What Does MOOXLI Mean?
MOOXLI stands for Move your mindset, Oxygenate your soul, Live differently. It’s a call to transformation—but let’s be real. Sometimes, it feels like you have to burn everything down just to move forward.
Sometimes, the choice as a nurse seems like staying stuck or making a radical change.
But what if there’s another way?
The Smallest Step Toward Change
Instead of an all-or-nothing approach, I want to challenge you with this:
What is the smallest way you can start to MOOXLI right now—just as you are?
I’ve been reading How We Learn to Be Brave by Dr. Mariann Edgar Budde, and one sentence hit me straight in the heart:
"Choosing to stay doesn’t mean staying the same."
Staying doesn’t mean stagnation. It doesn’t mean surrendering to burnout, exhaustion, or feeling stuck in your nursing career. It means something else entirely.
Staying in the Work—Without Losing Yourself
As nurses, we are masters of showing up—for patients, for coworkers, for families. We tend to wounds, seen and unseen. But in all that constancy, we risk becoming background fixtures in our own lives.
You are not meant to stay the same. You are meant to evolve.
Choosing to stay:✔ In this profession✔ In your calling✔ In your own body
...doesn’t mean resigning yourself to exhaustion. It means allowing yourself to shift, rise, soften, burn, and rekindle.
How to Stay—And Still Grow
The key to staying without stagnating? Small, sustainable shifts.
Ask yourself: What is one small thing you can do today to choose to stay—fully present in your body, your life, and your calling?
Move your mindset – Shift one limiting belief about yourself. Oxygenate your soul – Take a deep breath, step outside, feel the sun. Live differently – Say “no” to something draining and “yes” to yourself.
Need Support? That’s Why MOOXLI Exists
If this all sounds nice but impossible—you’re not alone. That’s exactly why MOOXLI nurse retreats and resources exist.
Explore the MOOXLI resource list—I’ve personally used every single tool listed to support my own growth.
Pick just one small thing to start reading, doing, or learning. Let it be small, easy, and loving.
You are allowed to stay.You are allowed to change.You are allowed to be more than you were yesterday.
With you always,
Sarah
