Summary
Trigger Warning: death and serious illness. Healthcare workers are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic and the stories shared in this episode from an inside, firsthand perspective are heavy and potentially triggering.
Today’s episode is a guest episode with the mental health professionals of the ShrinkChicks podcast, Emmalee and Jen. We have a powerful conversation about my experience working on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis as a nurse. We discuss my firsthand experiences from a New York Hospital (right after a major break-up, mind you), my own severe case of COVID, how the work affected my mental health, burnout, and switching careers. I also share why I left the nursing profession all together, what I am doing now, and why part of my new mission is to help nurses find their passion.
