From Nurse Burnout to Digital Breakthrough
How One "Hot Mess in Scrubs" Turned Her Exhaustion into Empowerment — And Built a Life on Her Own Terms
LET's BE REAL!
Burnout in healthcare isn’t just about feeling tired. it’s soul-deep exhaustion. It’s the quiet crying in your car before your shift. The numb autopilot between code blues and med passes. The aching question on repeat: *“Is this really my life?
For years, I wore my scrubs like armor, holding it all together with caffeine, sarcasm, and a heart that just wanted to help.
But beneath the smile, I was unraveling.
Until one day… I broke.
And in that breakdown — came my breakthrough.
When Caring for Others Came at the Cost of Myself
I was the nurse who stayed late. Who said “yes” to extra shifts. Who covered for coworkers and charted during lunch breaks. I wore my exhaustion like a badge of honor — until it became a weight I could no longer carry.
My mental health? Declining.
My relationships? Strained.
My identity? Blurry.
I loved helping people — but I had nothing left for myself.
"Burnout isn’t weakness.
It’s your body waving a white flag'"
So I listened.
I took a breath.
I told the truth.
A Self-Help Book for Nurses — Born from Burnout
For me, writing wasn’t just therapy — it was survival.
That breakdown I had?
It turned into something powerful.
📘 Hot Mess in Scrubs: How to Be Mentally Stable-ish in a Profession That Isn’t"
is the result.
This book is my raw, honest journey through nurse burnout, emotional exhaustion, and finding mental clarity in a career that constantly demands more. It's written by a nurse, for nurses — especially those who feel like they're losing themselves in the chaos of long shifts, short staffing, and constant pressure.
It’s not fluff.
It’s not just quotes and self-care checklists.
This is a practical self-help guide for healthcare workers—especially nurses—who are ready to protect their mental health, set boundaries, and maybe even reignite the passion they once had for caregiving.
Because nurses need support too.
We show up for everyone else — but who shows up for us?

Mental health tips specific to nursing stress and trauma
Tools to manage work-related anxiety, emotional fatigue, and exhaustion

If you’ve ever said, “I love helping people, but I’m running on empty,”
this book was written for you.
💡 Whether you're a new nurse, a seasoned RN, or a healthcare worker trying to survive one more shift — this book will remind you:
You're not alone. You're not broken. And yes — there is a way forward.
Writing to Heal, Then Building to Help
Publishing Hot Mess in Scrubs was the first brave step I took to break free from burnout.
It wasn’t perfect.
It wasn’t polished.
It was messy, emotional, and raw — just like real healing often is.
But deep down, I hoped that by writing this book, something good would come of it.
That maybe, just maybe, other nurses, healthcare professionals, and women in high-stress jobs would read it and quietly whisper:
👉 “Me too.”
👉 “I thought I was the only one.”
👉 “You put into words what I’ve felt for years.”
And when those messages started coming in… I knew.
This wasn’t just about my healing anymore.
It was about holding space for others to heal too.
It was about us — all of us — finding our way back from emotional exhaustion, professional pressure, and personal neglect.
So I built something new.
A supportive space where everyday women — especially nurses and burnt-out professionals — can learn how to monetize their skills, start online income streams, and build freedom-filled lives that don’t require them to sacrifice their sanity.
Because burnout might have been the beginning of my breakdown,
but it also became the spark that started my digital breakthrough.
