The Ritual Nurse

TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!Happy Nurses Week.If you got pizza, a pen, and a “you’re a hero” sign, congratulations. The system remains unchanged.If you got nothing, also congratulations. At least no one pretended.Either way, this episode is not about that.This is the first part of a six-part series about something we don’t name clearly enough: why nurses can be surrounded by “support” and still feel like they’re carrying everything alone.This is about lukewarm love.The kind that sounds right, looks right, and does absolutely nothing to reduce what you’re holding.If you have ever left a shift thinking, “I don’t know how much longer I can do this,”  and then showed up again anyway, this is going to make sense in a way that might feel uncomfortable at first, but also relieving.We break down the difference between support that is said and support that is actually felt. The difference between perceived support and received support. The gap between intention and impact.We get into what weaponized incompetence actually looks like in real life. Not as a buzzword, but as a pattern where the work of thinking, planning, and managing gets handed back to the person who is already overloaded.We talk about the mental load of nursing. The constant tracking, anticipating, adjusting, and holding that does not show up on a task list but absolutely shows up in your nervous system.And we talk about how this does not stay at work.How the same patterns follow you home. How being the one who manages everything on shift often turns into being the one who manages everything in your life. Not because you chose it, but because you were trained into it.This series is not based on the popular “love languages” model. That framework is not strongly supported as a fixed psychological theory. But it did give people a way to start thinking about how they give and receive care.We’re taking that idea and grounding it in reality.Over the next few episodes, we’re going to walk through four specific forms of support that nurses consistently need in order to function and sustain themselves:InitiativeProtectionReliefWitnessingWhen those are missing, what you feel is not random. It is patterned. And once you can see the pattern, you can start to change how you respond to it.REFLECTIONWhere in your life are you accepting support that sounds good but does not actually help you?And what would it look like if it did?FAN VOICEMAILThere is a new voicemail feature in the show notes.Use it!! woooo!Tell me about a time when you realized what you were getting was not actually support.

TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!There’s a moment after a shift that almost every nurse knows.You get into your car. You close the door. And instead of driving home, you just sit there. Quiet. Still. Not really thinking. Not really doing anything.Just… sitting.This episode is about that moment.We’re talking about what happens to your nervous system during a shift endlessly filled with alarms, alerts, interruptions, and constant decision-making, and why your body sometimes hits a point where even one more question feels like too much.That “don’t touch me” feeling? Yeah, not rude. It's so so real.   In this episode, we break down the reality of technostress in modern nursing, why your brain stays in high alert long after your shift ends, and why jumping straight into home life can feel impossible some days.We also get honest about performative wellness. The kind that looks good on a poster but doesn’t actually help when your nervous system has been running at full speed for twelve hours.And most importantly, we talk about what actually helps.Small ways to reduce sensory overload during a shift. The importance of transition time after work. And how to reset your nervous system in real life, not in theory. Because nurses don’t need perfect routines. We need things that work in the middle of chaos.If you’ve ever done the "parking lot timeout" after work trying to come back to yourself before going home… this one is for you. (see also: drove home and don't remember a damn thing; filed next to: sat in the driveway finishing my songs so I could face real life next)In This Episode, We Talk About:• The “parking lot reset” and why so many nurses need it  • How constant alarms and alerts keep your nervous system in survival mode  • Why your social battery is gone after a shift (and why that’s normal)  • The problem with performative wellness in healthcare  • How to reduce sensory overload during your shift  • Simple ways to transition out of work so your personal life doesn’t take the hitCoffee, Crystals & ReflectionToday’s grounding focus: slowing the nervous system down after high stimulation. Epic card pulls and crystal prescription for the next two weeks. Reflection prompt: What does my nervous system actually need right now?If This Episode Hit Home~Send this to a nurse who has their own parking lot moment after work.You are not the only one sitting in silence trying to come back to yourself.Listen + Connect + WatchYoutube: @thecodeteamhubApple: apple.ritualnurse.comSpotify: spotify.ritualnurse.comText the show: (775) 218-3688 (keyword: Ritual)Shop + resources: https://bit.ly/RitualNurse Support the showHey!

TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!Well. I did it.I put on real pants and turned on the camera.The Ritual Nurse is officially on video and honestly? It feels vulnerable and powerful at the same time. We talk about what it actually took to set up a studio without losing our minds, why sound quality still matters more than aesthetics, and why I wanted you to see the tools we’ve been talking about for a year.In video format now you’ll get a real-time look at things like:The List notepad and how I actually use it on chaotic weeksThe Med-Surg nursing brain sheets built for clarity when your brain feels like scrambled eggsA peek at upcoming ICU and ER layoutsSome seasonal sticker designs that are honestly just funNothing curated. Nothing staged. Just me walking you through the stuff nurses actually use when the shift is heavy and the to-do list is wild.Then we slide into Coffee, Crystals, and Divination, but this time you can see the pull:Sapphire showed up. Which feels right. Reflection. Order. Truth. The kind of energy you need when your brain is juggling work, school, family, and your own nervous system. Aqua aura quartz came in like, “Hey. You’re allowed to feel better.” Invigoration without chaos. Calm focus instead of survival mode. And the tarot? Five and Seven of Pentacles. Scarcity stories. Asking for help. Tending what’s already growing instead of obsessing over what isn’t.And also… the reminder that something is already growing. Even if it doesn’t look like what you thought it would Video is new. Guests are coming. The dance break is staying in audio because... obviously.If you’re tired of productivity culture pretending to be self-care, you’re in the right place.If you’re building something bigger than bedside but still love being a nurse, you’re in the right place.If you’re slightly feral but committed to healing anyway?You’re absolutely in the right place.Subscribe to this. Text 'ritual' to me, (775) 218-3688, and join the crew. Send this to the nurse who looks fine but hasn’t processed anything in three years. ;) Support the showHey!

TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!This episode was recorded in the middle of stress, exhaustion, and December chaos while I was preparing for my doctoral defense. It turned into a real conversation about nurse burnout, nervous system overload, and what it looks like when the nurse finally needs care too.The moment the brain turns to static is the moment the body asks to be heard. I found myself there, slides blurring, coffee failing, and a doctoral defense looming...realizing I’d never send a patient into a high-stakes moment the way I was sending myself. So I pulled the brake and walked through a rapid, sub‑60‑second reset I call RISE: breathe once, orient to the room, drop into the body, and yield to the moment. That tiny sequence flipped my physiology from fight-or-flight into just-enough safety to choose the next right action. From there, we get practical and personal. We talk about why December is a special kind of exhausting for nurses and healthcare workers, how chronic stress narrows reasoning and scrambles memory, and why you can’t think your way out of nervous system overload. I share how analog rituals: leather crafting, traveler’s notebooks, and pen-on-paper; gave me a tactile, rhythmic way to calm my system. I also reimagined The List (Yes, Next, Pass, Goodbye) into journal-friendly inserts that close mental tabs and reduce that 2 a.m. anxiety spiral. If you’re neurodivergent or just maxed out, you’ll get a tool that’s fast, portable, and rewarding enough to finish before stress hijacks your focus. We lean into soothing tea rituals, talk about choosing decaf when your nerves are cooked, and pull crystal and tarot cards that land squarely on intuition, voice, and leading your own recovery. This isn’t performative self-care; it’s nervous system medicine you can feel in under a minute. If your holiday spirit is MIA, or if you’re working while everyone else celebrates, consider this your permission slip to pause, ask for help, and protect your peace. Take a breath, pick one regulating action, and start again with kindness. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a nurse who needs it, and leave a review to help more caregivers find a way back to themselves.Love your faces.

TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!This Thanksgiving episode is simple. It's my love letter to my nurses. MY 'patient population'. MY why. Not the kind people write on holiday cards. The kind nurses never get but always deserve.In this conversation, we step away from the noise and endless dumpster fires. We talk about what nurses actually carry. The invisible work. The emotional labor. The moments that never make the chart but stay with you long after the shift ends.We breathe together. We pause for moments that belong only to you. We name something to be proud of, no matter what it is, we're here for it.We talk about rest in ways that do not require money, PTO, or a miracle. We talk about how micro rests can calm a nervous system that has been working too hard for too long. We talk honestly about why none of this is weakness. It is survival.In Coffee, Crystals, and Divination we explore peppermint bark tea, Aqua Aura Quartz, Ocean Jasper, the Death card, and the Wheel of Fortune. Each one points to release, renewal, and the possibility of something gentler.This episode is my love letter to nurses. All nurses. The ones at the bedside. The ones in clinics. The ones in leadership. The ones who left to save themselves. The ones still trying to find their way back to themselves.If no one tells you thank you this week, I will. I see you. I honor you. I am grateful for you. Support the showHey!

TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!In this hauntingly beautiful finale to the Ritual Nurse spooky season specials, Riva explores the sacred and often unseen role nurses play as modern-day psychopomps, guides who walk with souls through the threshold between life and death.Drawing inspiration from Anubis, the jackal-headed guardian of the ancient Egyptian afterlife, this episode traces how the healers of the Houses of Life understood illness, dying, and care as sacred acts of transformation. Riva brings these ancient rituals forward into the present, showing how nurses today continue that lineage by holding presence at the bedside, bearing witness to suffering, and protecting the liminal space where science and spirit meet.Listeners will learn how the concept of liminality connects anthropology, nursing science, and spirituality; how research supports the power of consoling presence and modern rituals such as The Sacred Pause; and how reclaiming this identity as a guardian of the threshold can help nurses rediscover meaning and resilience in their work.The episode closes with Coffee, Crystals, and Divination, featuring Egyptian spiced coffee, the grounding protection of aragonite, and uplifting divination cards that reminds every nurse to trust their intuition and honor the mystery of their work.This one is personal, reverent, and deeply reflective. To be a nurse is to walk between worlds.Listen If You Have EverSat at a patient’s bedside during their final momentsFelt the weight and holiness of your workNeeded to reconnect with the reason you chose this professionWanted to blend spiritual reflection with clinical insightMentioned in This EpisodeBMJ Open and BMC Palliative Care research on nursing presence and liminalityThe ancient Houses of Life (Per-Ankh) of EgyptThe modern ritual of The Sacred PauseAnubis, Sekhmet, and symbolism that spans millenniaCoffee, Crystals, and DivinationCoffee: Egyptian Spiced Coffee (qahwa) Crystal: Black Obsidian for grounding, protection, and truth Tarot: The High Priestess for intuition, wisdom, and honoring the unknownThe Ritual Nurse Podcast — where science, spirit, and story meet to help nurses heal themselves first.Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you stream. Visit ritualnurse.com or bit.ly/RitualNurse for show notes, downloads, and free resources.

TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!This week, we’re taking a journey through time and trust me, it’s wilder than any Halloween story you’ve heard.Tarot didn’t begin in the dark corners of an occult bookstore or a dusty Romani caravan (yep, we’re busting that myth). It started in Renaissance Italy as a card game for nobles who probably had more coin than conscience. So how did those gilded game cards become the magical, psychological, and spiritual tool we use today?We’ll trace the transformation from the Visconti-Sforza decks and the Tarot de Marseille to Court de Gébelin’s “Book of Thoth” fantasy, through Eliphas Levi, the Golden Dawn, Pamela Colman Smith’s revolutionary artwork, and into modern tarot as a tool for reflection, ritual, and healing.I’m breaking down the history, the myths, and the moments where humanity turned art and archetype into alchemy. Whether you’re witchy, clinical, skeptical, or just tarot-curious, this episode reminds you that the magic isn’t in the cards — it’s in you.Listen if you want to learn:•The real, documented origins of tarot in Renaissance Italy•How myths of Egypt and “fortune-telling gypsies” shaped the story•Why the Golden Dawn and Pamela Colman Smith matter more than you think•How tarot evolved into a spiritual mirror for modern witches, pagans, and even therapistsIf you love Halloween, history, and a little magical realism with your caffeine, this one’s for you.Share this episode with your favorite tarot friend, your skeptical coworker, or anyone who loves a good story grounded in truth and mystery.And if you have thoughts, feedback, or a favorite tarot myth I missed, use the feedback link at the top of the show notes or email me directly.

TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!Happy October, fam!!! Spooky season is here (read my favoritest season besides summer), and so are some big firsts for The Ritual Nurse. This month we’ve got special off-schedule episodes dropping, TikTok Lives (Go follow @theritualnurse!!!) in the works (yes, with crystal pulls and live divination), and some major announcements that are going to shift how we do this together.But today? We’re talking survival. Nursing doesn’t hand out privacy breaks. You don’t get a quiet room to cry it out or a meditation cushion mid-shift. What you get is the med room, a hallway, or maybe two seconds at the scanner and meanwhile your body is betraying you with a racing heart, shaky hands, and a foggy brain.That’s why this episode is all about regulation in real time. Not the “self-care day” version, but the neurological reset that works in 30 seconds flat.What you’ll hear in this episode:Why nursing leaves you no space to process and what that does to your bodyA step-by-step guide to Code Blue to Code YouTwo add-on micro skills: B.O.D.Y. (your doorway reset) and HEART-REST (your deeper breakroom pause)The science of why regulation is not optional. It’s ethical survivalCoffee, Crystals & Divination: fall coffee rituals with cardamom, Black Tourmaline, and a divination pull that nailed the theme of regulation and resilienceOctober is going to be huge here at The Ritual Nurse. Don’t just listen! Join in. Hit that fan mail link in the show notes, tell me your spooky season rituals, and come hang out when we go live on TikTok.

