This week on The Nurses' Breakroom with Jenny Lytle, RN, we’re slowing down to talk about the people who matter most.
From celebrating her 27th wedding anniversary to honoring the 7th anniversary of her mom’s passing, Jenny shares a heartfelt reflection on the power of meaningful connection—and the impact of friendships, faith, and showing up for yourself.
You’ll walk away with powerful reminders of what true support looks like and how to nurture relationships that bring peace, not pressure.
💡 Takeaways + Action Steps:
- Reflect on which relationships feel easy, authentic, and energizing
- Identify people you can truly be yourself with—and those who drain you
- Explore ways to reconnect, release, or reprioritize relationships
- Revisit your relationship with God or your personal spiritual practice
- Take one small step: call, journal, pray, or schedule time for someone who matters
✨ This episode is a gentle invitation to grieve, celebrate, and reconnect—with others and with yourself.
