Hospice Nurse Julie Opens Up About Her Sobriety Journey (With Julie McFadden)

Nurse.org Season 1 Episode 18

In this bonus episode, Hospice Nurse Julie gets honest about her sobriety. Nine years alcohol-free, and she’ll be the first to tell you—quitting was the hardest thing she’s ever done. Also? The best.

We talk about what addiction can look like inside the nursing world—
the silence, the shame, the “functional” spirals no one wants to admit.
Julie breaks it wide open.

If you’re struggling, or love someone who is, this one’s for you.
Sobriety is possible. Support is real. And you are absolutely not alone.