How much power do they actually have? And how can nurses really get what they need in those conversations?In this episode of The Ritual Nurse Podcast, Riva sits down with her friend Brynnen, an HR professional who shares what it looks like from the other side of the door. Together, they break down myths, explore when to bring issues forward, and talk about how to navigate the power dynamics that can leave nurses feeling powerless. This episode is the real life highlights of how the skills in our last episode are so vital to protecting your peace and protecting your space. Brynnen is not only an experienced HR professional but also a BookTok and Bookstagram favorite, known for her thoughtful reviews and online presence at @librarybrynn. She is just beginning to bring her voice to TikTok, and this conversation shows exactly why her perspective resonates. She's real, honest, funny, and doesn't BS. This conversation goes deeper than policy. Brynnen brings honesty, humanity, and insight into how HR works, what nurses should know before filing a complaint, and how to walk into meetings with confidence and clarity. To close, she leads our Coffee, Crystals, and Divination segment with a live card pull, blending professional truth with ritual wisdom.If you have HR questions... go smash that fan mail link at the top of the show notes and send em in!!!

TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!Nursing culture has a dark side: bullying, incivility, and lateral violence. In this episode of The Ritual Nurse, Riva dives straight into the heart of toxic workplace culture and its devastating impact on nurses’ mental health, resilience, and retention. This conversation isn’t about “having thicker skin” It’s about calling out the mean girl culture that’s been allowed to fester for too long. WE'RE DONE.Riva introduces three powerful tools from the RISE curriculum that form the Culture Cure Toolkit:PEACE – a step-by-step communication skill for resolving conflict without escalating.CALM – a de-escalation skill to center yourself and move with intention.ROLE CLARITY – a grounding skill that anchors you back into your professional boundaries and keeps toxic systems from draining you dry.Together, these skills create armor, grounding, and a clear voice for nurses navigating hostile environments. Paired with evidence-based research, this episode dismantles toxic stereotypes and empowers nurses with practical strategies for survival and growth.In the Coffee, Crystals, & Divination segment, we explore fall rituals, savor black coffee simplicity, discover Garnet as the crystal of the week, and receive guidance from the Ace of Swords and the Lovers.This is your toolkit for saying goodbye to incivility and hello to thriving in your practice.

In this raw, powerful Season 2 premiere, she gets real about the moment everything changed: a workplace injury during a code blue in 2021 that forced her to face the trauma she'd been studying but ignoring in herself.This isn't just another "self-care" conversation. This is the birth of something revolutionary: the RISE Theory of Nursing. A trauma-informed, science-backed framework that's about to flip the script on how we think about nurse mental health. And yes, she literally reads you sections from the actual curriculum because she's THAT serious about this.What You'll Hear:The Origin Story (0:00-14:45) The pandemic code that broke everything open, the therapist she didn't want to see, and the moment Riva realized her doctoral research had her name written all over it. Plus, why Season 2 is called "RISE First" and what that means for nurses who've been last on every list for way too long.The Science Behind the Magic (14:45-22:00) Riva goes full professor mode (okay, the sassy version) and reads directly from the RISE curriculum. You'll learn about the four pillars (Resilience, Insight, Strength, Empowerment), the six skill-building categories, and why this isn't some fluffy wellness program but actual evidence-based intervention for nurse mental health.Dance Break Time (22:00-23:00) YOU KNOW IT Because your body isn't a machine and you don't need to earn rest. Shake it out for a minute.Your Nervous System Needs You (23:00-33:00) Ever finish a 12-hour shift and realize you didn't pee or breathe properly the entire time? That's your nervous system in survival mode. Riva breaks down why nurses live in "sympathetic override" and teaches you the B.O.D.Y. technique: a 30-second somatic skill you can use anywhere to come back home to yourself.Coffee, Crystals & Divination (33:00-37:00) The favorite segment returns with a special guest appearance by Mr. Ritual Nurse himself! This week's drink is a spiced mango sorbet situation that sounds absolutely divine, plus crystal prescriptions and card pulls to anchor your week.The Call to Action (37:00-39:00) This is just the beginning. Share this episode. Tag a nurse. Put it in a breakroom.

