00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,900
Hi and welcome to another 
episode of the doctor nurse 

2
00:00:03,900 --> 00:00:05,600
podcast. 
I am so happy. 

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,200
You decided to join me today. 
My name is Sandra Penta, and I 

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,300
am the host of the podcast. 
I'm a doctoral you prepared 

5
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:15,900
nurse practitioner who wants to 
share stories of nurses and 

6
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:19,100
nurse practitioners who are 
utilizing their degrees and 

7
00:00:19,100 --> 00:00:23,000
their certifications with a 
business mindset, after spending

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,300
from age 18, to 30 pursuing 
various levels of nursing 

9
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:29,300
degrees. 
I wondered if there was 

10
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:32,100
something more or I could do 
with my knowledge away from the 

11
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:34,700
bedside and away from the 
hospital rat race. 

12
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:38,900
This question that I was asking 
of myself, I knew it had to be 

13
00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:40,900
shared with other nurses and 
nurse practitioners. 

14
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:44,900
So I sought to figure out, just 
what we could do with our 

15
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:48,600
education and our certifications
away from the bedside come, 

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,200
listen, as I have conversations 
to help you grow your career 

17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,800
with a freedom, in an Endless 
Options mindset. 

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,900
Thanks for hanging out with me 
on the podcast today and let's 

19
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:01,400
hear a word from my sponsor. 
There's hey guys. 

20
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,099
In the first sponsor of the 
doctors podcast, I'm going to 

21
00:01:04,099 --> 00:01:07,400
share with you today is called 
pick manik. 

22
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:11,200
It covers thousands of hard to 
learn facts and topics to help 

23
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,900
you master the material. 
That Healthcare students often 

24
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:17,600
struggle with to learn this 
study system, helps boost 

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,200
nursing and nurse practitioner 
students confidence in grades. 

26
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,400
Why does pick monic work years 
ago, psychologist and 

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,000
educational research, found my 
monix to Be an Effective tool 

28
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,800
and increasing retention and 
memory. 

29
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:33,400
Recall today. 
Lots of different strategies for

30
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,700
Learning and memorization use 
mnemonics using the idea of 

31
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:40,800
imagery monix and applying 
clever pictures and humorous. 

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,300
Characters tied together with 
story and audio and put online 

33
00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:49,000
create the ultimate study system
for retention and memory recall.

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,000
I've actually been using picnic 
daily for the past week and a 

35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,500
half because I've been wanting 
to up my learning just because 

36
00:01:56,500 --> 00:02:01,800
I'm no longer in school and 
having To take tests, I find 

37
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,900
that I want to close the gap on 
certain Concepts that I may not 

38
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:07,800
be familiar with. 
So I've actually been using it 

39
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,300
as a practicing nurse 
practitioner because I find that

40
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:15,200
it is nicer back to certain 
Concepts and certain things that

41
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,700
I'm a little bit, Rusty on, and 
refresh my memory. 

42
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:22,600
Use code doctor nurse for 20% 
off your subscription. 

43

Fantastic. 

44
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,000
If you're not in school, and you
just want a refresher that's 

45
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:31,500
kind of fun and you get to test 
Your knowledge, check out my 

46

name but I still I know, thank 
you. 

67
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:47,200
I am so bad though because I 
left all my socials with Machado

68
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,800
because I was like, oh No One's 
Gonna like figure out who I am. 

69
00:03:49,808 --> 00:03:53,700
Like it's too confusing for them
and then I just like three days

year of being married to

So it's Eva Schumann now. 

72
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,500
Okay, well, congrats Okay, well,

community, and give back 
efforts. 

77

She's just so passionate about 
how the pandemic affected nurses

78
00:04:19,899 --> 00:04:22,900
in our mindset. 
And she just wants to empower 

79
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:26,200
them and to send them off into 
the world better than how they 

80
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,500
came to her. 
So it's just a really sweet 

81
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:31,700
story and I I love one of her 
shirts which is the reason why I

82

Mrs. Schumann, get it right, 
thank you so much. 

90
00:04:53,900 --> 00:04:57,400
That was so sweet. 
So again for my listeners that 

91
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,600
are tuning in and they're like 
okay what's her deal? 

92
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,700
What's It's like I love for 
people to say who they are. 

93
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:05,500
Like how they see their roles 
and their job title. 

94
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:09,700
Yeah so I could go on for hours.
I feel like about who I am, I do

95
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:12,600
so much and I have so many 
different things going on but I 

96
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,500
have been a nurse for about five
years. 

97
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,300
My first year I was full time 
night shift. 

98
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,600
I then moved to New Jersey to be
with my now husband which we 

99
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,800
just discussed and when I did 
that I got kind of whatever job 

100
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,600
I could find because I really 
wanted to work at a specific 

101
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,700
hospital where I was going to 
have no commute because I was 

102
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:31,400
already prioritizing. 
Certain things and I was like, I

103
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,800
live in the same town as this 
hospital. 

104
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,700
I really want to work there and 
so ended up getting a per diem 

105
00:05:35,700 --> 00:05:38,800
role which I probably would have
wanted full time but I got a 

106
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,100
pretty enroll there and I still 
work there. 

107
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,300
Now I work in cardiology so we 
specialize in electrophysiology.

108
00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:47,700
It's a really thing rolled is 
because the hospital so 

109
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:50,900
specialized and it's awesome. 
I love it but during that 

110
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:54,500
journey I learned that I 
absolutely love being pregame 

111
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:57,200
I'm a huge advocate for it. 
I talk about it all the time at 

112
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,900
all my pages. 
Why it's so great. 

113
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,900
I work full time out. 
Isn't that role for years. 

114
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,400
And then when I started my 
business, a couple of years ago,

115
00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:06,700
which we actually hit three 
years in business, that's 

116
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:09,200
mind-blowing to me. 
But as I transitioned into, 

117
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,200
okay, what do I want to do 
Beyond working at the bedside? 

118
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,100
I want to add something in, but 
what is it? 

119
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,100
And as I found my business which
is now purpose people and I can 

120
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:20,400
call it that and it's great. 
But in the time where I was 

121
00:06:20,407 --> 00:06:23,200
trying to figure out what I 
wanted to do, it got really 

122
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,400
confusing and I started to try 
on our different things and then

123
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,700
I landed on this business, which
you see today, which is so fun. 

124
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,000
And exciting. 
And that's what I do. 

125
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,400
Now, most of the time and then I
also have my per diem role in 

126
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,900
nursing. 
So today, what I do is on 

127
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:40,800
purpose people. 
It's interesting Lifestyle brand

128
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,000
and I'm super passionate about 
that, but then I also do nursing

129
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,800
as well. 
So I get the best of both 

130
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,500
worlds. 
I think that's so great. 

131
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:49,400
And again, that's another thing 
I talked about here on the 

132
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,700
podcast and that's why again you
and I, when we were first kind 

133
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:55,500
of chatting we'd so aligned 
because I do feel like being in 

134
00:06:55,500 --> 00:06:59,700
that part time per diem does 
allow space. 

