Polarization doesn’t just divide opinions — it fractures communities, erodes trust, and weighs heavily on our mental health.
In a time of growing division and misinformation, how do we rebuild connection and belonging?

What if I said to you that sometimes painful endings are the start of something beautiful?
What if I said to you that as a nurse, we do not give ourselves grace and time to heal (we are really bad at this).
Change can be healing. The Gritty Nurse Season 6 is here!

The comeback is always stronger than the setback.
For anyone who's ever poured their heart into a passion project only to face burnout, this one's for you. I needed to step away to remember my "why." @atypicalpodcast.bsky.social

Seriously, the start of the work week or the start of a nursing/healthcare rotation can drop a ton of bricks on your vibe. That wave of "ugh, here we go again" anxiety? Been there, felt that./1

Ever tell yourself that life will finally settle down after this next hurdle? For a brief moment, it seems to—and then life smacks you with the unexpected. Job loss, a new love, divorce papers, your teenager’s puberty, a health scare, a new life. Good or bad, it’s always change. /1

I love how Poilievre spent two years and an election trying to enrage Canadians into fury over how much they spend on taxes but then loses the election and his own seat… and charges Canadians taxpayers $1.38M to run in a byelection instead of resigning.

This week, I was reminded that I am exactly where I am meant to be. There are times in our lives when we may seek out opportunities, changes in plans, employment, or even a new career. Not everything is FOR YOU. Not everything is MEANT for you. Not every space DESERVES you.

Doug Ford is solely responsible for the ongoing healthcare crisis in Ontario because healthcare in the provinces is the jurisdiction of the premier. Ford failed nurses, physicians and patients. He could try to help us, but he was too busy suing nurses.

Yes!!! It has always been about this, but now we are seeing it completely unmasked in it’s truest ugly form. My dad left the US for Canada many years ago with us and said “the biggest crime in the US today, is to be poor.” Let’s not pet this terrible shadow infiltrate the great white north.
I’m still waiting for people to realize that this isn’t about the right or left or center of politics. This is about the rich vs the poor.
