On this episode of "Ask Sally," we're joined by an inspiring guest, Eva Zee, who is making waves in the healthcare space. Eva's journey began as a phlebotomist, and she later transitioned to becoming a nurse in critical care. However, she felt the weight of exhaustion, stress, and overwhelm due to her demanding roles and the challenges of being a nurse, especially during the COVID pandemic. She lost touch with her true self and her passion for nursing. Eva's turning point came when she decided to follow her heart's calling and embarked on a journey of self-discovery through yoga. This path led her to become a mind-body specialist, helping people rediscover themselves while she herself went through a transformation. Eva's mission is to empower nurses to say no without guilt, find inner peace, and balance their own well-being with their dedication to helping others. Throughout the conversation, Eva and Sally discuss the importance of self-care for nurses, the challenges nurses face in maintaining their well-being, and the transformative power of mindfulness, movement, and proper sleep. Eva's journey serves as a testament to the fact that when individuals prioritize their own health and happiness, they become better equipped to make a positive impact on the lives of others.   Connect with Sally and the Sparkle World:  Website: https://sparkleclassacademy.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sallysparkscousins/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@SallySparksCousins Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SallySparksCousins Connect with Eva Zee:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/evazeewellness/ Website: https://www.instagram.com/evazeewellness/