135
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:03,700
And what I call margins for you 
to start to dream and to create 

136
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:06,000
and to see what your soul is 
saying. 

137
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,300
Like, you were meant to do this 
and you were meant to create 

138
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:11,500
this. 
And so by eating that space 

139
00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:13,700
again it took you awhile, you 
planted the seed. 

140
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:15,100
You were like, okay, so what do 
I want to do? 

141
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:17,600
I think you started off with 
like four mugs or something like

142
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,200
that when I was reading your 
story and then you built up to 

143
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,800
where you are today. 
So again those little four 

144
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,200
seeds, you planted you watered 
them, you grew them, your 

145
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,700
fertilize them and you still 
kept doing your other side 

146
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:31,900
hustle and again, you work. 
Differently when you know, hey 

147
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:34,700
man, I got this thing on the 
side that might build into 

148
00:07:34,700 --> 00:07:38,200
something that I can use. 
I just think that's just so 

149
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,700
enriching for nurses to hear 
that they have opportunities. 

150
00:07:41,900 --> 00:07:44,600
You know, again to kind of step 
back for the bed. 

151
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,700
So I still make decent money and
even working part time maybe 

152
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:50,500
adjust their lifestyle a little 
bit and give space to dream. 

153
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,800
So I think that's awesome 
thousand percent. 

154
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,000
I mean, even in the beginning, 
when I was in that nurture 

155
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,400
phase, I was working full-time 
hours and this is when covid 

156
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,100
first hit to, I was working in 
the Hammock full-time hours of 

157
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:05,300
nurse and I was just so 
passionate about purpose people.

158
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:08,500
I was just able to do both. 
I knew it was in the nurturing 

159
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:10,700
phase where I couldn't just be 
like Oh I'm gonna make money off

160
00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:14,200
this right now and decrease me. 
I was in nursing it took a long 

161
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,700
time of me doing both but it was
easy to do both because I was so

162
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:20,700
passionate and you're right. 
It completely changed my mindset

163
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:24,500
about my bedside roll. 
I just didn't put all my eggs in

164
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:25,800
one basket. 
Even though that was where all 

165
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,000
my money was coming. 
I sure had this like, multi 

166
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,500
passionate as Aspect to my life 
that made me able to live in my 

167
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:34,100
purpose. 
A lot easier and be more 

168
00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:36,799
fulfilled than what I did. 
So that's completely right. 

169
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,900
Every single nurse that comes on
here, says that same thing gave 

170
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:42,200
myself some space. 
I gave myself a little bit of 

171
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,800
margin. 
I let myself dream and again you

172
00:08:44,808 --> 00:08:46,700
know, even if it's just I took 
two weeks off. 

173
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:48,000
I mean that's how it started 
from Wonder. 

174
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,100
She just took two weeks off. 
She was like, I hate space, two 

175
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:53,300
weeks, like let me see what I 
can do and then she just again. 

176
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:55,900
Just got quiet and just figured 
out what came to the search. 

177
00:08:55,900 --> 00:08:58,800
What was coming up, what? 
And again, just asking yourself 

178
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,200
that question that check In with
yourself to see what it is that 

179
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,900
you were meant to do. 
Because again, bedside work is 

180
00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:08,400
so important and so it's 
important for society. 

181
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,400
We need nurses, right? 
There's nothing. 

182
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,700
Wrong with staying at the 
bedside, but I think what's 

183
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:15,900
happening is that we think that 
that's all we can do is just be 

184
00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:18,100
at the bedside. 
That's the only option you've 

185
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:21,700
got go to you burn out and I 
don't think it's sustainable and

186
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:24,500
that's the part that I love 
about your brand and what you 

187
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:27,700
talked about so much. 
So what is the hardest part of 

188
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:30,100
owning your own business? 
When did Did you? 

189
00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:32,000
I think that's the first 
question that I want to hear 

190
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,900
about when you decided to go 
ahead and grease those hours at 

191
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:37,600
work and to really focus more on
building your business. 

192
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,200
I think, starting from the 
ground up, the hardest part was 

193
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,900
believing in myself, in the 
mindset of I know I want to do 

194
00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:47,900
something and it's okay. 
If it doesn't work out, it's 

195
00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:51,200
okay. 
If what I try, is it, so leading

196
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,400
up to what I have today, which 
everyone sees me like, oh, 

197
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,900
that's so great. 
That would be nice if I could do

198
00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:55,100
that. 
Right? 

199
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:58,200
But before that, it's like you 
said, I traveled an arid. 

200
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,200
I gave myself space and I Had a 
bunch of different things that 

201
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,600
just did, they weren't it. 
And when I realized that they 

202
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,500
weren't it, I was okay with it 
and I just tried something else.

203
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:10,400
And so that was really hard to 
believe in yourself. 

204
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,000
Like, okay, I guess this isn't 
it. 

205
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:13,600
Let me, I guess I'll try 
something else. 

206
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,500
Instead of just sticking with 
the one thing that you first 

207
00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:17,500
thought that you wanted to do 
and then just going with that 

208
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:23,500
forever, I had a book club that 
I started and it was a mindset 

209
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:25,800
book club and I did that and 
then I did a round of it. 

210
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,500
I was like, I don't know why, 
I'm just not feeling it. 

211
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,600
I don't know if it's that, I 
don't want. 

212
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,000
Mentoring people, is it this is 
it that picking it apart, then 

213
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,200
another round of it, and then 
after that, I was like, I just 

214
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,000
have to let it go. 
And just know that I'm starting 

215
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,300
from scratch again with 
something else, but I know I 

216
00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:42,100
like nursing. 
So I would pick apart the parts 

217
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:44,500
of things that I liked. 
I didn't like and take that with

218
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:47,600
me and go to the next thing. 
And then you like, you said, so,

219
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,200
kind of the story of I started 
with six mugs. 

220
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,500
I was like, let me play around 
with product, gotta look a 

221
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:56,600
mentor who just taught me the 
basics, like, very, very basic 

222
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,300
on how to do product and the 
Launched it. 

223
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:02,100
I knew right away that it was 
it. 

224
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:05,100
And so getting to that point was
really hard getting to the point

225
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:07,800
of like, okay, I know I want 
something more about what is it?

226
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,300
And I just want it given to me. 
Now I want my purpose given to 

227
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:11,900
me now. 
And so that was really 

228
00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:14,000
challenging the beginning. 
Once I got to the point of 

229
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,600
finding what it was, it's been 
so easy. 

230
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,400
I mean, not so easy. 
I shouldn't be tradition lie. 

231
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,000
Yeah, sounds along the way. 
Yeah, it felt so good. 

232
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,800
When I landed on what I knew I 
wanted to do for sure. 

233
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,400
Yeah the work is different, 
right? 

234
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,600
Like York with a different. 
There's work that inspires you 

235
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,500
and Then work that drains you 
and I think that's the problem 

236
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:35,700
sometimes with nursing is that 
initially, it's work, that's 

237
00:11:35,700 --> 00:11:40,000
inspiring, but the system is set
up to absolutely drain you and 

238
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,100
tank and just completely empty 
your tank. 