Each skill is recapped with clarity and purpose, reminding us how and why we use them.She also shares her personal story of how this work began during the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a front-line nurse, student, and researcher, Riva witnessed firsthand the mental health crisis unfolding among nurses and knew that something had to change. Her commitment to creating evidence-based, real, and ritual-infused healing practices is what built this podcast, and what will carry it forward.Plus, stay tuned for what’s coming in Season Two:New DBT-inspired skills and deeper trauma recovery workGuest episodes featuring nurses, therapists, and healersThe official launch of the R.I.S.E. curriculumExclusive access to The Ritual Nurse Collective for private community learningAll-new sticker merch and free gift offers for listener storiesThis isn’t just a podcast.

TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!The Four Agreements of Nursing — This week, Riva dives into a deceptively simple book with a surprisingly deep message for nurses everywhere: The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.But this isn’t a book club. It’s a reckoning.Because when nurses are expected to carry entire systems on their backs, absorb everyone’s trauma, and do it all with a charting pen in hand… how the hell do we stay whole?Turns out, The Four Agreements might be the answer.In this episode, we explore how each of the Four Agreements translates directly into the real-life mess and magic of nursing:What it really means to be impeccable with your practiceHow learning not to take things personally can save your sanity (and maybe your job)Why assumptions kill -  in life, and at the bedsideAnd how giving your sustainable best is a radical act of self-preservationRiva shares personal stories, hard-won wisdom, and a science-backed breakdown of why these principles aren’t just spiritual fluff they’re neuroprotective, trauma-informed, and resilience-building tools every nurse deserves.Then, in our Crystals, Coffee & Divination segment, you’ll get a sunkissed reminder of what ritual means and why we do this (along with a heartfelt plea for recipes for Mexican Coffee)(help your girl out!), a spot on pull for the week that's just so good, and a card pull for nurses who are done carrying what was never theirs.This episode is for every nurse who was trained to sacrifice and is now learning to survive.Listen in and start healing, one agreement at a time.Links + Resources:New to The Ritual Nurse?

TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!Ever felt like you're just done — with the shifts, the drama, the expectations, the trauma? Yeah, same. This week on The Ritual Nurse, we’re talking about real boundaries — not just the kind where you say no to picking up a shift, but the kind that protect your emotional, spiritual, and energetic capacity. Inspired by the new series The Pitt (which hit way too close to home), this episode gets honest about how even watching fictional portrayals of nursing trauma, or even just overextending ourselves on a daily basis, can push us past our limits.From emotional flashbacks to emergency chaos, and all the boundaries we never learned to set — we’re unpacking it all.Then, we lighten it up with some hilarious (and horrifying) stories from simulation (what do you MEAN "you have p3nis on your gloves?!") and my own new grad “what even is nursing?!” moments. Because let’s be real — we’ve all got those stories.Finally, we wrap with this week’s Crystals, Coffee, and Divination:Coffee: DIY Budget Affogato (yes, you can make it at home and keep it dairy-free!)Crystal: Amethyst – Lunar Insight (calm, intuition, spiritual wisdom)Tarot: The Devil – Labradorite (break the cycle, reclaim your power)Want to be part of the show?

TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!Pause, breathe, and step into the ancient forest where healers across time have gathered to witness, release, and renew.Healthcare providers know the weight of what they carry – the moments that linger too long, the emotions locked deep in the chest, the images that refuse to fade even after the shift ends. This guided meditation offers a sacred, intentional space for nurses, doctors, caregivers, and first responders to process what often goes unprocessed in the demanding world of healthcare. Through crystal medicine, box breathing, and a powerful visualization journey, I guide you to a stone circle where you can safely release doubt, sorrow, fear, confusion, regret, overwhelm, exhaustion, anger, and sadness. Watch as these burdens transform in ancient flames, making space for resilience and clarity to return. Meet the healers who have walked this path before you and encounter a personal guide who embodies your innate strength. This 20-minute meditation serves as both a debrief ritual and restoration practice. Many healthcare providers develop physical symptoms from carrying others' trauma alongside their own – this practice acknowledges that healing must happen in both body and spirit. The journey includes grounding techniques, meditation guidance, and integration support to help you process emotions safely and return to your work with renewed purpose.Your ability to care for others depends on how well you care for yourself. This meditation is an invitation to make that self-care a priority and a promise that you are never alone on this healer's path. Remember, you can return to this sacred circle anytime you need to release, restore, and reclaim your strength.Support the showHey! Make sure you subscribe to stay connected. Love a nurse?

