It begins with a purpose…
I’ve always felt like I was meant for more. Even in a career built on caring for others—pouring my heart into every shift as an emergency department nurse—it still didn’t feel like enough. I wanted a purpose that was bigger than me. Bigger than anything I could imagine—and then 10x that.
I wanted to build something from the ground up. Something that one day I could look back on and say, “Yeah, I built that shit.”
But where do you even start?
What steps do you take?
Is it even possible? Reachable?
Here’s what I’ve learned: if you want to do something—just start. Execute. Figure it out as you go. Change, adapt, edit, pivot—as many times as you need to until it clicks.
Look around. People have built extraordinary companies and movements who once had zero clue what they were doing. No internet. No social media. No YouTube. Nothing. And here we are in 2025—with everything at our fingertips. You can learn anything. You have AI. You have podcasts. You have access to knowledge that generations before us couldn’t even dream of.
So honestly, there are no excuses left.
That’s what this is all about. I took my passions and built something I truly believe can shift culture—a movement that reminds people that you have to work hard to get somewhere in life. You have to change your mindset, go against the grain, and be relentless. No shortcuts. No excuses. Because excuses will get you nowhere fast.
And the best part? This is only the beginning.
If you’re reading this, thank you. I mean that. You being here means everything. I know that with time, this movement will spark a cultural revolution around all things Mental Toughness.
I’m here to translate it—to show you that mental toughness is the key to everything you’ve ever wanted. It’s uncomfortable. It’s gritty. It’s fucking hard. But it’s worth it.
If you’re ready to stop taking shortcuts, if you’re done making excuses, and you want to start stacking days of discipline and hard work—then you’re in the right place.
Follow me on Instagram @TheMentalToughnessRN where the Core-4—Mindset, Toughness, Relentlessness, and No Excuses—is delivered every single day.
Be ready. Be inspired.
And get ready to set a new standard for yourself.
Because once you do, you’ll look back and say,
“I’m never going back to that place again.”
And that’s when the rest becomes history.
