This Isn’t About Bubble Baths. It’s About Survival.

I didn’t become a nurse just to hand out care plans that ignored the most important parts of us. I became a nurse to save mothers and daughters — women like my mom, who worked herself sick trying to move us forward. But what I learned was painful: the healthcare system was failing us. Our care plans weren’t holistic. They didn’t touch the mental, the emotional, or the spiritual. And it nearly cost me my life. After a 12-hour night shift, I collapsed on my bathroom floor in the middle of a panic attack. My body was screaming what I had been ignoring for years. That’s when I took my first sacred pause. I learned to breathe, to listen, to make space for myself. And in that pause, I realized something had to change — not just for me, but for every woman holding it all together while dismantling her own health in the process.
