#401: Brain in Overdrive? Try This!

If your mind refuses to turn off when it’s time to rest, there’s a good chance you’re a nurse or nursing student. In this episode, I’m diving into the power of brain dumping: a simple, no-pressure practice that helps you clear mental clutter, reduce stress, and get the kind of rest you actually need. Whether you’re a nursing student drowning in deadlines or a nurse who’s been running on fumes, this is for you. You’ll learn what brain dumping is, why it works, how it helps your sleep and focus, and how to try it for yourself. I’ll even guide you through a 2-minute brain dump during the episode—so if you’re ready to stop the mental spiraling and make room for some peace, let’s do it. ___________________ Full Transcript - Read the article and view references FREE CLASS - If all you've heard are nursing school horror stories, then you need this class!