239
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:45,600
And so, what I want for more 
nurses to here is kind of like 

240
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,900
what you were saying. 
So find the work that also makes

241
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:51,900
you feel like it's not work. 
Even though it is work, we're 

242
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:54,300
made to work as creatures as 
humans. 

243
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,300
I believe that we need work. 
We need purpose, time, and time 

244
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:00,000
again. 
As I work with the Really 

245
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,100
population. 
I see stories of they stop 

246
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:05,800
working and then they die. 
It's like you kind of need like 

247
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,600
some type of purpose, right? 
And I'm not saying it's 100% all

248
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,000
the way that always that way. 
If you pick up a hobby you know 

249
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,600
you might be able to stay off 
some of it but I have nothing 

250
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,800
this like as soon as I stopped 
working it's like the body's 

251
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,500
just got like a really cool. 
I just go to sleep, you know, 

252
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:21,500
and so it's something that we 
need to be doing but it doesn't 

253
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:24,200
need to be a work that 
completely changed your life 

254
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,500
Source, your energy. 
How you feel about yourself? 

255
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:29,600
So finding work gives life to 
the bones, I think. 

256
00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:32,200
Is so cool. 
So when did you decide to go 

257
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,000
ahead and decrease those hours 
and to go ahead and say the 

258
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,900
business needs more my time and 
attention. 

259
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,500
I got to stuff away from bed. 
So okay, so I started my 

260
00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:42,000
business at the end of 2019, pre
covid. 

261
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,400
That's when I launched those six
mugs and I launched my first 

262
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,300
little apparel line of three 
thing before covid and then 

263
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:49,600
covid him, I grew my business, a
lot during covid. 

264
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,400
I learned a lot but I was still 
working full-time. 

265
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,000
So as you can imagine, that was 
very draining and just but it 

266
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,100
was, it was draining. 
But it wasn't because I didn't 

267
00:12:58,100 --> 00:13:00,000
have all my other outside life. 
Right? 

268
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
We weren't hanging out with 
family, were hanging out with 

269
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,900
friends, so I had time to do 
both and so it actually kept me 

270
00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:09,300
busy in a way as well. 
And then 2021 was when I 

271
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:11,700
realized I needed to decrease my
hours because the business 

272
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:14,000
started doing well. 
That was the year I got married 

273
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,500
as, you know, know and so I was 
planning the wedding what some 

274
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:20,000
whole time and having all these 
outside commitments come back 

275
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,700
into my life because things 
started to settle down and we 

276
00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:25,800
were starting to transition back
to our old lifestyle a little 

277
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,400
bit and that is when not the 
burnout. 

278
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,300
But When it just became really 
clear to me that I needed to 

279
00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:36,100
step back from something, 
something had to give because I 

280
00:13:36,108 --> 00:13:38,500
got married. 
When I my honeymoon, it's crazy,

281
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:41,200
the amount of stuff I was doing,
but I got back in holiday season

282
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,700
is really busy when you have a 
product-based business because 

283
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:47,600
of gifts for Christmas and I had
a video go viral and early 

284
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,300
December and I had ships at work
that I was supposed to be at and

285
00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:54,300
things went viral, and I had 
hundreds and hundreds of orders 

286
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:58,300
to do, and I just was like, if I
could choose right now, I would 

287
00:13:58,300 --> 00:14:01,000
so much rather be doing these. 
Visibly excited about this. 

288
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,600
That was my breaking point. 
Where I was do I call it a work 

289
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,900
like do I stay up? 
24 hours. 

290
00:14:04,900 --> 00:14:07,800
What am I going to do? 
And I was in a full panic and 

291
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,000
then I was like, this is the 
point where something has to 

292
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,700
give. 
And so my commitment going to 

293
00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:15,500
2022 was to use all the money 
that I had reinvested in saved 

294
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:17,600
in the business. 
And never spent a dime of just 

295
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,300
because I was like, like I said,
before knew, I needed to nurture

296
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:21,800
it. 
So I kind of want to saving all 

297
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,400
that money in my business 
account, and I was like, okay, 

298
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,700
yeah, 20:22 my commitment to 
myself. 

299
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:29,100
Is that I'm going to work? 
My minimum requirement as a per 

300
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:30,000
diem nurse. 
Nurse. 

301
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,400
And then I'm going to do my 
business all the other time and 

302
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,300
see what I can do. 
And so that's what I've done all

303
00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:37,400
year, so far. 
And that's been very 

304
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,600
overwhelming and just feeling a 
lot of pressure to make the 

305
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,300
business do well. 
But it's what I want to be doing

306
00:14:42,300 --> 00:14:46,100
and I felt so good this year. 
I haven't felt burnt out at all.

307
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,400
It's so nice. 
And I tell people, too. 

308
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,900
It's kind of like you were 
saying before if what you're 

309
00:14:50,900 --> 00:14:53,300
inspired to do is something 
that's not nursing, it's okay. 

310
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:56,300
To say, I love being a nurse, I 
just don't love, being a nurse 

311
00:14:56,300 --> 00:14:59,100
full-time, and that's my little 
model that I go by is, I'm like,

312
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:00,500
it's not that Like being a 
nurse. 

313
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:04,000
It's that I like this more and I
don't like being a nurse 

314
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,300
full-time. 
I like being able to go one 

315
00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:09,700
12-hour shift, we get the 
bedside and just be lit up and 

316
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:13,400
be like energetic and running 
around the unit and just like 

317
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,600
having a great time that tations
the not be back for a week. 

318
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,600
And I love that because when I 
go home, I have this other 

319
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:19,600
thing, I'm really passionate 
about. 

320
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,400
And so that's kind of when I 
decided to take that shift was 

321
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,600
when it really just became too 
much to handle on. 

322
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:27,600
When I hear nurses talk about 
different aspects of 

323
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,600
understanding business, right. 
We have a really my Optic View 

324
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:33,700
of what nurses can do from a 
business perspective. 

325
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,000
And again, we just get taught. 
Like, once you get out of 

326
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,900
school, go right to the bedside.
That's what your take. 

327
00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:40,700
Whatever job the hospital offers
you. 

328
00:15:40,900 --> 00:15:44,400
The hospital is your employer. 
You are their slave. 

329
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,400
So, just whatever they give, you
be thankful, you have a job. 

330
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,800
And I just something about that,
just rubs me wrong on every 

331
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,700
aspect that. 
So, I'm like, I think we need to

332
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:58,200
understand Better Business, how 
to Market ourselves, and what 

333
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,700
we're doing. 
So what are some The aspect of 

334
00:16:00,700 --> 00:16:04,500
business that have been the 
easiest and then also cross it 

335
00:16:04,500 --> 00:16:07,900
with the most difficult that 
you've had to really invest in 

336
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:09,800
yourself, I really had to learn 
this. 

337
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,800
And then the stuff that her 
nursing skills, made it really 

338
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,500
easy for you to just transition.
Yeah. 

339
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:16,400
So let me just start by saying 
that not having a business 

340
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,800
background, has been the most 
empowering part of my journey 

341
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,700
because when you're starting a 
business, it's so scary. 

