When life as a nurse feels heavy and burnout starts to blur your sense of purpose, sometimes the only way forward… is through.

In this inspiring conversation, host Caroline Danna, MSN, RN sits down with Gaige Matthews, former ER nurse and founder of Beyond Bedside Fitness, to unpack what it really takes to rebuild your confidence, discipline, and faith when you’re running on empty.

Gaige has helped over 800 nurses transform their health and mindset through her nurse-specific coaching program that blends fitness, nutrition, and faith-based encouragement. Together, Caroline and Gaige dive deep into:

• How to overcome nurse burnout and rediscover your “why”
• Building discipline over motivation—and why small consistent habits always win
• Letting go of the “all-or-nothing” mindset and creating sustainable routines that actually fit a 12-hour-shift lifestyle
• How faith and mindset can shift your energy, confidence, and career
• Practical steps to set boundaries, prioritize wellness, and start feeling good in your body again

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of exhaustion, guilt, and self-neglect, this episode is your reminder that you are not alone—and that you have the power to rebuild from the inside out.

✨ Tune in to learn how to move through burnout, strengthen your faith, and reclaim your confidence—one intentional choice at a time.
