I’m on my feet all day in the hospital, and I us I’m on my feet all day in the hospital, and I usually run on my days off— it’s how I reset. 👩🏻‍⚕️👟 That combo doesn’t leave much room for recovery, so support matters 👏🏻👏🏻 I’ve been using @CopperFit compression socks for my shifts and the ICE Knee Sleeve when I run. The socks help with leg fatigue, and the sleeve gives my knees the kind of support that actually feels good to wear. What do you use to recover after long shifts or workouts? 👇🏻 Link in bio to try @copperfit ✨ #CopperFitPartner #NurseRunner #CompressionSupport #recoveryiskey
If you’re working 12s and trying to lose fat… If you’re working 12s and trying to lose fat… stop doing this 🙅🏻‍♀️ When I was a brand new nurse, my “nutrition” on shift looked like: • Breakfast = coffee • Lunch = yogurt + granola (hey, at least it had protein?) • Maybe a snack if I had time • Then I’d come home starving and eat whatever I could grab 🫠 I thought I was being “healthy” by keeping calories low… but I was constantly exhausted and frustrated that my body wasn’t changing. Here’s what I wish I knew then: You can’t expect your body to lose fat when it’s chronically under-fueled, over-stressed, and barely recovering. Instead, try this 👉🏻 • Pre-shift breakfast: overnight oats, egg white sandwich, or a protein smoothie with banana + oats • Lunch: turkey wrap + hummus + veggies, quinoa bowl with grilled chicken, or leftovers • Snacks: Greek yogurt + fruit, Chomps + rice cakes, protein bar + apple • Dinner: ground turkey taco bowl with rice, peppers, salsa + avocado, or high-protein pasta with ground beef marinara + zucchini Want more support with your health and fitness as a nurse? 👇🏻 Drop “FREEBIE” below and I’ll send you my free guide that breaks down exactly how to balance your nutrition, fitness, and recovery with a busy nursing schedule 👩🏻‍⚕️💪🏻✨
Flashback to 2019… I was working out 7 days a we Flashback to 2019… I was working out 7 days a week, jumping from one random workout to the next. Sure, they were fun—but I wasn’t seeing the progress I wanted. I wasn’t tracking my lifts, wasn’t focused on strength, and definitely wasn’t prioritizing recovery. I thought doing more would lead to better results 🫠 Fast forward to today: I train 4 days a week, follow a structured program, and treat rest days like they’re part of the plan (because they are). It took me years to shift this mindset, but it’s one of the best changes I’ve made for both my body and my sanity. If I were starting over and actually wanted to change my body in the gym, here’s exactly what I’d focus on 👇🏻 • Follow a structured strength program for 4–6 weeks • Stick with key lifts and apply progressive overload • Track your weight or reps weekly and push for progress • Use the RPE scale: aim for an 8–9 by the final reps • Cut back on the endless cardio • Prioritize recovery: rest days, quality sleep, and enough food I just opened 2 spots for 1:1 coaching this month. Let’s get you on a plan that actually works. DM me STRONG or click the link in my bio to apply! 💪🏻

I’ve been a nurse for 14 years now. Time really I’ve been a nurse for 14 years now. Time really flies. In honor of Nurses Week, I wanted to share my journey—because it’s been anything but linear. I started on a med-surg floor in Norwalk, CT, then moved into the ICU after a year. Two years later, I became a travel nurse and moved to Southern California. That’s when I really fell in love with fitness and got certified as a personal trainer, stepping away from the ICU for a bit to focus on preventive health. Then the pandemic hit. I went back to the ICU during one of the hardest, yet most meaningful seasons of my career. Around that time, I also started online coaching—supporting hundreds of women, many of them nurses, in building sustainable health habits. That passion led me to build my own coaching company in 2023. Since then, I’ve worked in ICU, patient placement, trained new hires, served on professional committees, and eventually left the bedside for a full-time role in patient placement. And now, I’m in a new season: back in school to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Why psych? Two reasons: 1. As a coach, I’ve seen firsthand that if your mental health isn’t okay, it’s hard to make progress in any other area. 2. My dad passed away after struggling with alcoholism for years—and I want to help others who are silently fighting the same battles. This career has knocked me down more times than I can count. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything 🫶🏻 To my fellow nurses—I’d love to hear how long you’ve been in the field and what area you work in. Drop it below! 👇🏻 Happy Nurses Week— thank you all for everything you do 🩷👩🏻‍⚕️✨🩺 #nursesweek #nursingjourney #nurselife #nursepractitionerstudent #fitnurse #nursecoach #nursesofinstagram #wellnesscoach
If I could go back and talk to my 20-something sel If I could go back and talk to my 20-something self, this is what I’d say… 💪🏻👟 As someone who overtrained, under-fueled during marathon training, never took a rest day, and constantly chose workouts over sleep… You don’t need to do more, you need to do smarter. Rest is productive. Fuel matters. Sleep isn’t optional. And jumping from workout to workout isn’t getting you anywhere. It took me years (and some injuries) to figure this out— but now I coach women through this exact mindset shift 👏🏻👏🏻 Which one of these truths hits home for you? 2 spots left for 1:1 coaching this month! 💪🏻 DM me coaching for more info ✨ #fitnessjourney #progressnotperfection #fitnesscoachforwomen #onlinefitnesscoach #fitnesstips