342
00:16:21,700 --> 00:16:24,100
You're so vulnerable. 
Like, you're just so scared to 

343
00:16:24,108 --> 00:16:26,600
screw it up and not having a 
business background. 

344
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,000
And knowing I went to school to 
be a nurse, not a business 

345
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,700
owner. 
Has been so empowering because 

346
00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:34,300
I'm like oh guess what? 
I get to screw up all the time 

347
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,000
and it's totally fine because 
I'm not supposed to know this. 

348
00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:40,300
And so, it's a lie. 
It was actually way better than 

349
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:42,800
like being a new grad nurse. 
When you're like I'm supposed to

350
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,100
know this man. 
I'm supposed to know, they're 

351
00:16:44,100 --> 00:16:48,100
supposed to know that, and you 
can talk yourself crazy, right? 

352
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:50,800
Whereas I went into this and I 
was like, oh girl, I'm the 

353
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,300
messing up left and right and it
doesn't matter because I'm not 

354
00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:55,300
supposed to know. 
And so I gave myself a lot of 

355
00:16:55,300 --> 00:16:58,600
Grace using that mindset, which 
I think made things a lot easier

356
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,900
for me. 
I think So yeah, I think a lot 

357
00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:02,800
of nurses need to hear that 
because that is so good. 

358
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,300
Right. 
But one of the hardest things, 

359
00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:07,099
for me, I think was just a my 
perfectionism and the passion I 

360
00:17:07,099 --> 00:17:10,700
had because I wanted it to be 
what I wanted it to be and so 

361
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:12,900
things that I'm getting upset 
about in the beginning, I'm 

362
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:15,400
still so embarrassed one time, 
someone got the wrong order, 

363
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,000
right? 
Like human error like we switch 

364
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,099
the packages, they went to the 
wrong people, or someone got the

365
00:17:19,108 --> 00:17:20,900
wrong size and something, right?
Like they were supposed to get a

366
00:17:20,908 --> 00:17:23,400
large but we pulled the medium. 
Something, the medium, the email

367
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,599
Us. 
Customer service, right? 

368
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:25,599
Hey. 
Got the wrong thing. 

369
00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:29,300
I was in hysterics. 
Bawling my eyes out because I 

370
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:30,800
was Just wanting it to be 
perfect. 

371
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,800
And I'm like, this is my baby. 
It's so fragile. 

372
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,600
If we start screwing things up, 
I was just a mess. 

373
00:17:35,700 --> 00:17:38,300
And so it took a long time for 
me to get over. 

374
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:41,800
Those humps of when things got 
went wrong, I would use that 

375
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,400
mindset. 
Like I said, I like it's okay, 

376
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:44,900
it's okay. 
But when it was something that I

377
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:47,800
felt, I was supposed, that's 
just something that you just pay

378
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,600
attention, Eva, come on. 
I would really put myself down 

379
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,600
about and so that was really 
hard to me. 

380
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,500
Thank God for my husband because
he's super helpful and he's just

381
00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:58,800
like, you need to relax. 
But I think my perfectionism the

382
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,000
other total Husband and them 
together one. 

383
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:06,600
That's like, I bet you got a 
just like, it's all going to be.

384
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,200
Okay. 
Yeah, let's just have some fun 

385
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,700
while we do it. 
No Perry. 

386
00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:10,700
Says have fun with. 
It's not. 

387
00:18:10,700 --> 00:18:14,500
Perfect. 
So bad, so bad. 

388
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,900
So funny, we went on this 
vacation, I'm so type. 

389
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:20,800
A, my brother at some point was 
like he's like okay so you've 

390
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,700
literally booked every minute of
this trip. 

391
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,900
Is there time. 
Calculated time for rest? 

392
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:27,000
I was like, yes, you get five 
minutes and then we're back on 

393
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,800
schedule. 
It's just exhausting thing. 

394
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,500
He talks about all the Time now 
is like your calculated time for

395
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:35,500
rest and so the schedule. 
Yeah, we found our we've had our

396
00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:37,500
match is the most difficult part
for me. 

397
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,800
So just that perfectionism, just
really, really the passion that 

398
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,700
I had behind it. 
Kind of caused it to be 

399
00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:46,900
difficult for me because I want 
it to be perfect. 

400
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:50,200
I wanted it to do well. 
And so that was good because I 

401
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,800
had a lot of work ethic and I 
was hard working in building it 

402
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:56,700
but also just really hard on 
myself in the beginning, in some

403
00:18:56,700 --> 00:18:59,000
ways as well. 
But the easiest part for me was 

404
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,100
just The alignment I think once 
I realized that it was what I 

405
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:04,200
wanted to do, kind of as I 
shared before getting to the 

406
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,600
point of learning that. 
Okay. 

407
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,500
This is it for me. 
Our this is what I really like 

408
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,000
you can go so much further so 
much faster when you're aligned 

409
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,800
with what you're doing and 
you're doing the right thing and

410
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,500
that's a bedside scale to if 
you're even working in the wrong

411
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:20,200
specialty like it's going to be 
so much harder for you to love 

412
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,400
what you do, right? 
And so it was easy for me to 

413
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,500
mark it, I love marketing and so
it was fun for me to grow a 

414
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:29,400
social media brand and do that 
side of it. 

415
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,500
And I thought that came really 
naturally to me as well. 

416
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:33,600
So for the social media 
marketing, which is something 

417
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,000
that a girlfriend and I we were 
just talking we're like, this is

418
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,100
literally so exhausting, how do 
you keep going? 

419
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:43,000
Because it is, it is like a, 
it's some people full-time jobs.

420
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,700
Like that's what they do, they 
just help you do social media 

421
00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:47,900
marketing. 
How did you keep yourself going 

422
00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:49,800
at the times. 
You're just like, I cannot post 

423
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,900
another thing. 
I get like maybe it's an elder 

424
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:53,200
Millennial thing. 
I just get. 

425
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,200
So posting fatigue. 
I'm like I just can't put more 

426
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,700
stuff out there even though I 
make myself do it. 

427
00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:00,100
That's kind. 
How I feel. 

428
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:02,900
Like, how do you overcome that? 
I have always been someone 

429
00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:07,500
creates way more than I consume.
I used to never consume or 

430
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:10,800
create I just was like I hate 
social media, it's so stupid and

431
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,200
then as I started a brand, I was
like, okay, obviously I'm going 

432
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,400
to need to be on these apps and 
I started creating green. 

433
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,300
Creating hey, guys, and thanks 
for listening to another episode

434
00:20:21,300 --> 00:20:23,500
that doctor nurse podcast. 
Unscripted. 

435
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:25,600
I would like to take this time 
to let you guys know about the 

436
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,000
doctor nurse podcast. 
Website on this website, I have 

437
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,900
free. 
Resources for nurses that are 

438
00:20:30,900 --> 00:20:33,400
looking to up their career, 
maybe start a side hustle. 

439
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,800
I also have my Etsy shop where 
I've created really cute digital

440
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,100
downloads for nurse 
practitioners in regards to 

441
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:45,900
life, pregnancy planning, as 
well as portraits guys. 

