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

Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse.

From a professional standpoint, I’ve navigated:

• The emotional intensity of working in pediatrics, hospice, geriatrics, and especially labor and delivery in busy trauma centers
• Shifting between different states and care settings (hospital L&D, inner‑city trauma, free‑standing birth unit) while keeping my skills and certifications current
• 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:

• Being a wife and mom of three while working nights, weekends, and holidays as an RN
• 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?
