Fearless Friday: Stop Expecting the System to Save You

We often hear Black leaders say, “Silence is violence.”And it's true — whether we’re talking about racism or the workplace systems that are silently harming nurses every single day.

But let’s be honest:Isn’t your silence just as dangerous when it comes to the conditions threatening your:

  • Health

  • Mindset

  • Faith

  • Career growth?

Fear has killed more dreams, more careers, and more lives than any disease ever could.

I know why you stay silent.I know why you hesitate.I know the system punishes those who dare to speak up.

But here’s the part we rarely say out loud:

Maybe the system didn’t betray you.Maybe you’ve been betraying yourself.

Because when you expect a system — a thing that has no breath in it — to nurture you, protect you, or care for you like a living being, you give it more power than it was ever supposed to have.

A system cannot betray you. It was never breathing life into you to begin with.

What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid to Let Go?

So many nurses are exhausted — not just from work, but from the crushing expectation that their hospital, manager, or HR department will one day "finally do the right thing."

But that day rarely comes.

Burnout is not a moral failure. It’s not a lack of motivation.Burnout is your body screaming: "Let go of what cannot save you."

When you let go of expecting the system to be your protector, you make room for the real Provider to do what only He can do.

That’s how I built the Be Brave™ Book Bundle — to help nurses like you walk this out:

  • How to protect your career from the inside

  • How to rebuild your faith while the system stays broken

  • How to recover without unnecessary labels, medications, or permanent injury

  • And how to chart a new course — one led by wisdom, not fear

Take a Corner — Not a Knee

When you're tired, when you're knocked down, don't take a knee and surrender.

Take a corner.

Because career burnout is the fight of your life — for your life.

Fight like hell. You win. Fearless Friday: Stop Expecting the System to Save You

The Be Brave™ Book Bundle is your corner.Real stories. Real tools. Real faith.It’s time to stop waiting. It’s time to stop expecting a broken system to rescue you.

Let go — and take your first step toward full recovery.
