Atypical Podcast With Amie Archibald-Varley


Tired of trying to "adult" perfectly? So am I! Welcome to ATYPICAL with Amie Archibald-Varley, your new favourite "lifecare" podcast, where we swap life hacks for life laughs. Let's be real, life's a wild ride with more twists and turns than a pretzel factory. It's time to ditch the pressure to have it all figured out and embrace the glorious, unpredictable adventure that is life. With life being full of uncertainties, the one constant is change. How do we bend, flex, pivot and still survive? From baffling breakthroughs to everyday blunders, Amie's got your back as we navigate this beautiful mess together, one quirky conversation at a time. Get ready for lighthearted chats, relatable stories, creativity in the arts and a whole lot of “oh snap!” moments that prove when life gets atypical, we can still find our stride (maybe even a giggle or two). Life isn’t typical—It’s AtYpICal!

Nursing morale is at an all time low. How do we keep nurses and other frontline practitioners happy on their jobs? What does it take to keep nurses happy and retain them? Unfortunately, this year- the pizza is just not going to cut it. In this episode, Sara and Amie examine what it takes to really retain nurses. We discuss innovative solutions and suggestions that may keep your healthcare staff happy and continue coming into work. We also discuss the harsh realities nurses face trying to stay healthy while at work. 

"Start the retention process when employees are still open to staying, not after they already told you they are leaving".

"You do not build a business, you build people--and then the people build the business".
