What challenges has Hilary Erickson faced in her personal and professional life?

From a professional standpoint, I’ve navigated:

1. The emotional intensity of working in pediatrics, hospice, geriatrics, and especially labor and delivery in busy trauma centers
2. Shifting between different states and care settings (hospital L&D, inner‑city trauma, free‑standing birth unit) while keeping my skills and certifications current
3. Building and sustaining two online brands (Pulling Curls and The Pregnancy Nurse®) since the early blogging days, learning affiliate marketing, course creation, and content strategy mostly on my own

Personally, I’ve balanced:

1. Being a wife and mom of three while working nights, weekends, and holidays as an RN
2. The everyday “busy mom” chaos that inspired my focus on simplifying pregnancy, parenting, home, and travel

Is there a specific type of challenge you’re most interested in—clinical, business, or work–family balance?
