Episode Synopsis

Todd is joined by Jessica, a nurse, and author of  “Sh*t They Don't Tell You in Nursing School”. Together, they dive into the raw, unspoken truths of nursing—the emotional weight that leaves so many healthcare professionals drained, traumatized, and under-supported. 

Jessica opens up about her 4-year writing journey, sharing insights from her book that chronicles the "trauma" that nearly took her down but ultimately fueled her mission to serve and support fellow nurses.

Todd and Jessica dissect the hidden struggles in the profession that few dare to talk about, including the unbalanced, one-sided perceptions that leave nurses feeling stuck in a victim mindset. They discuss the personal toll it takes, how trauma triggers go unnoticed by leadership, and what happens when nurses pour from an empty cup.

In this compelling conversation, they uncover strategies for learning new ways to cope, shifting from burnout to breakthrough, and leveraging personal gifts to heal and lead from within. Whether you’re a nurse, healthcare leader, or anyone feeling the weight of your calling, this episode offers real-world advice on turning pain into purpose.
