A NurseCon at Sea 2026 Recaphttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/can-a-cruise-change-your-life-a-nursecon-at-sea-2026-recap--72101331
But before we get into the life-changing part, we have to recap the absolute chaos that got us there including a terrifyingly turbulent landing, struggling to find food after arriving at our hotel exhausted, and Maggie’s suitcase literally breaking mid-trip because apparently the universe wanted to humble us immediately. Once we finally made it onto the ship, though, something shifted. In this episode of The Modern Motherload, we talk about the moments, conversations, and emotions that made Lili seriously consider pursuing a career in nursing in her late 30s. From watching nurses show up for one another to realizing how deeply motherhood has changed what she wants out of life and work, this trip was the tipping point. In this episode we get into: 
  • The emotional impact of being surrounded by women reinventing themselves
  • The fear of starting over later in life
  • Whether this is a passing “vacation high” or a real calling
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to change your life, this episode is for you. Because apparently some people come home from cruises with souvenirs and some come home questioning their entire future.
