Join us on the NursePreneurs podcast where our guest, Stacey Stegenga, a former critical care nurse turned real estate entrepreneur, shares her fascinating journey. 

Born and raised on a Michigan farm, Stacey's path took her from joining the US Air Force at 17 to a challenging yet rewarding nursing career, and ultimately, into the world of real estate investing. 

Faced with the financial pressures of healthcare work and inspired by Scott Trench's "Set for Life", Stacey embraced a new financial mindset, delving into house hacking and real estate investments. In this episode, she discusses how she navigated this transition and the insights gained along the way.

Stacey talks about her initial career in the US Air Force and her transition to nursing, where she worked in various critical care areas, including ER, trauma, and flight nursing.

She shares her struggles with the demanding nature of nursing and its impact on her mental health, particularly upon moving to Denver and facing financial hardships.

Stacey discusses her move into real estate, initially starting with house hacking to reduce living costs and later investing in properties in Tampa, where the real estate market offered more opportunities than Denver.

She emphasizes the importance of self-education in real estate, learning through books and podcasts, and overcoming the fear associated with financial decisions.

Through her Instagram account, Stacey aims to inspire and educate others about financial independence and advocates for healthcare reform, particularly mental health support for healthcare professionals.

Clocked Out

Sheriff Patrick Cahillane will tell you that as an elected official of the people, his first responsibility is to the community. But as part of that citizen responsibility, Sheriff Cahillane is also progressive in his thought processes and actions, and as such implements programs and opportunities that will not only help those in his charge, behind the wall, but also those who are released and are in the process of re-entering the community, and like on part of this day, it’s all about creating a human connection between the incarcerated men and a handful of floppy eared Nubian goats.

No one could ever accuse Liz Buxton, Director of Operations at the Western MA Food Processing Center, of having a small heart, especially when it comes to Fair Chance Hiring. Even her wife wrote about her on LinkedIn after this episode aired on @WHMP Radio.  ‘My wife constantly amazes me. She's an incredible human and inspirational leader. She leads with her heart. It's what makes her, and her impact, so special.’  And her impact is special.  Just ask her Floor Supervisor, Scott Savoie, who served five years behind the wall before finding work at the Food Processing Center.  As he puts it, he wasn’t sure that he’d ever find a job once he returned to the community.  In his former life he was a mechanic, but years of bending over an engine had taken its toll.  With Liz and the Food Processing Center, Scott is able to take his mechanical skills and transfer them to the upkeep of the processing equipment.  He’ll be the first one to tell you that having the opportunity to start a new career and work with Liz has been two of his greatest blessings.

The Hustler Files Ep. 62 - Compassion is the #1 Ingredient for a 2nd Chance

[Intro]
Yeah, we've been through hell and back,
But the light always finds a way,
From the shadows we rise, stronger than ever.

[Pre-Chorus]
All the love, all the pain, made me who I am,
Stronger now, brighter days, no longer in a jam.
With my heart open wide, together we stand,
No more worries, no more pain, we've made our plan.

[Chorus]
Rising from the shadows, feel the glow,
No more looking back, just letting go.
Heart's still healing, but I see the light,
Moving forward, everything's so bright.

Easier to breathe when you let things fade,
Thought we were forever, but I'm not afraid.
Listening to my soul, I won't forget,
The lessons learned, no more regret.

[Verse 1]
Days turn to nights, but the grind never stops,
Living in a world where the hustle's on top.
Tried to numb the pain, now I face the fight,
Loneliness is gone, but the war ignites.

Tough like a diamond, cut through the night,
No more tears, now it's fists that fight.
Heart beats heavy, never miss a step,
In this fucked-up game, ain't no time for regret.
[Pre-Chorus]
All the love, all the pain, made me who I am,
Stronger now, brighter days, no longer in a jam.
With my heart open wide, together we stand,
No more worries, no more pain, we've made our plan.

[Chorus]
Rising from the shadows, feel the glow,
No more looking back, just letting go.
Heart's still healing, but I see the light,
Moving forward, everything's so bright.

Easier to breathe when you let things fade,
Thought we were forever, but I'm not afraid.
Listening to my soul, I won't forget,
The lessons learned, no more regret.
[Verse 2]
Lost in the darkness, found my way back,
In this game of life, no time to slack.
Every scar, every tear, every night alone,
Built me up, now I’m in my fucking zone.

Fuck the past, I’m living in the now,
Made it through the storm, took a bow.
In the shadows, found my strength,
In the light, I found my length.
Easier to breathe when you let things fade,
Thought we were forever, but I'm not afraid.
Listening to my soul, I won't forget,
The lessons learned, no more regret.

[Bridge]
In the silence of the night, found my peace,
From the chains of the past, I've found release.
Every battle, every fight, made me whole,
In the shadows of light, I found my soul.
[Chorus]
Rising from the shadows, feel the glow,
No more looking back, just letting go.
Heart's still healing, but I see the light,
Moving forward, everything's so bright.

Easier to breathe when you let things fade,
Thought we were forever, but I'm not afraid.
Listening to my soul, I won't forget,
The lessons learned, no more regret.

Lyrics

In the quiet dusk, I hear the call,
A whisper soft, as shadows fall.
The air grows still, the world unwinds,
Leaving echoes far behind.

Fading light, the night draws near,
But in the dark, there's no more fear.
A gentle pull, a hand unknown,
Guiding me where I’ll call home.

Time slips by, like sand through glass,
Moments fade, they never last.
But in the quiet, I find release,
In the endless depths of peace.

Fading light, the night draws near,
But in the dark, there's no more fear.
A gentle pull, a hand unknown,
Guiding me where I’ll call home.

Where stars are born, and shadows cease,
I’ll rest my soul in endless peace.
No more to roam, no more to fight,
I’ll find my place in the endless night.

Fading light, the night draws near,
But in the dark, there's no more fear.
A gentle pull, a hand unknown,
Guiding me where I’ll call home.
