End the Silence - Stories of Nurses

Birth, Death, and the Evolving Cycle with Jessica Sobey / ETS10

Season 2 Episode 10

It's my pleasure to highlight one of my dearest client's of the Nurse Rx Community. Jess and I have been working together for over 18 months and are truly kindred souls.

Jess is an RN in Maine USA and after dabbling in a few different areas of health and nursing, including being a member of her hospitals infectious diseases team, she found her true passion in labor and delivery. She beautifully relates the experience of birth to so many transcendent experiences of life and her heart just sings when she talks about it.

In 2022 she made the brave decision to walk away from her job instead of waiting to be fired for her personal choices regarding the vaccine mandates in her state.  Heartbroken and wary from the exhaustion she was experiencing beforehand giving selflessly and tirelessly to her job, her patients, and her colleagues she witnessed so much unfold that left her morally and ethically at a crossroads, as many others have as well.

Sandra's Key Takeaways

  • Life is a series of birth and death cycles that hold many magical moments, and incredible gifts if we are open to see them and receive them.
  • The fall of the corporate health care system and the unveiling of the mistreatment and abuse of its workers.
  • The hero identity and the difficulty of caring for ourselves when so much is on the line.
  • Trusting that we will land when the world seems to be flipped upside down and you're being thrown into square one of life.
