The Ashley O Show: Nursing Beyond the Bedside
The Ashley O Show is a space where nurses and caregivers come together to understand that their identity extends beyond the humans that they care for. Where the hardest workers in the room can have honest and authentic conversations about what is holding them back and the changes needed to move forward. I am here to help you fit nutrition, fitness, and self-care into a life built around 12 hour shifts. It doesn’t have to be complicated, it’s definitely going to be scary, and it’s also going to be more beautiful than you ever imagined.
So it’s time we commit to putting ourselves first, chasing uncertainty, and building stronger lives, careers, bodies, and minds then we thought was possible. So grab a hot cup of tea, settle in, and let's change our lives.
The Ashley O Show: Nursing Beyond the Bedside
271. Why NURSES Have No Sex Drive
Let's talk about SEX, baby! This episode is so freaking important, and so many of us are ashamed to even give words to this. Nurses - an absent sex drive is a red flag. Despite what you may have been told, it’s not just because you’re getting older, it’s not just a normal part of a long marriage, it’s not about scheduling it. It’s an indicator that your nervous system (and your hormones) are screaming for help. Too many nurses are spending 24 hours a day in fight-or-flight with zero chill. You can only function so long in never-ending fight-or-flight. And one of the tell-tale signs of a burnt out nervous system is low libido. So today I want to give you a few simple strategies to manage your stress so that you can get back to getting it on.
ALSO - I have been DYING to tell you all about my brand new program launching in February, and I couldn't hold it in any longer! Healthcare Homecoming is a 12 week hybrid program designed to help nurses lose weight and come home to their bodies for LIFE.
As a listener, I am opening up the doors exclusively to you to save your spot before anyone else HERE (all of the details can be found here as well!)
If you have any questions about the program, let's hop on a quick connection call to chat!
