Lasting Media

Just a heads up, sometimes I use grown folks language.

Listener discretion is advised.

Welcome to Bad Decisions with Katie Duke, the only podcast that dives into raw and unfiltered conversations, the real shit that we all go through but never talk about. Now here's your host, Katie Duke.

All right, so ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, happy Tuesday.

We are live right now with a very, very special listener submission guest episode.

And you won't believe who I have on the other line.

It's Kelsey Rowell, aka Whole Life Nurse from Instagram,

aka the girl who decided to say, fuck you, toxic work environments.

I don't need you. And nobody needs to put up with this bullshit. decided to say, fuck you, toxic work environments.

I don't need you, and nobody needs to put up with this bullshit.

And if that intro hasn't hyped you up enough, let me just tell you the importance of this woman and her platform.

A, she has made bad decisions, and we're going to talk about those bad decisions during

this episode.

But more importantly, B, is Kelsey has started a movement normalizing the dialogue about why we should not put up with hostile work environments, why we should not tolerate toxic work environments, and why we should also not subject ourselves to working in areas that do not foster our growth and our balance of mental well-being and work-life health.

And I have been a longtime supporter of her. I have seen her grow her platform over many years,

and I have seen her really hone into something that she really truly uniquely does, and it brings

so much value to our health care community. And this is not just for nurses. This is anybody in

a toxic work environment. So another important thing that Kelsey

talks about is burnout. And if I could get that echoed like 56 times, burnout is incredibly

prevalent in our profession. So today, Kelsey is going to open up to us and talk to us about her bad decisions.

And we're going to talk about fucking burnout.
