Manage episode 485136297 series 3554526
In this candid episode of The Nursesâ Breakroom with Jenny Lytle, RN, Jenny opens up about a recent decision-making dilemma that led her to turn down a âperfect on paperâ job opportunity. What stopped her? A lack of peace.
Jenny shares how honoring her intuition (or what she calls divine guidance) helped her avoid burnout and stay aligned with what truly mattersâflexibility, purpose, and protecting her peace. Whether you're a nurse, caregiver, or just someone navigating change, this episode reminds you that your gut feeling is validâand essential.
Why It Matters:
Burnout can start with ignoring those quiet internal nudges. Choosing peace over pressure is a powerful form of self-care.
Key Takeaways & Action Steps:
âď¸ Pay attention to your intuitionâespecially when peace is missing
âď¸ Just because something looks right doesnât mean it is right
âď¸ Self-care includes making choices that align with your current season
âď¸ Flexibility and rest may matter more than prestige or structure
âď¸ Ask for guidance and wait for clarityâit will come
Perfect for:
Nurses, caregivers, busy women, and anyone standing at a crossroads and craving clarity.
