Cupcakes, Counseling, and a Year That Changed Everything

It’s guest episode #2 in a row, and we’re joined by Noelle as she approaches one year at Grove. Noelle shares her path from 10 years in nursing, to stepping away because of burnout, to finding her way back into a helping role in a healthier, more sustainable environment. We talk about what burnout can really look like, the value of boundaries and self-care, and why the front desk can be its own kind of “first stop” support. Plus: the story behind the Grovey Awards, how Noelle became the team’s go-to “chaos tamer,” and a few exciting hints about what’s coming in 2026 as Grove continues to grow. Remember that listening to this podcast is not therapy. It might be therapeutic, but it isn’t a replacement for good mental health treatment. We can help with getting you connected with a good therapist. Check out our website.  Grove: A Healing Collective
