And I became a CRNA at 39. While working full-time. Raising a family. And refusing to believe it was too late.
How I Got Here is a weekly show about the real story behind nurse transformation.
From the moment everything fell apart, to the decision that changed everything, to who they became on the other side — and beyond.
You'll get a no-holds-barred look from real nurses at what it actually takes to go from stuck, burned out, or playing small — to stepping fully into the nurse you were always meant to become.
All to help you go from surviving your nursing career to transforming it — with more purpose, more income, and the courage to go first.
