Work Life Balance: From "Biggest Mistake of My Life" to "Best Fit of My Life”

Nearly half of healthcare workers reported feeling burned out and stated they would be looking for a new job, according to the CDC in 2022. If you're questioning whether you've chosen the wrong path and feeling the weight of burnout or doubt, you'll want to hear Kate's story.

A nurse passionate about advocating for her patients, found herself in this same predicament — burnt out and questioning if she'd made a mistake in choosing her path. Through a journey of self-discovery, Kate realized she didn’t need to abandon nursing, but instead redefined her role to fit her life and values. In this episode, we explore how Kate made her career work for her by prioritizing what mattered most, and how you can do the same—even when facing burnout.
