Lisa Sander

Some reason with families, we feel like we can say whatever we want and everything's going to be okay.

to kind of undo that but there's a lot of help like like you know reaching out to lisa and taking her coaching or there's you know so many things but do what you need to do for yourself absolutely kathy um i say you are not stuck you're simply pause um life will hit you jobs will drain you relationships will challenge you but you get to decide when you press play again right so your courage is the key your story is your fuel

Like people have always asked me, how have I done it this many years?

But honestly, I've been giving, I do massages all the time.

I get manicures, pedicures, I get facials.

I hang with, I have weekends with my girlfriends every once in a while.

I, that is one thing I have put aside.

I let my kids and my former husband know, like, I have to have my girl time to laugh and cry and show all the emotions.

Right.

And that is one thing, because especially in nursing, you are physically and mentally vulnerable.

drained because all the negativity comes in the hospital, all the negativity of the sickness.

And then people are vulnerable in the hospital and you will see all these different family dynamics.

So each room you go into is a new story and something that you soak in and take in.

And most medical people are empathetic people and don't have boundaries.

That's why we make really good nurses.

Because we're like, yes, we're at your beck and call.

We'll do everything you say.

And we kind of do that with our own families, too.

And that's one thing.

And I'm sure, Kathy, you felt this when you did make the change.
