❓❓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!

In this episode we take a dive in the ways we can take back control of our healing and growth journey and empower ourselves to take those actions and begin to elevate our best self. It can be scary not knowing what to do next in our growth journey and can tend to want to take energy to put the blame on other people. I know I did. Once I realized that blaming the person for how my life was looking was no longer serving me, I decided to shift my mindset into one that took responsibility for my life and what I decided to do next. I took small steps that built into momentum and found myself living the life that I wanted and felt most aligned with myself!

Hi love! In this episode I want to share with you 4 easy tips that can help you own your morning routine. Before I became consistent with my routine I would wake up with really no intention set for the day. I then began experimenting with different things like waking up at 4 am and meditating in the morning. I soon came to realize that I did not have to follow this rigid routine that others said worked for them. Once I became aware of being able to personalize my morning routine, that is when consistency began. I hope this episode will show you what the different ways you can setup your routine and the 4 ways to really keeping that habit a consistent routine. I find it to be a form of self love for my mind and heart! Enjoy!

Hi friend! Welcome back to the podcast! In this episode I really wanted to bring some awareness to the different seasons of life that we all go through. We are all on this journey of life together but our paths will be different. Even though we might be on different paths in our lives from our friends and family, each path will experience the different seasons of life just like every tree experiences the different seasons of the year. I really want to shed light on being okay with where you are at on your journey and searching for the purpose and lessons along the way. Do we judge a tree that goes through the fall time and begins to shed its leaves? No! We find the fall foliage beautiful, as should we of our own lives! I hope you enjoy this episode, friend :)
