Welcome to Episode 24 of the Next Level Voices Series on Kultivation w/ Kevie!
In this empowering and compassionate conversation, I sit down with Registered Nurse and stress-relief coach Jenny Lytle, RN, BSN, to talk about the emotional weight of caregiving and the often-overlooked need for nurses and caregivers to care for themselves, too.
Jenny brings over 30 years of experience in hospice, mental health, and home health nursing, and she opens up about the moment she realized she had lost herself outside of her role as a caregiver. She shares how years of pouring into others without boundaries led to burnout, and how losing her mother became a pivotal turning point that reshaped her purpose and priorities.
We talk honestly about the pressure within healthcare to remain strong at all costs, the guilt many caregivers feel when prioritizing themselves, and why one-size-fits-all self-care simply does not work. Jenny introduces her Becoming Method™ and reflects on the inspiration behind her book, Self-Care Isn’t Selfish, emphasizing the importance of personalized wellness practices that support longevity, compassion, and emotional sustainability.
This episode is for nurses, caregivers, and anyone who gives endlessly to others and needs the reminder that taking care of yourself is not selfish, but essential for showing up fully and authentically.
