The Identity Crisis of the People-Pleasing RN
Manage episode 485595674 series 1337765
In this episode, we’re diving into what happens when perfectionism collides with the messy, high-pressure reality of nursing. If you’ve ever felt like your entire identity is wrapped up in being the “good nurse” ... you know, the one who never messes up, never says no, and always holds it together, this conversation is for you.
We’ll talk about:
- How nursing school subtly wires us for people-pleasing
- Why high-pressure roles make us more vulnerable to shame
- Why self-compassion (not shame) is the key to confidence and performance
- What to do when you disappoint someone—and how to recover with integrity
