If you have emotions, this episode is for you...😉 You've blamed the short staffing. You've blamed the charting. You've blamed the administration. But what if the real root of your burnout is something no hospital policy can fix? In this episode, I sit down with Brooke Billingsley — owner and founder of Task to Touch training videos for nurses — to talk about the one skill nursing school never taught you: Emotional Intelligence. Brooke shares how EQ is the missing link between the nurse you are and the nurse you were called to be, and why learning to receive yourself with compassion is the first step to showing up fully for your patients.

In this episode we cover:

• Why the nurse-patient relationship starts with the relationship you have with yourself
• How perfectionism is quietly fueling your stress and eroding your resilience
• What Emotional Intelligence actually looks like on a busy nursing unit
• The difference between prioritizing tasks and prioritizing what matters most
• Why self-compassion isn't selfish — it's clinical

About Brooke Billingsley: Brooke is the owner and founder of Task to Touch, a training video platform helping nurses build resilience through the power of Emotional Intelligence. Her work is transforming how nurses show up — for their patients and for themselves.
