In partnership with

Welcome to The Bold Brief—

You are a member of this community of top-notch expert nurses and healthcare professionals who aspire to be “bold” in career and life.

We want to be bold in our life’s purpose, and bold in life and career choices so that we can live with authenticity, balance, and meaningful challenges, driving forward with confidence.

So, to the nurse who is burned out but still shows up every day …

Feeling

Burnout does not always look like breaking down. Sometimes it looks like holding it all together too well.

Silently.

Relentlessly.

Automatically, you already know how to keep going. You have proven that.

And, I want to acknowledge that first because … most people won’t or don’t. No matter how many nurses I talk to each week, each year. I have the same ache for you.

I want to ask you gently: At what cost?

You show up when it’s hard. You hold the line when it would be easier to disappear. You care even when the system does not.

You might still smile at patients and collogues. Still train the new hire. Still work the extra shift, because someone has to.

And yet, you go home, utterly →Exhausted. Detached. Empty.

Not because you’re weak. But because you are overused. And no one, no matter how strong or skilled, can sustain that feeling without impact.

Thank you to new sponsor, Pacaso!

How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential

Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.

Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.

No wonder 10K+ everyday people are taking the chance on Pacaso.

Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.

Invest While You Still Can

Knowing

Burnout does not always scream. Sometimes it whispers.

You feel disconnected from the work that once gave you purpose.

You wake up dreading the next 12 or 14 hours before your feet hit the floor.

You fantasize about leaving…quitting…changing … but feel too tired to plan what comes next.

Let me say this clearly: You are not the problem. But you do deserve a solution.

That solution may not be a new job or role tomorrow. It may start with a setting a boundary. Taking a break to rest, clear your mind.

A truth told aloud. It may begin with asking:

I don’t have quick answers. But I do know this: You don’t have to burn down everything to start building something better. You don’t have to quit nursing to quit suffering. And you don’t have to do this part alone.

Becoming

You’ve already proven you can keep going.

The question now is:

I’ll be here when you’re ready to ask that question out loud.
