ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this heartwarming and deeply inspiring conversation, Christine Marcario sits down with Angie Bailey — a retired trauma nurse turned creative mentor — who discovered the healing magic of calligraphy during a season of complete burnout. Angie shares how years in a high-stress medical environment and an eventual Hashimoto's diagnosis led her to rediscover a childhood passion that would change her life — and now, the lives of others.
From navigating autoimmune challenges to embracing creativity as a form of self-care and meditation, Angie reveals how she transitioned from caring for others in an OR to nurturing the hearts and minds of women through calming calligraphy.
💡 In This Episode, We Explore:
- Angie’s 32-year journey as a registered nurse — and what finally caused her to hit the wall
- How ignoring burnout signs nearly cost her her health (and how she healed from Hashimoto’s)
