Big D Energy: Redefining Healthcare

Ep. 5-Birth: Are Hospital Policies & Perspectives Changing? (with Hayley Button)

On this episode I welcome Hayley Button, a nurse of 11 years, who's spent the majority of her time helping bring babies into this world. We discuss how policies have changed around the birth process in hospitals, her perspective on following birth plans, and her viewpoint as a whole on the healthcare system.

Ep. 4-Insurance Companies, Naturopathic Remedies, & Intuition (with Lexi Montoya)

On this episode I welcome Lexi Montoya, owner of Creating Consciousness, LLC, nervous system regulation coach, and energy healer. Before stepping into her own business and line of work, Lexi previously worked for insurance companies and workers comp and became very familiar with the ins and outs of how these companies do and don't work. We hear about her viewpoint while working in these companies. We also discuss naturopathic remedies and how not everything that says "natural" or "organic" is actually good for you. Most importantly, we discuss following your own intuition, question everything, and take one step at a time to make any change you want to change. Want to connect with Lexi?

Ep. 3-Disconnect, Lack of Compassion, and Discomfort (with Karissa Dean)

On this episode I welcome Karissa Dean, a life and business coach for women and jack of all trades entrepreneur! During this episode we discuss: A lack of compassion in the industry, from Karissa's patient viewpoint and mine as a healthcare provider. The difficulty and extreme expense of health insurance for small business owners. The in's and out's of how to navigate this insanely confusing system. That the FDA is basically running the country. How much easier and cheaper it is to receive care in other countries. As humans, if we learned from a younger age how to recognize and deal with discomfort in our bodies, we wouldn't tend to rely on quick fixes, and instead would know how to deal with our discomfort. And so, so much more! If you'd like to connect with Karissa, check out her IG @coach_karissa_dean

Ep. 1-Meet Danielle: The Voice Behind Big D Energy

Hi, I'm Danielle, AKA D. I recently left mainstream healthcare as a nurse practitioner for a multitude of reasons. Now I've decided to share some of those reasons, but more importantly, I want to start conversations that bring a new definition to healthcare. Redefining what health means, how to obtain it, and that we don't need to rely on the current system to get there. Welcome to Big D Energy!