442
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:50,800
Check out my resources at the 
doctor's podcast.com and let's 

443
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,800
get back to the episode and I 
really still to this day, do not

444
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,800
consume much. 
I think consuming too much 

445
00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:58,300
contributes that burn. 
I think it's 50% of it is 

446
00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:00,600
because then you're like, look, 
And then you're in your head and

447
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,400
then we go to create your like, 
well, this person did it this 

448
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,500
way and it gets to be too much. 
It's too much stress and so I'm 

449
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:09,300
a fan of. 
Yes, you have to be relevant and

450
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:11,600
what are the trends right now? 
You have to be on social, right?

451
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,700
And consume some but I think I 
try to limit the consumption and

452
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:17,700
then I run three accounts right 
now. 

453
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:20,000
It is a lot. 
I totally get and I don't think 

454
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,500
that it's an elderly, anything 
like you said, I think it's just

455
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:24,200
a thing. 
When you have to create 

456
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,200
constantly, it's a lot and I 
think using one of my first 

457
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,600
Mentor I ever had taught me this
if you're not in the mood, it's 

458
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,400
okay. 
But when you are in the mood 

459
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:38,200
lean in really hard. 
So yeah so yeah you're waking up

460
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,500
and you thought you were going 
to do XYZ today but if you're in

461
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:43,700
the mood to do something else 
except that and do it in a 

462
00:21:43,700 --> 00:21:46,500
really hard with the you feel 
good about that day and that 

463
00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:48,200
helps a lot. 
Yeah, that's really good. 

464
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,800
Some things as well which helps 
but part of it too. 

465
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,700
I think is the the passion and 
also viewing my aunt as my 

466
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:57,300
community. 
So instead of it being like Oh I

467
00:21:57,300 --> 00:22:00,300
have to post it so I have to 
Irvin show up. 

468
00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:03,000
And so then that let like 
changing lens helps a little bit

469
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,400
too. 
I mean, it doesn't fix it 

470
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,100
because it is still an action. 
You have to complete, but I 

471
00:22:07,108 --> 00:22:09,100
think when you're trying to view
it as a well these people need 

472
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:11,300
me or they're relying on me to 
show up for them because I've 

473
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:13,600
cultivated this community and 
it's really important to me that

474
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,500
can help as well. 
I mean, like I said, doesn't fix

475
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:16,800
everything but that help. 
Yeah. 

476
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,400
Okay, yeah. 
Mindset shift, right? 

477
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,500
Like, that's what you're talking
about is just like putting it 

478
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:22,600
putting a different lens on it 
because sometimes again, you 

479
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,600
just look at it through the lens
of like this is really daunting 

480
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,000
and exhausting, but if you're 
like know, how can I show up 

481
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,600
today? 
How can I be present today? 

482
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,600
My community needs, Me to post 
something and to encourage them 

483
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,200
and to stand there and the Gap. 
And you know, say something that

484
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,400
maybe somebody else wouldn't say
or share something that they all

485
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,900
need to hear again you, right? 
It's that same Act of service 

486
00:22:40,900 --> 00:22:43,100
that you do through your 
products, through your 

487
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:45,800
merchandise, through your 
community efforts, I saw that 

488
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,800
you went on to the hospitals and
you wouldn't took care packages 

489
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,000
to the nurses. 
And you were just, you just put 

490
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,600
a bunch of stuff in a little 
bag. 

491
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,400
And you're like, even if one 
hits one thing brings Joy, 

492
00:22:56,500 --> 00:22:58,200
that's all I wanted that package
to do. 

493
00:22:58,300 --> 00:22:59,400
You put a bunch of stuff in 
there? 

494
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,100
You're like I'm okay if just one
thing, totally makes it and 

495
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:06,700
lands on a fertile ground that 
creates a seed that Sparks like 

496
00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:08,800
that brings joy. 
And so when you think about it 

497
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,200
again through that lens just 
switch out that other lens, put 

498
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,200
the other one in and fixate on 
that. 

499
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,000
I'm not saying you're still not 
going to have that feeling. 

500
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
That feeling is still there. 
Your emotions are real, they're 

501
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,800
there. 
But you just got to talk 

502
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,500
yourself into a different 
mindset. 

503
00:23:21,500 --> 00:23:23,600
I think that's really good. 
And you've mentioned something 

504
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:25,900
before before I get to the next 
question. 

505
00:23:25,900 --> 00:23:27,900
But I really want to kind of 
harp on this because you said 

506
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:31,300
something about mentorship twice
now, Now, and I really liked us,

507
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:34,500
focus in on that because mentors
I feel like our little bit 

508
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,700
lacking in there saying 
especially when you're in the 

509
00:23:36,700 --> 00:23:38,100
hospital. 
I just kind of feel like you're 

510
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:41,100
a lone wolf and you're just kind
of hustling. 

511
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:43,400
And you really hope that your 
team members helped you on the 

512
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,000
floor and different things like 
that. 

513
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:48,000
But especially with the nurse 
eat their young mentality that 

514
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,500
we've had, tell me a little bit 
about mentors that you've had 

515
00:23:50,500 --> 00:23:52,800
and really how they've helped 
shape you and your career. 

516
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,200
I completely agree with what you
said. 

517
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,100
I don't think I've had many 
nursing mentors in the field of 

518
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:00,600
Nursing in general. 
Can't think back as like, oh, 

519
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,300
when I was a new grad, this 
person really took me under 

520
00:24:03,300 --> 00:24:05,600
their wing. 
I think in my new role there's 

521
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,700
definitely in her second think 
of that do that for our new 

522
00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:10,400
grads now, but I wasn't a new 
grad when I came into this role.

523
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:13,200
So I do think it is really 
challenging in the nursing space

524
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,400
in business. 
I sought them out because I 

525
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,500
really needed it. 
And like I said, I knew I didn't

526
00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:19,800
have any business background so 
I was like, if I'm not getting 

527
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,200
help, I'm never gonna get there.
I need somebody to help me and 

528
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,500
teach me and so I had a few 
different mentoring experiences.

529
00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:30,900
One of them was like a 
mastermind So there is Q&A calls

530
00:24:30,900 --> 00:24:33,500
you do have access to their 
mentorship but there's also free

531
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:37,000
resources and videos and events 
almost that you go to online 

532
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,000
virtual events. 
And that one was really helpful 

533
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,900
because I got community of other
business owners who then helped 

534
00:24:41,900 --> 00:24:43,800
me as well. 
So that was just really 

535
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,500
interesting in a cool way to do 
it. 

536
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,700
And I got some of my biggest 
questions answered through that 

537
00:24:47,700 --> 00:24:51,700
experience, but just starting 
out off the bat, I had a mentor 

538
00:24:51,900 --> 00:24:55,700
and I think a lot of people have
the mindset that mentoring has 

539
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:58,700
to be so expensive and I got my 
first Mentor for. 

540
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,100
I think it was $150 total and I 
got five or six calls with her. 

