Why Your Passion Feels Like a Prison—and How to Escape
Breaking Free from Roles, Expectations, and Self-Doubt.
The Messy, Beautiful Rollercoaster of Being Human
Let me tell you something real—something raw.
Being a healthcare professional, a caregiver, a fixer, a person who’s always there for others, it comes with a cost.
It’s a weight I carry with honor, but also one that presses so hard some days it feels like it might crush me.
But here’s the kicker: I’m not just a nurse. I’m not just a caregiver. I’m a whole human being, full of contradictions, strengths, and flaws.
And so are you.
We all have these roles we play, these labels we live under. For years, I wore mine like armor.
I was the “strong one,” the “dependable one.” The one who showed up, fixed the problem, and never asked for anything in return.
But that armor started to “feel less like protection and more like a cage”.
I thought I had it all figured out—until I didn’t.
The Box We Build Around Ourselves
Life loves to test the boundaries of our comfort zones. I realized I’d spent so much time being what I thought I needed to be for everyone else, that I’d lost track of what I actually wanted. Or worse—who I even was.
You ever feel like that?
Like you’ve been running so hard, for so long, that when you finally stop, you don’t even recognize the person staring back at you?
That’s when the messy stuff started to bubble up. Fear. Doubt. Old insecurities I thought I’d buried a decade ago.
And let’s not skip over the ugly stuff: jealousy. That little voice that whispers, “Why not me? Why is it so easy for them?”
Here’s the thing, though—those feelings? They’re not the enemy.
They’re signals.
They’re pointing to the places in us that still need healing, the parts we’ve been too afraid to face.
But if we don’t face them? We stay in the box. We stay small. We stay stuck.
The Vulnerability Gamble
Stepping out of that box is terrifying. Vulnerability is scary as hell.
Letting people see the real you? That’s a risk. You’ll get hurt. You’ll love people who don’t love you back.
You’ll offer pieces of yourself to people who won’t know what to do with them. But here’s the truth: staying safe doesn’t save you from pain. It just keeps you from growing.
A few years back, I had to make a choice.
I’d spent so much time pouring myself into others that I forgot how to pour back into myself. I realized I was running on empty, burning myself out in the name of being “enough.”
So, I started peeling back the layers. I started asking hard questions.
Who am I when I’m not in “fix-it” mode?
What do I need, want and dream of?
Want to heal on a deeper level?
Stop chasing quick fixes.
I’m a holistic nurse who’s lived through pain, grief, trauma, anxiety & depression and healed naturally.
I’ll ask the right questions, get to the root cause, and guide you to real transformation.
