I did something completely out of my comfort zone today. I left my position as a Registered Nurse at the Cleveland Clinic after 6 years of service. It hasn't sunk in yet. It doesn't seem real. I just have to get this off my chest!
My healthcare career began back in high school. My junior year to be exact. I attended a vocational school in order to become a State Tested Nursing Assistant. From there I moved on to study for my LPN and eventually obtained my Associates Degree of Nursing (ADN). So after all of that time and money spent towards my education, why would I choose to just walk away from it?
In February of 2013, my daughter was born. When you hear people say a child changes your life, it is so very true. I will be thanking my sweet little girl for eternity. She has no idea that her existence has lead me to my true purpose in life. I cant wait to share it with her.
Two days after she was born I remember sitting in a wheelchair waiting at the hospital doors to get picked up by my husband to go home. While sitting there, I got a phone call from my HR department. They told me I was not eligible for a paid maternity leave. I was extremely disappointed to receive the news on the day I was bringing my baby girl home. My husband and I were relying on that source of income and in a two minute phone call it was taken away. Long story short, there was a miss-communication as to my maternity leave was cut from 12 weeks down to 5 weeks. It just didn't seem fair.
I couldn't sit around and do nothing about the situation. So, I decided to reach out to a couple peer nurses to see if they knew of any jobs that I could do from home. Low and behold I ran into an opportunity that has changed my life physically, emotionally, and financially. To hear more about this please click the video link below!

I know it is my sole purpose is to help and serve others, hence why nursing seemed like the right path for me. But my heart just wasn't in it 100% anymore. That is not fair to the patients I was caring for OR my co- workers. Through this amazing opportunity I will be able to help a lot more people and in a very different way. I will be helping people prevent illness, gain confidence in themselves, and even earn an extra income for their family. The coolest part is that I can do it all from home. This gives me more time with my husband and daughter. NO DAYCARE needed.
I have never felt so alive while helping people reach their health, fitness, and financial goals. I have been blessed with an amazing clientele who believe in me and I believe in them. I am so thankful for each and everyone of you. I am also very grateful for my teammates and leaders who give unending support and encouragement.
I have heard so many people say they wish they could reduce their hours as a nurse, or even quit to be home with their family. My answer to you is that YOU CAN. But you are the only one who can make that happen. I am by no means saying you have to become a Beachbody Coach, but figure out a way to make it happen. Life is too short to spend doing something that makes you unhappy.
I found a hobby and it became my passion and purpose. Now it is my mission to help as many people as I can to do the same. Taking a leap of faith to create a life by design is scary, but extremely exhilarating.
Follow your heart, dream big and never give up.
