Episode 25: Nursing, Sleep, and Becoming Your Healthiest Self with Jennifer Johnson
In this soul-nourishing episode of The F.E.E.L Podcast, we welcome nurse, author, and multitasking mom Jennifer Johnson for a powerful conversation on burnout, healing, and reclaiming your energy.
Jennifer opens up about the toll of night shifts, the sacrifices of motherhood, and how sleep has become her ultimate act of self-care. From working through the peak of COVID to writing her book Nursing Intuition, she shares hard-won wisdom on what it truly means to live in alignment with your health—mind, body, and soul.
Together, we explore:
The link between sleep and emotional wellness
Surviving burnout in caregiving roles
The power of spiritual grounding and self-reflection
Balancing family, work, and rest in real life
Lessons from Nursing Intuition—and why your story matters
Whether you’re a healthcare worker, a tired parent, or someone craving deeper rest and renewal, Jennifer’s insights will inspire you to listen to your body and nurture yourself from the inside out.
Tune in now to discover why rest isn’t optional—it’s transformational..
Ways to Engage: Start focusing on your sleep schedule. Are you getting enough hours of rest? Do you wake up a lot throughout your sleep cycle? Are you on your phone right before you go to sleep or right after you wake up? Sleep is one of the most important aspects of your health, and we should be treating it as such.
