Most nurses are taught to endure burnout, not redesign their lives. Tasha Triana reveals how she went from postpartum bedside nursing to transformational coach, hypnotherapist, Reiki master, and future-self guide - and why the real pivot starts long before you hand in your resignation.Host Cecilia Amato and Tasha unpack the hidden identity patterns that keep high-achieving nurses trapped in overwork, people pleasing, and fear of disappointing others. If you have ever wondered whether your exhaustion is really a signal to change course, this conversation will hit home.You'll discover how Tasha used hypnosis, journaling, and future-self visualization to reprogram her subconscious and create a business that feels expansive instead of draining. She breaks down the mindset shifts behind leaving the hospital, the role of burnout as a wake-up call, and why learning to receive support, rest, and money can feel so uncomfortable at first.Cecilia and Tasha also get honest about the cultural conditioning baked into healthcare, from glorifying long shifts to confusing self-sacrifice with success. Tasha shares the specific boundaries that protected her energy, the morning rituals that regulate her nervous system, and the simple practice of asking, "What would my future self do?" before making big decisions.This episode is for nurses, healthcare workers, and high performers who know they are meant for more but haven't yet figured out how to trust the next step.
