I encourage nurses to take better care of their lives and show them how to do it.
My name is Matt. I’m a nurse on a journey to learn what it means to take better care of myself and on a mission to bring as many nurses with me as possible.

KEYNOTES
What I Do, Not Who I Am
Early in my working life I swore that I would never be like that. I would never let my job identify me. Then it happened. I was miserable in my job and considering not longer working as a nurse. I felt empty at the very thought of no longer being a nurse. If Matt’s not a nurse, then who is he?
In this talk, listeners will be challenged to look deep within themselves to consider who they really are. They’ll be led on a journey of discovery that starts with connecting with their true identity, leads them to consider what parts of themselves are most important, and ends with them identifying what really matters and building healthy boundaries to protect those things.
The Restored Nurse
Based on my book, The Restored Nurse, this talk helps nurses understand that caring for themselves is not selfish and, in fact, will help them care for the people they care about and for. Nurses are amazing at caring for everyone else, but often fail to care for themselves, many even feeling guilty at the very thought of caring for themselves. In this talk I help nurses reconnect with the parts of themselves that are most important. From there I explain why each of my 6 Pillars is vital to building the life they want to live. Most of all, this talk gives nurses permission to take care of themselves. The truth is that they don’t need me to give that permission, but they often feel like they can’t do it and I want to assure them that they can, and should.