541
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,900
And she taught me exactly how I 
was going to go to a wholesaler 

542
00:25:07,900 --> 00:25:10,000
and get a product. 
And who would I have to call to 

543
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,600
get it printed for me? 
And then how would I get it 

544
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,300
shipped? 
And what website do I need to 

545
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:16,500
use for that? 
And it was a granular stuff that

546
00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:19,300
I just did not know that I 
needed to know and it was well 

547
00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:21,400
worth the money and it was not, 
I don't view that as very 

548
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,800
expensive for that many calls 
and one-on-one time with some 

549
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,200
yeah, no, it's not. 
So yeah, that experience is what

550
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,300
really launched me to even be 
able to do what I do. 

551
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:31,200
Do. 
And so I think it's crazy to 

552
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,000
think nurses don't have that 
because when I say oh that was 

553
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,200
so critical to my journey, 
imagine being a new nurse, 

554
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,500
especially in today's world and 
not having that. 

555
00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:41,500
And so I think it's a matter of 
burnout too though because who 

556
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:45,000
wants to step up and not be paid
to be a leader and take everyone

557
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,500
under their wing and make sure 
that they're nurtured. 

558
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:50,500
And yes, there are great Souls. 
Yes, you do that. 

559
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:53,100
But it's few and far between 
because they're not being 

560
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:54,400
compensated, they're burnt out 
already. 

561
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,800
They're already being asked to 
do so much and so it comes back 

562
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,300
to the same issue of just the 
Healthcare System. 

563
00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:02,600
Now in general so it's 
heartbreak yes yes. 

564
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,000
You know you're you've said that
perfectly, you've nailed it 

565
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,200
right on the head is this is we 
have to pay people for what they

566
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,600
know because it shows that we 
value when you pay you pay 

567
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,700
attention and when somebody is 
out there giving your knowledge 

568
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:20,800
and you've know that you put 
some skin in the game, then you 

569
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,300
spend the time to go like okay I
need to be absorbing this. 

570
00:26:23,300 --> 00:26:25,400
I need to understand, I need to 
make sure I get the bang for my 

571
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,500
buck. 
I need to make it does motivate 

572
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:29,300
you in a different way when you 
pay for it. 

573
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,400
I don't think it's wrong to 
request it. 

574
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,400
I think you're 100%, right. 
I think, again, showing that 

575
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,400
value. 
And that's why I put a lot of 

576
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,600
people that on my podcast that 
are like, Hey listen, I want to 

577
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,900
teach I want to show you guys 
how I did my career but I 

578
00:26:42,908 --> 00:26:44,600
require payment. 
I think that's wrong. 

579
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,100
That's their time, that's their 
energy. 

580
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:47,900
I think. 
Also, if somebody doesn't have 

581
00:26:47,900 --> 00:26:50,400
baby all of it, then you can 
always go like, Hey, listen, 

582
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,400
I'll you got a $500. 
It's like, okay, that's 

583
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,000
everything you got, okay? 
I can do it. 

584
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,500
That's the stuff that I feel. 
We can then show our heart on 

585
00:26:57,500 --> 00:26:59,300
and just be like, all right, 
that's all they had. 

586
00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:02,300
Just drop the price for that, 
one person or whatever it is. 

587
00:27:02,300 --> 00:27:04,900
You kind of set in your mind. 
It's going to be either charity 

588
00:27:04,900 --> 00:27:07,500
bucket, and that's the stuff 
that you give, but I totally 

589
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:10,600
agree with you and I find it. 
So disheartening to hear that, 

590
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,100
we do start off in this career 
and there really is no one that 

591
00:27:13,100 --> 00:27:14,900
just kind of goes. 
Hey, let me show you how to be 

592
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:17,800
successful here, and I don't 
know why hospitals, don't invest

593
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,200
more money in that, I was going 
to say, yes, some say no from 

594
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,600
the business lens, something 
that I used a lot. 

595
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,800
When I started my business was 
if you look at it from the ones 

596
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,400
that there's three things time 
energy and money if you don't 

597
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,300
have one of them you're just 
gonna have to work really hard. 

598
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,200
Together to. 
So if I didn't have the money 

599
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,900
like if you're like, I want to 
start this thing but I seriously

600
00:27:33,900 --> 00:27:36,700
have no money right now. 
I'm in debt XYZ. 

601
00:27:36,700 --> 00:27:38,400
You can't do it. 
Okay, you don't have money. 

602
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,000
That just means you're going to 
have to go way harder with time 

603
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,200
and energy. 
You're going to put way more 

604
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,300
energy in. 
You're going to go find the 

605
00:27:43,308 --> 00:27:44,300
books, you can have to Google 
it. 

606
00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:46,700
You're going to have to if 
through and then you're going to

607
00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:49,300
have to you know that's going to
take you more time and more 

608
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:51,300
energy, right? 
Because you don't have money. 

609
00:27:51,500 --> 00:27:54,000
So money gets you there faster 
but you don't need money and so 

610
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,600
same thing. 
If you don't have a lot of time 

611
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,200
and you're like, I need to learn
this right away. 

612
00:27:57,300 --> 00:27:59,100
You're probably going to spend a
little bit more money to learn 

613
00:27:59,100 --> 00:28:00,900
that. 
Real quick from someone who can 

614
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:03,100
just spit, you all the 
information you need, right? 

615
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:06,900
And so when you look at it like 
that, that's a good tool to use 

616
00:28:06,900 --> 00:28:08,200
as well. 
When you're looking at it from a

617
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,100
business perspective, I don't 
know how that translates as well

618
00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:11,300
into nursing. 
I'd have to think a little 

619
00:28:11,300 --> 00:28:14,000
deeper but I know for business 
that that's a really good one to

620
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
use as well if you're in a 
different position like not in 

621
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,200
the same position financially 
and time. 

622
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,200
If they have kids like you said 
you're like my toddlers in the 

623
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,100
background like whatever you 
know we all have different 

624
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:26,500
things going on that are going 
to affect our lives. 

625
00:28:26,500 --> 00:28:28,000
So I think that's a good one to 
use. 

626
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,300
Yeah, yeah. 
Yeah. 

627
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,200
Yeah, I love that. 
That is so good guys. 

628
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,300
Hold on to that time money 
energy. 

629
00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:36,800
So you just seeing where you're 
deficient on and then just 

630
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,100
realizing that you're going to 
have to just blow through the 

631
00:28:39,100 --> 00:28:42,400
other two because unfortunately,
you're deficient on the one. 

632
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,200
So and just that it is what it 
is. 

633
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,200
There's just laws that govern 
the world, right? 

634
00:28:46,300 --> 00:28:49,400
And so you've got to respect the
laws and as much as you're like,

635
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,300
man, I don't want to pay for 
that. 

636
00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:53,100
It's like I know that's future 
time you get your energy so like

637
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:55,500
just pay it, you know. 
So I think that's really really 

638
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:57,500
good. 
I wanted to also know if there 

639
00:28:57,500 --> 00:29:00,800
was one aspect to your business,
That you were like, I will not 

640
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,600
let this go. 
This is the one thing that we 

641
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,900
will continue to do because it 
is so successful. 

