#85: Working Full Time as a Nurse vs Become a Content Creator
This Year I share how running Nurse Who Invest/Nursing Flowsheet alongside full-time work has started to burn me out, and how posting less has brought up guilt and the feeling of failing my side business.
I explain why it’s okay to choose one lane for a season, comparing it to Coast FI and how past content can still “compound.”

#83: being wealthy is not strategy.. it's identity (let me explain)
Wealth Isn’t a Strategy—It’s an Identity (Money Mindset for Nurses)
I share a personal lesson that took me years to understand: being wealthy isn’t just about strategies—it’s an identity shift. Even if you know what a Roth IRA is and what to invest in, you can stay stuck if you don’t believe you’re the kind of person who builds wealth. I relate this to my “floater friend” identity and how long-held stories can shape our actions, then connect it to how many nurses are taught to be selfless in ways that can create guilt around money, boundaries, ambition, and rest. I explain that strategy without identity change becomes informed inaction, and I share how repetition and aligned action—like my monthly cinnamon affirmation ritual—helped me and my husband reach over $1M invested by age 38. I close with practical steps: act like the wealthy version of you before you feel ready.
