A Nurse + Grief + Alcohol + Adderall— Finding Hope for Healers

About this episode

Kate shares her journey through addiction, grief, and the challenges of nursing, ultimately finding new coping mechanisms.

Kate started her addiction journey at a young age, using substances as a salve for her terrible grief. Later, drugs and alcohol helped her to cope with the transition to nursing and the unending demands of a hospital setting. But as with all addicts, this strategy worked until it didn’t….Kate eventually had to find a new way to cope if she was going to survive past her 30s.
