If someone has told you they appreciate you and still gave you an unsafe assignment you already understand the difference between being valued and being protected.

This week we're talking about the second Nurse Love Language: Protection. Not boundaries the buzzword, but the real, structural, embodied experience of having someone in your corner. Of knowing that if something goes wrong, you won't be standing there holding all the consequences alone.

We get into the nurse who won't call out and what's really driving that. The difference between resilience and being repeatedly exposed to things you never should have had to become resilient to deal with in the first place. The bully everyone works around because leadership won't move. And what happens when the absence of protection becomes so normal that speaking up is treated like whining or weakness.

This stuff doesn’t stay at work! We talk about home life too.

If you've ever been praised for your strength while the thing that required it was completely ignored, then you’ll love/hate this episode (read: you really need to listen to it).
