From Burnout to Bank: How I Used Digital Marketing to Escape Nurse Burnout

“I was mentally stable-ish, but my job wasn’t.”

If that made you chuckle (or cry a little), you’re probably a nurse, healthcare worker, or someone who's been holding it together with caffeine and willpower.

For 16 years, I lived that life — shifts that felt endless, missing holidays, burnout that crept in like a virus, and that nagging voice whispering, “There has to be more than this.”

And guess what? There was.

The Breaking Point: More Than Just Tired

I didn’t just wake up one day and quit. It was gradual. It was exhaustion with layers.

I loved helping people. I still do. But I didn’t love:

  • Constant short-staffing

  • Missing family moments

  • Feeling like a robot in scrubs

  • Smiling through trauma and chaos

Eventually, my body, mind, and soul tapped out. I was burnt, crispy, and done.

The Digital Pivot: “I Knew Nothing—But I Had to Try”

I stumbled across digital marketing like most of us do — while doom-scrolling after a soul-crushing shift.

I saw people just like me making money from home. Not surveys. Not scams. Real digital income using:






I wasn’t techy. But I was hungry for freedom and willing to learn.

What Actually Worked for Me

Instead of chasing a million side hustles, I focused on three powerful income streams:

1. Affiliate Marketing

I started recommending tools, courses, and platforms I was already using — and got paid every time someone signed up through my link.

Affiliate marketing is word-of-mouth income, but automated.

Now I earn commissions through:

2. Subscription-Based Business (LiveGood + SaveClub)

When I found LiveGood and SaveClub, I finally saw the magic of residual income.

Every time someone joins through my link, I get paid monthly. It’s simple, impactful, and scalable — even with zero tech experience.

Why I love it:

  • Low startup cost

  • Monthly income I can count on

  • Communities I trust

  • Easy to share for nurses, moms, and digital beginners

3. Creating/Selling My Own Digital Products

I packaged what I learned and launched my beginner-friendly course:
Digital Hustle Kickstart for FREE 


Then I built my brand — Digital Dollars Today — and wrote my book, Hot Mess in Scrubs, How To Be mentally stable-ish in a profession that isn't to help other nurses and healthcare workers break free from burnout.  


I also learned about starting my own print on demand  Printify business -   SHIFT HAPPENS MERCH

Started Blogging and Learned to  market on Pinterest, and other social media platforms like tiktok, instagram , facebook

My Life Now: Helping People from My Laptop

I still help people — just without the badge, burnout, or back pain.

Now I work from anywhere.
I build income on my terms.
I help others escape burnout and go digital.

And most importantly — I have my peace back.
