Self Care is NOT Selfish (with Jenny Lytle)

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 15:29:36 -0700

Jenny Lytle, a nurse for over 30 years specializing in hospice and end-of-life care, experienced a profound shift when her mom—also a nurse—suddenly passed away. In her grief, Jenny realized her mom, like so many nurses, had prioritized everyone else at the expense of her own well-being.

Determined to break that cycle, Jenny embarked on a journey of self-discovery, embracing coaching and personalized self-care. She found that caring for others begins with caring for yourself.

Now the author of Self-Care Isn’t Selfish: The Compassionate Nurse's Step-by-Step Guide to Personalized Stress Relief, Jenny helps nurses and other caregivers through her proprietary Becoming Method®, providing practical, personalized strategies to manage stress, prioritize self-care, and continue caring for others with greater impact.

Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential if we want to continue to care for others and live our best lives.

The Benefits of Trusting your intuition (with Jennifer Johnson)

Sat, 17 May 2025 13:39:37 -0700

Jenn Johnson learned more about intuition after listening to what her body was telling her. After years of nursing in the ER, she started feeling about what was going on with her patients before tests would clearly show the diagnosis. In this episode, Jenn shares some of the science behind intuition and how she started relying on her own experiences when caring for patients.

With all of her experience at the bedside, she also realized that she could use her intuition, that gut feeling we all get sometimes, to get her patients the care they need much more quickly than if she waited for lab and diagnostic tests to come back. Her colleagues respect her as she uses her intuition to quickly communicate with others to get patients treated before they become even worse off.

Jenn's book - Nursing Intuition, is finally here! . In the book, she will discuss the science behind using intuition and how she incorporates it into her patient care. Jenn has a wealth of information to share, and I cannot wait to read her book when it comes out. You can find Jenn at www.nursejenn.ca Check out her work!

This week's guest is Ashley Bradford. I'd give her an introduction, but she does a better job herself. "I am a Money Miracle Worker; Coach; and Financial Educator. Why this? Because I honestly give a shit that men and women are constantly self sabotaging their lives by stressing over finances- so I help people take back their power and feel more confident when talking about & managing money."

You can’t create from a place of depletion. (with Jenny Lee)

Fri, 01 Jul 2022 05:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I chat with Jenny Lee about the importance of a morning routine and the ripple effect it can have on your life.

Jenny is a teacher of 20 years. She is inspired to help women be aware of their own self care after a realization of how her own lack of self-care had put her in the wrong path. After a few taxing life events, years of self-separation, postpartum depression and divorce, life directed her on the path of self-care and self-discovery. She uncovered her connection to happiness and inspiration through her morning routines and self-care embodiment. Jenny is now on the journey of guiding other women to heal and reconnect with their dignified and highest selves through morning rituals and self-care.

There must be quite a few things that a hot bath won’t cure, but I don’t know many of them.

Fri, 20 May 2022 19:46:25 -0700

In this episode, we experience a hot tub boat. Yes, a boat that is a hot tub and yes it is as good as it sounds. If you know how to swim how can you resist this phenomenal meeting of two worlds. This is truly the best use of a Sunday evening.

I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else

Fri, 06 May 2022 05:38:16 -0700

You know what's better than reading a book? Finding someone to then talk about it with and that's what I did! I started a book club and I'm super excited about it. Listen in as I talk about why I started it and what it has brought to my life.
