In today’s bonus episode, I’m celebrating Nurse Practitioner Week by shining a light on what nurse practitioners actually do in the healthcare space.

If you’ve ever wondered what an NP is, how we’re trained, or how our role differs from a doctor or a physician assistant — this episode will help you understand the important part nurse practitioners play in today’s healthcare system.

With over 385,000 NPs in the U.S. and more than 47,000 in Texas alone, nurse practitioners are helping bridge the gap in care for a growing and aging population. I share what it takes to become an NP, what we can and can’t do, and why so many patients are choosing NPs as their primary care providers.

As someone who has spent 23 years in healthcare — first as a registered nurse and the last 18 years as a nurse practitioner — I’m proud to celebrate this profession and the meaningful work we get to do every single day.

• What nurse practitioners (NPs) are and how they’re trained

• The difference between NPs, PAs, and physicians

• What NPs can and can’t do depending on state laws

• Why nurse practitioners are vital to today’s healthcare system

Okay, friends — the holidays are almost here, and if you’re like me, your calendar is already filling up fast. Between work, your kids’ activities, shopping, decorating, wrapping, cooking, and trying to make all the magic happen, it’s a lot. And it’s so easy to forget about yourself in the middle of it all.

But here’s your reminder: when you’re constantly pouring out to others, you eventually run dry. You can’t show up as your best self if your own cup is empty.

This week, we’re talking about self-care in busy seasons — specifically, 10 simple ways to fill your own cup during the holidays. Because self-care isn’t selfish. It’s essential. Especially right now.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

✨ Why it’s so important to protect your peace and energy during busy seasons

✨ 10 practical and meaningful ways to refill your cup through the holidays

✨ How to balance joy, rest, and wellness when life feels overwhelming

✨ Why nourishing your body, movement, boundaries, and gratitude matter more than ever

Together, we’ll talk about everything from protecting your mornings to saying no without guilt, decorating early if it brings you joy, moving your body for your mood, and creating space for rest and connection.

Because when you fill your own cup first, you can pour out from a place of abundance — not exhaustion. 💛

As moms and women in this busy middle season of life, it’s easy to lose sight of the goals we set at the start of the year. The holidays are around the corner, and between the chaos, the cookies, and the dark evenings, it can feel tempting to just hit pause until January. But today, we’re talking about how to hit reset instead — to realign with your goals, remember your “why,” and finish 2025 strong.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

✨ Why a pre-holiday reset matters and how it helps you maintain momentum

✨ How to reflect on your 2025 goals and see where you’ve made progress

✨ Questions to help you refocus and set small, meaningful intentions for the rest of the year

✨ Simple ways to stay consistent with your workouts, nutrition, and self-care during the holidays

✨ How to find joy and progress — not perfection — in these last few weeks of the year

Whether your goal is to hit a mileage milestone, feel stronger, eat with more intention, or just end the year proud of your effort, this episode will help you pause, breathe, and reset before the holiday rush hits.
