Why I Wrote This Book
For nearly two decades in healthcare, I witnessed the emotional and energetic toll caregiving can take and experienced it myself.
Healthcare professionals are taught how to care for others, but rarely how to process what they carry, protect their energy, or recover after a demanding shift.
I wrote Empaths in Scrubs to share the practical tools I wish I had earlier: nervous system regulation, healthy boundaries, energy protection, and intentional recovery.
Because those who care for the world deserve care, too.
