Finding Bliss after Burnout

Fresh off a family trip to the Gold Coast, Michelle tackles a comment that's been grinding her gears: "You're so lucky." Lucky she gets to travel. Lucky she only works casually. Lucky her husband owns a business.
In this episode, Michelle pulls back the curtain on what people don't see — the years of burnout, the rock-bottom moments, and the hundreds of small decisions that built the life she has now. She shares her own story of nursing burnout, the wine-every-night spiral, and the single decision that changed everything.
If you're a nurse who knows something needs to change but isn't sure where to start, Michelle invites you to check out the Aligned Nurse Method Program — a self-paced program to help you uncover your values, understand your burnout patterns, and start building a career and life that support you.

What if the burnout you keep cycling back into isn't a willpower problem, but a wiring problem? In this episode, Michelle sits down with EFT practitioner Faye Chan to unpack why tips, techniques, and morning routines so often fail to create lasting change — and what actually does.
Faye explains how Emotional Freedom Techniques (tapping) works, why the body "keeps the score," and how patterns anchored in childhood quietly run our careers, relationships, and habits decades later. Through a series of vivid client stories — a five-year-old who couldn't give up her bottle, a business owner stuck under six figures, a chocolate-hoovering emotional eater, and a pilot whose need for control served his career but wrecked his relationships — she shows how rewiring the source of a pattern changes everything downstream. Faye also shares her own story of caning, report cards, and the moment she realised her seven-year-old self had chosen her corporate career.
A genuinely eye-opening conversation for anyone stuck in survival mode, people-pleasing, or their "third burnout" wondering why they can't shake it.

Michelle shares the one step in her manifestation process she keeps forgetting—and the wild story of how a commercial property purchase she'd been stressing over for months finally came through the exact moment she surrendered. Even after teaching manifestation for 4-5 years, she still trips up on this one. Every. Single. Time.

Michelle's on her eat-pray-love solo getaway in Bali and shares why creating space for yourself isn't selfish—it's essential. This episode is about the power of solitude, remembering who you are, and why her biggest manifestation came through the moment she stopped pushing and started softening.

Michelle answers the most common question she gets from nurses: "Was it a tough decision to leave the emergency department or were you quite relaxed about it?" This is for every nurse going over and over whether they should leave their current role—the honest truth about identity, ego, fear, and that quiet voice underneath it all.
