Hi Nurse friend, What if you made this the year of REST. What if you looked at the new year as an opportunity to come out of survival mode. Nursing trains us to survive. Push through. Power on. Handle it. Keep going. And while survival may get you through a shift, it is not meant to be your way of life. God did not create you to live in constant urgency. He created you for peace. Survival mode kee...

Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior!  Today we’re diving into a topic that comes up a lot in the holistic world—manifestation. You’ve probably heard it: “Your thoughts create your reality. Just visualize what you want and call it in.” And while there is truth to the power of our thoughts and words, here’s the danger: when manifestation is used to get what we want or chase our heart’s desires, it often...
