In a world that glorifies strength but often hides the struggle behind it, the Nina’s Journey Podcast invites you to explore what real courage looks like, from the inside out. Hosted by Kristina Howey, a healthcare executive, author, and speaker who turned her own experience with PTSD and burnout into a movement for healing and leadership transformation, this show blends storytelling, strategy, and soul. Each week, you’ll hear powerful conversations and reflections designed to help you: - Lead with humanity in a system that often forgets it. - Heal from the experiences that once held you back. - Build courage, resilience, and meaning both personally and professionally. Through a mix of interviews, solo episodes, and honest reflections, Kristina brings together leaders, advocates, and everyday heroes who are rewriting the script on what it means to succeed, serve, and stay well. You’ll hear stories of transformation from a variety of professionals, executives, and change-makers who’ve faced burnout, trauma, and reinvention ... and found purpose in the process. You’ll learn how to bring emotional intelligence into leadership, create psychologically safe workplaces, and navigate the human side of ambition without losing yourself along the way. But this isn’t just a podcast about leadership. It’s a podcast about life. About the moments that break us open, the stories that heal us, and the courage it takes to become who we were meant to be. Listeners come here for real talk, practical wisdom, and the reminder that: “Our stories are not what define us, they’re what connect us.” Whether you’re a leader navigating change, a professional healing from burnout, or someone simply searching for hope and wholeness, Nina’s Journey Podcast will meet you where you are. Because stories have power. Words can move us. And together, we can create change that lasts. New episodes every week.
