into every room, and what was really underneath all that building -protection. For my family. For the stability I had spent my whole life trying to create. And then COVID came. A parking lot swabbing tent. Scared doctors. Seven days a week for months - until I became physically ill, burned out, and for the first time in my career didn't love what I was doing anymore. This is the episode about what happens when you give everything. And what's possible when you finally start building for yourself. Still Building is a podcast about becoming — honestly.
