TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!
Happy October, fam!!! Spooky season is here (read my favoritest season besides summer), and so are some big firsts for The Ritual Nurse. This month we’ve got special off-schedule episodes dropping, TikTok Lives (Go follow @theritualnurse!!!) in the works (yes, with crystal pulls and live divination), and some major announcements that are going to shift how we do this together.
But today? We’re talking survival. Nursing doesn’t hand out privacy breaks. You don’t get a quiet room to cry it out or a meditation cushion mid-shift. What you get is the med room, a hallway, or maybe two seconds at the scanner and meanwhile your body is betraying you with a racing heart, shaky hands, and a foggy brain.
That’s why this episode is all about regulation in real time. Not the “self-care day” version, but the neurological reset that works in 30 seconds flat.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why nursing leaves you no space to process and what that does to your body
- A step-by-step guide to Code Blue to Code You
- Two add-on micro skills: B.O.D.Y. (your doorway reset) and HEART-REST (your deeper breakroom pause)
- The science of why regulation is not optional. It’s ethical survival
- Coffee, Crystals & Divination: fall coffee rituals with cardamom, Black Tourmaline, and a divination pull that nailed the theme of regulation and resilience
October is going to be huge here at The Ritual Nurse. Don’t just listen! Join in.
