The real reason good nurses feel stuck
|
Hey Reader, I've been having a lot of conversations lately with nurses who like their work. They're not burned out. They've even been promoted, and they still feel like something is missing. I used to think that meant it was time for a new job. Then I read Manage Your Day to Day and found the words for what's actually going on: it's not a new job you need. It's unnecessary creation time. In the new episode, I break down what that means and why it matters for you: Why the most frustrated high achievers are usually the ones expecting their day job to satisfy every bit of their creativity and curiosity How taking a passion project outside your organization (a professional org, a side business, a board seat) can build skills your day job never will, including strategic thinkinghy creative work on your own terms reminds you that you are not the sum of what you produce for someone else Here's why this matters for you. If your job is good but something still feels missing, that gap usually isn't a resume problem. It's a missing outlet. You don't have to quit anything to fix it. You just have to make space for it. ​Listen to "Promoted and Still Restless: Why High Acheiving Nurses Need Creation Time"​
P.S. If that missing piece is really about not knowing how to position the work you're already doing, that's exactly what we untangle inside the Leadership Positioning Intensive. Links are in the show notes. Give it a listen, then hit reply and tell me what's on your "unnecessary creation" list. ​ |

I'm going to be honest with you about something I find really tough-organizing and planning, which often feels overwhelming for me too. Because let's be clear — I talk a lot about strategy, positioning, and leadership clarity. And I genuinely love that work. But behind the scenes? There is one thing that has been quietly driving me absolutely bananas. Organizing. Planning. Systems. All of it....

Hey Reader, Do you ever notice how this time of year seems to slow down and speed up at the same time? It’s weird, right? Because of this weird thing with the calendar, I want to update you on what’s happening here at Professional Ascension.
