You've Seen the Movement. Now Hear the Story.

The Nurse Wellness Podcast is back!

Over the past several years, you've watched the Connecticut Nurse Wellness Project grow—from an idea to the first statewide nurse wellness initiative in Connecticut. You've seen the milestones, the partnerships, the statewide survey, the national presentations, and the movement taking shape.

Now it's time to hear the story behind it.

In Season 2: Building a Movement, Dr. Wendy Garvin Mayo takes you behind the scenes to share exactly how the Connecticut Nurse Wellness Project came to life—the vision, the fear, the setbacks, the leadership lessons, and the strategies that transformed one idea into statewide action.

This isn't just the story of one initiative.

It's a blueprint for nurses and healthcare professionals who believe they can create meaningful change in healthcare.

Whether you're passionate about wellness, leadership, research, innovation, education, advocacy, or solving a problem in your own community, this season will inspire you to think bigger, lead with purpose, and build something that lasts.

Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back to the Nurse Wellness Podcast. I'm Dr. Wendy Garbameo. And after a brief, brief hiatus, I'm excited to return with what I believe is one of the most important seasons we've ever created. Since I've been gone, I've been building. I have still been doing work in stress management, emotional intelligence, wellness with nurses, legacy nurses, student nurses, and I'm really excited to share with you about what I've built over the past few months. But before I get to that, I have two questions for you. One is, have you ever had an idea that felt bigger than you? The second question is, have you ever had an idea that you couldn't stop thinking about, but one that also scared you? Well, that's exactly where the Connecticut Nurse Wellness Project began. What started off as one question, how do we truly move the needle on nurse wellness, grew into the first statewide nurse wellness initiative in Connecticut. But this season isn't just about what we build here in Connecticut, it's about how we built it. Over the next 10 episodes, I'm taking you behind the scenes to share the vision, the fears, the setbacks, the lessons, and the leadership it took to turn one question into a statewide movement. If you've ever dreamed of creating change in healthcare, whether it's through research, leadership, innovation, community, advocacy, this is the season for you. Because healthcare doesn't change when we wait for someone else. It changes when someone decides to build. Season two is about building a movement. New episodes will drop every week. So make sure you subscribe to the Nurse Wellness Podcast. And if you're ready to think bigger and build something that lasts, I'll love for you to join this journey with me. Again, I'm Dr. Wendy Garbameo, and this is the Nurse Wellness Podcast. Let's build something that changes healthcare. I'll see you in the next episode.
