The Balanced Nurse- Time Management, Productivity, Work Life Balance, Self-Care, Habits, Routines, Nurses
❓❓Are you a nurse or woman in healthcare giving 100% at the bedside and nothing left for yourself? Struggling to find the time for self care and create healthier habits? Do you wish you had more energy on your days off so that you can do the things that fuel you– like getting a quick sweat sesh in, spending time with friends & family, or working towards your own goals? I am so excited you’re here, friend! This podcast will help you… ✅manage your time so that you can create healthier habits & routines ✅make time for self care ✅have more energy & ✅balance your work life so you can achieve your personal, health & fitness goals! Hey girl, it’s Ashley! I’m an ER nurse (almost 10 years) now teaching nursing students👩🏻🏫, enneagram 9, & coffee lover! For most of my nursing career, I tried balancing my work life, making time to take care of myself, and create healthy habits by just winging it with no success. 🚫 I got caught up in the work hustle and signed up for all the overtime. I would overeat, snack on all the breakroom goodies, and over do it on energy drinks. (can we say SVT?) 🚫 I found myself mentally and physically exhausted when I got home. On my days off, I was too tired to workout, meditate, plan out my week, or even spend time with family. 🚫 I would find myself mindlessly scrolling on instagram on my days off with the infamous nurse bun still intact from the prior day’s 13 hour shift. 🚫 I didn’t know how to balance the stresses of being a nurse and living a fulfilling life beyond the bedside. It wasn’t until I left my 7 year relationship and turned the big 3-0 that I finally took a hard look at my life. I realized I had been putting my career and others needs before my own. I was not prioritizing the things that mattered most in my life. I told myself that if I wanted more energy, better habits, prioritize self-care, and work on my personal goals, I needed to learn how to better manage my time and set up my nursing career around my life– not the other way around! It was time to put myself first. And it’s time for you to do the same, friend! Because we can’t give to others what we don’t have. (Say it louder for the people in the back!!) Girl, I’m excited to share with you all the tips and strategies that have helped me find the time and balance in my life to achieve my personal, health, and fitness goals! Things like… 👉🏼Time blocking 👉🏼Prioritizing, setting boundaries, & 👉🏼Productivity hacks, habits, goal-setting, WHILE 👉🏼Also taking a holistic approach to your self-care (burnout isn’t cool anymore) and other areas of your life! If you are ready to stop scheduling your life around your stressful nursing job, find a simple way to make time to go after your biggest goals & live your best life… Then this podcast is for you! Grab your coffee or lemon water and let’s dig in! Follow me on IG for more BTS: @the.balancednurse

Remember that board that we stuck a bunch of pictures on with cute affirmations?! What's it called? Oh yeah, our vision boards.
Let's take time to connect with those goals we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year. It's okay if we have fallen off track. That is why we are here. We are showing up every week and figuring out this journey called life, TOGETHER.

Chelsi is a Reiki practitioner on a mission to help people truly heal so they can MANIFEST the life they know they DESERVE! She talks about how reiki can help shift any energetic blocks we may have and how it has helped with her journey after losing her dog and her grandad, who she says was the most important man in her life.
She actually started her career in law and was on the path to be becoming a lawyer but then life took her in a different direction. She’s now studying a masters in psychology and she has been able to bring that aspect into her spiritual work.
In this episode, Chelsi shares her personal story and talks about not putting off our healing process and instead feeling the emotions as they are happening! I know I can relate to this SO much from personal experience!

I think that it is so important to be really clear on our WHY when we start a new fitness routine, trying to eat better, read more books, or whatever habit or goal we are trying to accomplish. If the REASON isn't clear or strong enough then it won't be able to get you through those tough days that are inevitable. When the going gets tough and we feel down or discouraged....reminding yourself WHY you started can help pull you through and get you closer to the NEXT LEVEL YOU. So that WHY needs to be meaningful to you. It needs to be inspirational.

Hello my beautiful friend!!
In honor of V-day, I thought I'd talk about self-love.
Self-love and self-care have become big buzzwords! But what do they actually mean? It's not just about going to the spa and getting that AMAZING massage we deserve...don't get me wrong, that feels AMAZING! But to me self-love and self-care is so much more! In this episode I share with you 8 ways to show yourself love and which one really helped me throughout my healing journey and STILL continues to be something that really reminds it's okay to be where I am in this chapter in my life! I hope you enjoy!!
