My 2 Cents…
On energy transference

Nurse leaders, can we need to talk about energy for a second?

Not in a trendy “good vibes only” kind of way.

I mean the real, observable energetic transference that happens within our teams every day.

Healthcare environments carry energy.

Teams feel when leadership is disconnected.
Teams feel when communication lacks emotional intelligence.
And they also feel tension, urgency, avoidance, burnout, resentment, and psychological unsafety long before it’s ever formally addressed.

As leaders, the frequency we consistently operate from matters.

And when I say “frequency,” I’m referring to the emotional and nervous system state we repeatedly bring into our environments:

✔️calm or chaos
✔️groundedness or urgency
✔️trust or fear
✔️clarity or confusion
✔️responsiveness or reactivity

Because leadership energy transfers.

A dysregulated leader will eventually create a dysregulated culture.

Not intentionally. But behavior, tone, emotional management, and nervous system patterns ripple outward into teams.

Healthcare has historically prioritized operational competency while overlooking emotional sustainability.

But emotional intelligence is not a “soft skill.”
It is infrastructure.

Especially in environments where nurses are expected to constantly absorb stress, trauma, urgency, grief, and emotional labor.

If we want healthier teams, stronger retention, and psychologically safe cultures, we cannot continue separating leadership development from emotional regulation and self-awareness.

Burnout is not only physical exhaustion.
Often, it is energetic depletion.

And emotionally intelligent leadership requires us to become aware of the energy we consistently contribute to the environments we lead.

And this is why emotional intelligence matters. This is why nervous system regulation matters. This is why self-awareness matters.

Your body was never meant to carry everybody else while abandoning yourself.

If nothing else, I want my daughters to see that feminine energy is strong. That softness is not weakness. That staying grounded is wisdom. And that true alignment is living a life that honors your heart, your peace, and your core desires instead of constantly performing for the world.

I want them to know they are allowed to belong to themselves.

Everybody keeps asking women to be “less emotional” while ignoring the fact that our bodies are communicating with us constantly.

My 2 Cents on kindness in leadership…

One of the kindest things a leader can offer their team is clarity. Not:
➖passive communication.
➖ vague expectations.
➖“reading between the lines.”
➖ silence disguised as professionalism.

Clarity.

✔️Clear expectations.
✔️Clear accountability.
✔️Clear priorities.
✔️Clear feedback.
✔️Clear boundaries.

Because unclear leadership creates anxious teams.

I think many leaders avoid clarity because they’re trying to avoid discomfort. They don’t want to disappoint people. They don’t want conflict. They don’t want to be perceived as “too direct.”

But emotional intelligence is not the avoidance of hard conversations.

It’s the ability to navigate hard conversations with honesty, empathy, and accountability.

As nurse leaders, we cannot say we care about psychological safety while simultaneously forcing people to decode our communication.

And honestly? Some of the most emotionally exhausted teams I’ve encountered weren’t struggling from workload alone.

They were struggling from ambiguity.

Unclear priorities, expectations, communication and ownership.

Clarity reduces emotional labor.

When people know where they stand, they can focus their energy on the work instead of anxiety management.

Real kindness is honesty with compassion.
Not dishonesty wrapped in politeness.

That applies to leadership too.

It’s still Nurses Week 5/6-12, and some of y’all are made you didn’t make it to Miami for .

Some of yall are also salty that your employer didn’t celebrate you the way you anticipated.

Honestly, you’re not really mad about the pizza. ( toy site a slice anyway). You’re mad because you don’t feel valued.

And if we’re being truthful, half the time, you haven’t even defined what “valued” looks like for you.

So now everybody’s guessing, you’re disappointed.

At some point, we have to stop outsourcing our worth and start defining it.

Let’s talk about it—

Do you actually know what makes you feel valued, or are you waiting for someone else to figure it out?

Four Black women.
Nurses. Leaders. Entrepreneurs. Sorors. Mothers. Friends.

Every year, we come to Miami for , and every year it reminds me that success isn’t just about titles and sacrifice anymore.

It’s softness.
It’s luxury.
It’s laughter.
It’s sisterhood.
It’s ordering whatever we want off the menu because we can.
It’s being surrounded by women who understand the weight of what we carry and still choose joy anyway.

Last night felt like alignment.
Not survival mode. Not burnout.
Just beautiful Black women enjoying the life they worked hard to create.

And honestly, that’s the flex now.

Your burnout isn’t random.
Your frustration isn’t dramatic.
Your anxiety isn’t “just part of the job.”

It’s data.

And the real question is—
What are you doing with it?
