This week I sat down with one of my favorite people, Nurse Clara, and we discussed our mental health issues, journeys, growth, and experiences. Dialogue that is very important.

Who is the mystery meme maker @memenurseofficial? You’ve seen his memes. They've either made you laugh or offended you. Lol. We all know that nursing is not all unicorns and roses. We all know that our work isn’t just one positive life-saving day after another. It’s tough and demanding. Where do we turn for a vent? We turn to places like the @memenurseofficial profile and laugh when we find other people who can understand our reality. In today’s surprise conversation with him, we talk about some issues in our profession and how we need some space to vent with others who speak the same language.

Food shaming is very prevalent on social media.

We all have that ONE thing we always turn to in times of stress or sadness or trauma, even boredom. My one thing is food. Comfort eating helped me through abusive relationships, losing my job, and every other up and down moment in my roller coaster life. In these next few episodes, I’m opening up about my struggle with emotional eating.

I was faced with the unpleasant reality that the consequences for my actions would be difficult. I had succeeded at making an impulsive and reckless decision that would throw me into a pit of very humbling reality. So, you might assume that I learned a lesson and these impulsive reckless actions ceased...think again.

Katie Duke hosts the ONLY podcast that dives into the raw and unfiltered, real shit that we all actually go through but nobody wants to talk about. Yes she's educated, but she keeps it real, she curses a lot, she's been through some pretty heavy shit in her lifetime, and she knows that many of you have as well. And for the 1% of you who haven’t failed miserably at something at some point in your life, don’t worry, Karen, there’s still time. Subscribe to Bad Decisions on your favorite podcast platform, and follow Katie online @thekatieduke. In the meantime, tell us about your Bad Decisions, and let’s get that shit out in the open.

Trigger Warning: death and serious illness. Healthcare workers are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic and the stories shared in this episode from an inside, firsthand perspective are heavy and potentially triggering.

Today’s episode is a guest episode with the mental health professionals of the ShrinkChicks podcast, Emmalee and Jen. We have a powerful conversation about my experience working on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis as a nurse. We discuss my firsthand experiences from a New York Hospital (right after a major break-up, mind you), my own severe case of COVID, how the work affected my mental health, burnout, and switching careers. I also share why I left the nursing profession all together, what I am doing now, and why part of my new mission is to help nurses find their passion.

Our hearts are heavy with the passing of Ebi (@nurselifern @ebi_eats) this past week. We first met in 2014 and I can honestly say he was one of the most genuine humans I’ve ever known.

I want to honor his legacy and re-release the first 2 episodes of this podcast, of which I had the honor of interviewing him in a very candid one on one (which was actually the only time he was on the receiving end of an interview - something we both got a kick out of). 

Here’s to you Ebi, your impact, your legacy, your influence. We love you.

As you guys know, I resigned from my full-time hospital position at the end of 2020 due to burnout and bullying, and have grown my Instagram platform to be a major source of my income, which I love! However, last week, the head of Instagram made an announcement that has a lot of us content creators frustrated and, frankly, pissed off. This week, I talk about NOT following the popular trends, a message that can apply to many aspects of life.

Why do we continue to keep people in our lives who contribute nothing? Why do we stay in relationships that offer no value other than historic nostalgia? Why do we stay in jobs that we LOATHE which do not value us? I call it keeping dead weight around. It's time to spring clean your life.

This week on Bad Decisions, I talk about something that really felt heavy on my heart- how nurses are truly not given the appreciation and recognition we deserve, and how hospitals across the country are reaffirming this feeling with the bullshit nurse's week gifts.

It's crazy what can happen in a year. 12 months ago I was in a very dark place, and this episode is a very raw, very real look at the importance of mental health awareness.
