If you've ever clocked out and still felt completely "on" — jaw tight, brain still running triage, body too wired to rest — this episode is the one. Kristi Croddy, ER nurse and psychiatric nurse practitioner, breaks down exactly what chronic activation does to your nervous system, your brain, and your soul. Using her three-pillar framework of IFS parts work, somatic body awareness, and Christian faith, she walks through the neuroscience of nurse burnout, the reality of secondary traumatic stress, and three concrete tools you can use this week.