642
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,800
I Cannot drop this one thing. 
What would we have? 

643
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,500
Three pillars and I'm like, I'll
never leave all three but when 

644
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:12,900
you talk about, well, just tell 
me the three million. 

645
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,200
So I'm like all three of those. 
I know for a fact, like I will 

646
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,900
always have them, but I think 
the give back efforts this style

647
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:22,200
that we do giving back. 
I don't, we'll never, I'll never

648
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:22,900
touch it. 
I love it. 

649
00:29:22,900 --> 00:29:26,700
So, I made it up, I call it 
cyclical giving, so it's 

650
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:29,100
basically giving and seasons in 
different ways. 

651
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:31,300
So, so there are companies out 
there who are like, we're going 

652
00:29:31,300 --> 00:29:35,200
to get 15% to this charity, you 
know, profit or sales, that's 

653
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,400
our mission. 
That's what we do this. 

654
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,400
So we give to, whereas, I just 
started this way of giving where

655
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:43,800
we just asked the community. 
What do you guys need right now,

656
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,600
who needs help? 
Does this specific person need 

657
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:46,800
help? 
Is it this charity? 

658
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,500
Is it the care packages we did? 
And then we'll just run 

659
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:54,100
campaigns and then three months 
later will be like, okay, now 

660
00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:55,000
what? 
And then just do something 

661
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,900
completely different like out of
left field and so it keeps it 

662
00:29:57,900 --> 00:30:01,700
really fun and I Want to have 
fun in business and so that 

663
00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:03,700
keeps it really fun for me. 
And it also keeps the community 

664
00:30:03,700 --> 00:30:06,700
really engaged Keeps Us relevant
with what's going on what people

665
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:08,500
needed during coitus completely 
different than what they need 

666
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:11,400
now. 
So it's fun to be able to shift 

667
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,800
and make giving back. 
Feel fun for me, so that's 

668
00:30:15,300 --> 00:30:17,500
something I don't purchase 
stopping doing. 

669
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,300
It's so fun. 
I love it, I love that answer to

670
00:30:20,300 --> 00:30:21,600
this question. 
He wasn't what I was like 

671
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,800
looking for, but it's totally 
something that now that I'm 

672
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,200
hearing what you're saying is 
one of those again going back to

673
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,500
the laws of nature, right? 
It. 

674
00:30:29,500 --> 00:30:31,500
You plant a seed, it's a pumpkin
seed. 

675
00:30:31,500 --> 00:30:34,200
It's going to take six months 
that pumpkin seed to germinate 

676
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,900
then also you have to replant 
it, you got to give it fully 

677
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,700
certain nutrients. 
Nitrogen oxygen carbon, you got 

678
00:30:39,700 --> 00:30:41,700
to put all this stuff in it and 
then then you get like a bigger 

679
00:30:41,700 --> 00:30:43,200
pumpkin and then it grows in six
months. 

680
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,700
And then now you have fruit and 
also the stuff there's laws, 

681
00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:47,000
right? 
Would you have a baby? 

682
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,900
It takes nine months, you don't 
expect it to be born any earlier

683
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:51,800
than that, because it needs a 
nine-month. 

684
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,800
That's what it's been deemed. 
And so, one of the things that I

685
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,600
always hear in business, is that
you've got to give, you can't 

686
00:30:58,700 --> 00:31:00,700
hold it. 
You can't keep it, you can't do,

687
00:31:00,700 --> 00:31:04,400
like, it's all mine, precious 
like Gollum underneath, you 

688
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,700
know, troll bridge, like keeping
all in hoarding. 

689
00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:10,500
All your stuff like you've got 
to give because that is such a 

690
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:12,600
gun. 
One of those things, and laws 

691
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,100
that govern the universe, that 
you've got to respect this law, 

692
00:31:15,100 --> 00:31:17,800
you've just got to give and what
you find when you do that. 

693
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,500
Is it always comes back. 
And again, when I was watching 

694
00:31:20,500 --> 00:31:23,700
that video of you guys give me, 
I was just like this girl is so 

695
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:26,900
incredible. 
She has such an other centered 

696
00:31:26,900 --> 00:31:31,500
mindset that going to bring joy.
Boy, when you focus in on others

697
00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:35,200
and brings so much more joy to 
your life and I can see it just 

698
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:38,300
emanating from you of like I 
will never get rid of being 

699
00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:40,900
other-centered. 
That's what I'm going to keep 

700
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:43,200
doing no matter what. 
I don't care. 

701
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,000
It's not social media. 
It's not I was thinking like it 

702
00:31:46,008 --> 00:31:48,200
was going to be like, we're 
going to consistently Market to 

703
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,100
this base know, like you're just
like, no, I'm going to focus in 

704
00:31:51,100 --> 00:31:52,800
on UPS. 
Always like that's the thing I'm

705
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,300
never going to stop doing 
because I think that's the 

706
00:31:55,300 --> 00:31:58,500
secret of business. 
It's just, it's about others. 

707
00:31:58,500 --> 00:32:00,500
It's never about. 
Yourself in the most successful,

708
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:04,900
businesses are the ones that 
fixate on the customer. 

709
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,000
This is what we need to be 
aiming everything towards and as

710
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,000
long as we are giving and we are
giving expecting nothing in 

711
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,600
return, then we are fulfilling 
that law of know, it will come 

712
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,500
back. 
You just have to trust it. 

713
00:32:17,500 --> 00:32:19,600
You just have to trust that. 
It's going to take 9 months, you

714
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,200
just gotta wait the basic of it,
you know? 

715
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,900
So the baby I just is that every
time we give something crazy 

716
00:32:25,900 --> 00:32:28,400
happens, I'm not even kidding. 
And it comes back around like 

717
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,600
tenfold, every Time when we did 
the nurse care package campaign,

718
00:32:31,700 --> 00:32:34,600
Good Morning, America. 
Slid into my email and was like,

719
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,700
hey, do you want to come on? 
Good Morning America. 

720
00:32:36,700 --> 00:32:40,300
I'm like, why GM's? 
I'm like, but heck and we got a 

721
00:32:40,300 --> 00:32:43,400
good one, America, which then 
right gives us this Authority. 

722
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,400
It gives us credibility. 
It's something I can use, 

723
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,800
whatever that is, just so 
freaking awesome. 

724
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,700
And then gives us the exposure 
XYZ. 

725
00:32:50,900 --> 00:32:53,800
And then we did another care 
package campaign like a year 

726
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,400
after that. 
And I created this little design

727
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,500
on canva as the face of it, that
Heroes in and crossed out and 

728
00:33:01,500 --> 00:33:03,500
said humans underneath them, 
that was kind of what I put on 

729
00:33:03,500 --> 00:33:08,000
our marketing materials, I love 
how to put it on a shirt. 

730
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,300
So I was like oh I didn't think 
people would really want that on

731
00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:12,400
clothing but it's by far our 
best seller. 

732
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,500
It went viral. 
We made so much money off of 

733
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:17,500
that one design and it's like oh
but where did that come from? 

