Ep 34: When Your CRNA Dreams Are Disrupted, Deferred and Inconvenient: What Do You Do Next?

Have you ever felt like life completely derailed your plans? Like the dream was finally within reach, only for everything to fall apart? This may be one of the most powerful conversations we've ever had on The Mindful CRNA Podcast. In this deeply honest episode, Amanda sits down with current NAR Shana Dagny—a former professional actress, singer, competitive athlete, ICU nurse, and one of the most resilient humans you'll ever meet. Shauna's journey to CRNA school is anything but traditional. Born in the Philippines and then living in the world of theater and performance, she spent years chasing success on stages and enduring rejection after rejection in pursuit of her acting dream. Nursing orginally was the side hustle and how she put food on the table. Eventually though, nursing became the place where she rediscovered her joy and her CRNA calling. But just as she was preparing for her next chapter, her health took an unexpected turn. After developing severe asthma and complications from long-term steroid treatment, Shauna faced devastating diagnoses including Addison's Disease and Cushing's Syndrome. Within weeks, she gained over 80 pounds, became largely bedridden, lost her athletic abilities, and was forced to defer her CRNA school acceptance. Many people would have stopped there but Shana didn't. Instead, she rebuilt her life one day at a time. In this episode, we discuss: ✨ Handling rejection and disappointment without losing yourself ✨ Why failure may be one of your greatest teachers ✨ The surprising lessons acting taught her about CRNA interviews ✨ Learning to stop seeking validation from others ✨ What it means to intentionally pursue discomfort & failure ✨ Building confidence through action instead of certainty ✨ Navigating chronic illness while pursuing ambitious goals ✨ The mindset that helped her get accepted into CRNA school ✨ Why "you don't need more strength—you need fewer excuses" ✨ Trusting God when the path forward doesn't make sense This conversation is a reminder that courage isn't the absence of fear, It's showing up anyway. Whether you're applying to CRNA school, currently in school, facing rejection, battling health challenges, or simply navigating a difficult season of life, Shana's story will challenge you to rethink what is possible. The greatest victories aren't found in perfect circumstances but in the willingness to keep going. 🎙️ Listen now and prepare to be inspired. Delayed Dreams and Unshaken Purpose. Delays don't have to take you off your path but can become the very things that keep you grounded in it.

Ep. 33 You Belong Here: CRNA School, Delayed Gratification & Failing to Keep Going w/ Bilal Mohammad CRNA

What does it really take to get into—and through—CRNA school? In this episode of The Mindful CRNA Podcast, Amanda sits down with CRNA and content creator Bilal Mohammad for an honest conversation about leadership, perseverance, social media, and the realities of becoming a nurse anesthetist. Bilal shares his unique journey from aspiring aerospace engineer to CVICU nurse to CRNA, including how he was accepted into CRNA school with just 2 years of nursing experience. Together, they tackle some of the biggest topics facing aspiring CRNAs today: ✨ Gatekeeping in anesthesia ✨ Getting into CRNA school with "limited" ICU experience ✨ Leadership qualities that set applicants apart ✨ Why delayed gratification is essential for success ✨ Failing exams and bouncing back stronger ✨ Surviving integrated CRNA programs ✨ Managing difficult preceptors and clinical challenges ✨ Social media, professionalism, and protecting your career ✨ Board preparation and transitioning into practice ✨ Learning to trust yourself when self-doubt creeps in If you've ever wondered whether you're ready, questioned if you belong in CRNA school, or struggled through the inevitable challenges of this journey, this conversation is for you. Bilal's message is simple but powerful: You were selected for a reason. You belong where you are. Keep going. 🎙️ Whether you're an aspiring CRNA, current NAR, or new graduate preparing for boards and your first job, you'll walk away with practical advice, encouragement, and a fresh perspective on what it means to lead yourself through one of the most demanding journeys in healthcare.

EP. 32: Why You're ACTUALLY Not Behind on Your CRNA Journey

After a few weeks away from the mic, I'm finally back — and this episode marks the beginning of an entirely new season. Since we last talked, I competed in my first bodybuilding competition, took 4th place, turned 40 and realized something that completely shifted the way I view success, purpose, CRNA school, leadership, and life itself: The stage was never the point. We spend so much of our lives chasing "big moments": ✨ getting accepted into CRNA school ✨ graduation day ✨ passing boards ✨ the title ✨ the applause ✨ the recognition But what happens when the moment ends? In this deeply personal episode, I unpack: <ul data-start="1457" data-end="2217"> <li data-section-id="b98q95" data-start="1457" data-end="1544">What bodybuilding prep taught me about discipline, identity, and emotional resilience</li> <li data-section-id="1c9ma1g" data-start="1545" data-end="1597">Why so many aspriring CRNAs burn out after reaching the goal</li> <li data-section-id="1ciw6jo" data-start="1598" data-end="1662">The dangerous lie social media sells about "overnight success"</li> <li data-section-id="1o4mxzg" data-start="1663" data-end="1721">Why CRNA school is far more formational than educational</li> <li data-section-id="1a5fc39" data-start="1722" data-end="1792">How imposter syndrome is often a sign of adaptation — not inadequacy</li> <li data-section-id="r6mbw4" data-start="1793" data-end="1885">The connection between muscle physiology, stress adaptation, and nervous system regulation</li> <li data-section-id="1rc9z8v" data-start="1886" data-end="1956"> What "post-show blues" taught me about sustainability and self-worth</li> <li data-section-id="1qpnqa7" data-start="1957" data-end="2044">How fear, perfectionism, people pleasing, and overwhelm act like emotional paralytics</li> <li data-section-id="k82p5f" data-start="2045" data-end="2080">Why preparation is NOT punishment</li> <li data-section-id="t4n5uo" data-start="2081" data-end="2166">The leadership lessons hidden inside disappointment, delay, sacrifice, and pressure</li> <li data-section-id="rqp9gk" data-start="2167" data-end="2217">What it truly means to build a legacy that lasts</li> </ul> This episode is for the aspiring CRNA, NAR, new CRNA, high achievers, perfectionists, and exhausted humans who feels like they're carrying heavy weight right now. You are not failing. You are being built. And maybe… just maybe… the discomfort isn't proof that you're incapable, but proof that you're growing. CRNA Bootcamp is coming soon, and this episode opens the door into what we're building next together. Because we are not just preparing you for CRNA school. We are preparing you to carry the weight of the life you prayed for. If you've been feeling behind, overwhelmed, discouraged, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in comparison… this episode is for you. You are not behind. You are in training.
