Why I Left My Hospital Nursing Job After Motherhood | Slow Living & Life Lately

After a year away, I’m back on YouTube.

In this video, I share why I chose not to return to my hospital nursing job after maternity leave and what life looks like now. Slower days, motherhood focused, lots of home cooked meals and building my own business in the small gaps in between it all.

This is a quiet, honest vlog about career shifts, choosing alignment, and navigating motherhood in a new season of life.

If you’re a new mom, a nurse questioning your career, or someone craving a slower, more intentional life, I hope this video resonates with you.