734
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:20,400
It came from a care package 
campaign trying to give back and

735
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,900
so you hit the nail on the head 
and it always comes back. 

736
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:25,500
Oh my God, it makes me almost 
want like what? 

737
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:27,900
I cry like I can do it. 
I was like, just tear up. 

738
00:33:27,900 --> 00:33:35,400
I'm like That's the challenge 
that I want nurses to hear this 

739
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,800
week on the podcast. 
I want you guys to give 

740
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,400
something away. 
That's my challenge to you. 

741
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,600
Right now on the podcast, we are
hitting it to you. 

742
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,400
Mrs. Schumann, and mrs. 
Potenza are flat-out. 

743
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,700
Telling you go, give something 
away because it's going to shock

744
00:33:48,700 --> 00:33:51,300
you how it comes back. 
And you're going to be like, oh 

745
00:33:51,308 --> 00:33:53,200
my gosh, this is some 
Supernatural. 

746
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,800
Again, this is a Halloween was 
yesterday. 

747
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,700
It seems like Halloween spooky 
thing. 

748
00:33:56,700 --> 00:33:59,200
I'm like yes it is. 
Just trust us, just go. 

749
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,200
Give it and see what happens. 
And again, I'm not saying that 

750
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,200
people should be paid or 
compensated for their time or 

751
00:34:05,208 --> 00:34:07,100
compensated for their energy or 
their work. 

752
00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:09,900
Those are two separate things 
because I feel like you respect 

753
00:34:09,900 --> 00:34:12,000
the law who and you can respect 
the law of other, I don't 

754
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,800
believe that they have to live 
outside of themselves. 

755
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,000
Well then, just give everything 
away. 

756
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,800
It's like, I don't know about 
that world can't operate that 

757
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:22,100
way but again, when you respect 
the laws and you say I know I've

758
00:34:22,100 --> 00:34:24,900
got to give something here 
because I know that's just what 

759
00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:27,100
were called to do. 
We've got to be other centered 

760
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:30,500
and always comes back. 
If you could go back Back to the

761
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:33,699
young Eva and just go. 
All right, I want you to know 

762
00:34:33,699 --> 00:34:36,500
one thing as a brand new nurse. 
If you could go back to her and 

763
00:34:36,500 --> 00:34:38,000
tell her something, this is the 
last question. 

764
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,100
The podcast. 
What would you tell her that you

765
00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:43,199
want her to know that? 
You're just like hold on to 

766
00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:44,800
this. 
Like this is your buoy. 

767
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,000
This is your life jacket. 
Don't you dare take this off. 

768
00:34:48,100 --> 00:34:51,400
You ride this wave all the way 
down, you write it. 

769
00:34:51,500 --> 00:34:53,400
What is one thing you would tell
her as a piece of, I think I 

770
00:34:53,408 --> 00:34:56,699
would tell my younger self, 
which I needed to hear. 

771
00:34:56,699 --> 00:35:00,400
Let me tell you, but I would 
have told her that Nursing is 

772
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,600
working for you. 
You're not working for nursing 

773
00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:06,200
because I do so much. 
I went into my nursing career 

774
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,500
being like, I need a full-time 
job. 

775
00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:10,500
I work night shift, I'll do 
whatever they need me to do. 

776
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,300
I'm going to go back to school. 
I'm going to be a nurse 

777
00:35:12,300 --> 00:35:15,400
practitioner because that's what
I'm so quote-unquote supposed to

778
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,100
do and then I'm going to do 
this. 

779
00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:20,300
I had my whole plan laid out and
as you know, from previously in 

780
00:35:20,300 --> 00:35:24,000
the episode, my perfectionism in
my planning is like a core part 

781
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,700
of my personality and so when 
that derailed, once I realize, 

782
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,300
this is just not what I thought 
it was going to be. 

783
00:35:29,500 --> 00:35:32,500
Be, that was a lot for me and 
it's funny to think now fast 

784
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:34,700
forward five years. 
I am obsessed with being per 

785
00:35:34,700 --> 00:35:36,300
diem. 
I literally work in the flu 

786
00:35:36,300 --> 00:35:39,500
clinics covid clinics. 
I work for OMS on the side, like

787
00:35:39,500 --> 00:35:42,100
I do, all of this stuff. 
I work day shift in night shift.

788
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,100
I just make my career work for 
me so hard and I am just 

789
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:48,200
constantly thinking about how 
can this work for me, how can 

790
00:35:48,207 --> 00:35:50,700
they benefit me? 
That's how I kind of made space 

791
00:35:50,700 --> 00:35:52,400
for my business. 
Like, we talked about and I was 

792
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,000
able to step into that. 
Now, I have like a gajillion, 

793
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,800
revenue streams, like, doing all
these different things and I 

794
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:58,900
just thought nursing with the 
end. 

795
00:35:58,900 --> 00:36:02,500
All, be all. 
Beginning, and now I'm so clear 

796
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:04,400
on the fact that it's not the 
end-all be-all. 

797
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,900
It's my purpose is the end, all 
be all. 

798
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,600
What makes me fulfilled as what,
what should be my goal in the 

799
00:36:09,607 --> 00:36:11,900
future? 
Not this mapper like this 

800
00:36:11,900 --> 00:36:13,800
roadmap that's laid out for me 
if that makes sense. 

801
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,700
Oh, beautiful. 
That is so freaking beautiful. 

802
00:36:16,700 --> 00:36:20,800
It is like I want that for every
I know there's like I just like 

803
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,700
pour that on everyone because 
the way that it's just 

804
00:36:23,700 --> 00:36:26,800
portrayed, you just downed free,
like no one's clipped your 

805
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,500
wings. 
And that's what happens. 

806
00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:31,200
Is that your wings? 
Get clipped as a nurse and you 

807
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,900
just kind of settle in and you 
just get in this little cage and

808
00:36:33,908 --> 00:36:35,800
you're just this little sad bird
in a cage. 

809
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:40,200
And like, watching you is like, 
know this bird flies around, 

810
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,900
she's free. 
She's flapping and she doesn't 

811
00:36:42,900 --> 00:36:46,200
have any any cares about. 
Oh I just I this is this is the 

812
00:36:46,207 --> 00:36:47,700
life. 
I'm going to live as I'm never 

813
00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:49,600
going to be. 
I'm never gonna be able to do 

814
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,600
what I've always wanted to do 
and you're doing it now. 

815
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,400
You're not waiting until you get
a pension and you retire and all

816
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,400
these different things. 
Yeah, we get now, which is 

817
00:36:57,500 --> 00:37:00,100
beautiful. 
It's just totally my Are so for 

818
00:37:00,100 --> 00:37:02,700
the last part of the podcast 
will just end it right there. 

819
00:37:02,700 --> 00:37:05,200
So it was perfect point. 
I do rapid fire. 

820
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,300
So what I do, I just hit people 
with, it's just a really quick, 

821
00:37:08,300 --> 00:37:10,000
like boom, boom, boom, it's just
do it. 

822
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,900
If you could have somebody play 
you like on a like an actress 

823
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:17,100

everyone does look like her.

book to read.
