CW: We discuss Alex Pretti's murder at the beginning of this episode

For this special episode, we formally welcome Sybil as our new cohost! Our beloved Carley has a bit too much on her plate with her job and wedding to be a full cohost, but don't worry, she will pop in still.

Thankfully, Sybil is here to step in. She is an incredible nurse and an awesome person, so we are so excited to have her join the team. We chat with her about goals as a podcast host, her own self-care practices, and whether it even matters if you're a good dancer.

This week, we are joined by Dr. Cambria Nwosu! Dr. Nwosu is a Legal Nurse Consultant with over 15 years of experience across clinical practice, healthcare administration, and medical-legal analysis. For those interested in a similar journey from bedside nursing to legal nursing, Dr. Nwosu explains the role of legal nurse consultants in the legal process and discusses the importance of patient advocacy, understanding healthcare policies, and the challenges faced by nurses in documentation and informed consent.

Happy New Year! On today's episode of The Self Care Unit, we discuss New Year's resolutions, exploring the real psychological impact they can have, whether it is worth it for nurses to use them as a method to care for themselves, and the mechanisms behind the "fresh start" effect. We also talk about realistic goals, approach vs. avoidance, and why we should try our best not to compare ourselves to others!