Beginning with a simple 4-5-6 breathing pattern, you'll feel tension melting away as relaxation cascades from your crown to your toes, creating space for deeper peace.The heart of this meditation transports you to a mystical forest clearing where an ancient, magnificent tree awaits—a living metaphor for your own unwavering strength and resilience. As you connect with this tree, something magical happens: a unique symbolic object appears, offering personal insight and guidance. Many listeners report profound revelations from this object, which often symbolizes exactly what they need in their current life chapter.Through gentle affirmations like "I am in control of my breath, I am in control of my mind," you'll reinforce your inherent power to stand firm amid life's storms. This meditation doesn't just offer temporary relief; it provides a sacred inner space you can return to whenever you need grounding.The episode concludes with a crystal oracle reading featuring Flower Agate, encouraging self-growth and manifestation. "Time to grab life by the petals and manifest like a boss," as the oracle card suggests—perfect synchronicity with the meditation's themes of rooting down to rise up.Ready to discover what symbolic object awaits you in the forest clearing?

TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!Hey everyone, Riva here! In this second episode with my fellow nurse and friend Jamie, we dive headfirst into what it really takes to thrive in the nursing world—especially when you’re juggling nonstop pressures and a million demands on your time. We’re sharing real-time strategies you can put into action immediately, like talking through your tasks to stay grounded and combining visualization with deep breathing for a quick calm-down fix.We also dig into the art (and necessity) of delegation—because guess what? None of us are superheroes, and it’s high time we drop that myth. Knowing your personal limits isn’t weakness; it’s a legit superpower that keeps you and your patients safer. Plus, having a support system (whether they fully “get” your day-to-day or not) can be the difference between feeling totally alone and having that sense of belonging we all crave.Jamie and I also get real about reclaiming your identity outside of work. After all, you’re more than just your scrubs! We share personal stories about reintroducing lost hobbies and reconnecting with loved ones—basically, how to be a nurse without losing your entire self in the job. And of course, it wouldn’t be The Ritual Nurse without a little “Coffee, Crystals, and Divination.” We talk about embracing loss, finding resilience in unexpected places, and how spiritual insights can help keep you balanced.Tune in for an honest conversation filled with laughter, vulnerability, and practical nuggets for every stage of your nursing journey. Let’s keep each other standing strong—one shift (and maybe one crystal) at a time!Support the showHey! Make sure you subscribe to stay connected. Love a nurse? Who doesn't!

TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!Navigating the ever-changing landscape of healthcare during a global pandemic is no small feat, and few understand this better than our guest, Jamie, a dedicated nurse who has transitioned from a med-surg unit to the ICU in the midst of chaos. Her journey is a testament to resilience and adaptability, shedding light on the stark contrasts between pre- and post-pandemic nursing. Together, we explore the expectations placed on new graduates who joined the field during these tumultuous times and delve into the personal growth and self-compassion necessary to thrive amidst adversity. Jamie’s insights offer a compelling perspective on finding one’s footing in a rapidly evolving profession.Balancing the professional and personal aspects of nursing can be a delicate dance, often leading nurses to compartmentalize their lives in order to cope. We dive deep into the nuances of this disconnection, discussing the notion of “faking it till you make it” and the eventual need for authenticity in practice. Jamie shares her strategies for maintaining sanity, embracing self-awareness, and nurturing empathy, even when faced with difficult situations like addiction. This discussion underscores the importance of integrating mindfulness and self-care into nursing, reminding us that personal well-being is as crucial as professional competence.Maintaining mental health in the wake of secondary trauma is essential, and we explore practical self-care strategies that are both achievable and impactful.

Additionally, we discuss the powerful themes of patience and balance using oracle and tarot decks, illustrating how self-care and self-awareness can prevent emotional disconnection.
