Intro

Odiva Vasell: (00:00)
Joining us today, a very special guest, Mugs Haugen of Anchored Heart Coaching. She has a business that serves a very underserved sector of our community, the healthcare workers, nurses, and caregivers. She teaches them how to find balance in a life that is totally out of balance and headed toward burnout. Listen now as she joins us in this very special interview with the tips that every one of us can apply to our lives. We have a special guest here today, and she is one who serves the very underserved population of healthcare workers. She is in the industry of giving care to the healthcare and caregiver workers who, without most of us, wouldn’t even be here. So let me welcome my special guest today, Miss Mugs. I love her name because it brings such great energy with it. Like there’s power in that name. So please tell us, who you are and a little bit about you to start with.
Mugs Haugen: (01:36)
Well, thank you, Odiva. I’m honored to be here with you today. Yes, my name is Mugs Haugen, and I’m a registered nurse. I’m still working as a registered nurse, but I’m also a life coach and founder of Anchored Heart Coaching. My goal is to support other nurses and healthcare workers and any kind of caregiver who may be feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, stressed because they work in such a stressful environment on a day-to-day basis, right? And so, you know, that can really take its toll on our own bodies. For us to take a moment to take care of ourselves is really important, and I try and bring that forth for them to take care of their own self-care so that they can truly be of service to others.

Odiva Vasell: (02:31)
And that’s huge. I mean, it’s revolutionary. It’s kind of, you know, common sense. “Hey, you should take care of yourself so that you can take better care of others.” But it’s something, it’s common sense that a lot of us don’t apply. I think, for far too long, women have focused on being the nurturer and the giver, and your value was connected to how well you can take care of your community, your family, your relatives, your neighbors. And as you know, in a profession as a nurse, you’re just there to give out what you have, and it can get depleted. Tell us more.
