In this episode, I sit down with Jenny Lytle, a nurse with over 30 years of experience specializing in hospice and end-of-life care. Jenny shares the deeply personal story that led her to a new mission: the sudden passing of her mom, who was also a nurse. In her grief, Jenny had a profound realization—her mom, like so many caregivers, had dedicated her life to others, often at the expense of her own well-being.
Determined to break this cycle, Jenny embarked on a journey of self-discovery. She embraced coaching and a renewed focus on her own health, learning a critical lesson: caring for others begins with caring for yourself. This transformation inspired her to help other nurses and caregivers avoid the burnout and exhaustion she saw her own mother endure.
Now the author of Self-Care Isn't Selfish: The Compassionate Nurse's Step-by-Step Guide to Stress Relief, Jenny has made it her life's work to empower those who give so much to others. She discusses her proprietary Becoming Method®, a system that provides practical, personalized strategies for managing stress and prioritizing self-care.
We explore why self-care isn't selfish—it's an act of compassion that allows you to show up more fully for those who depend on you. Jenny offers actionable advice for caregivers who feel stretched thin and reminds us that tending to our own needs is the only way to ensure we can continue to care for others with greater impact.
