Ever wondered how a childhood dream can turn into a lifelong passion? Join us for an inspiring conversation with Karen Scruggs, a devoted nurse with both bachelor's and master's degrees in nursing, who also hosts the insightful podcast "Karen's Nnquisitive Korner." From playing with plastic nursing kits as a child to becoming a beacon of compassion in the healthcare field, Karen shares her remarkable journey and the unwavering calling that many nurses feel. We'll also offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the quirks and joys of podcasting, adding a personal touch to this engaging discussion.
But that's not all. We're diving into the essential topic of self-care and its critical role in maintaining mental health, especially in demanding professions like nursing. Through personal stories and reflections, Karen and I discuss the transformative power of self-kindness, how our upbringing shapes our self-worth, and why prioritizing self-care is a necessity, not a luxury. Then, we explore the fascinating interplay between kindness, genetics, and mental health, debating the authenticity of social media acts of kindness and sharing a heartwarming story about the positive impact of dietary changes based on genetic heritage. This episode is packed with insights that will leave you thinking about the profound effects of kindness on both mental and physical health.
