I’m really struggling with the guilt of working 12s. By the time I get home, I’m so fried that I can barely hold a conversation with my husband. He seems to get the worst version of me, and it breaks my heart. I love my career, but I don't want it to ruin my home life. How do you make sure you have energy left for the people who matter most?

I understand, working 12-hour shifts is really rough. I am really intentional with my time. During the week when I am on shift, my husband will try to meet me for lunch or a coffee. We spend more time together when I am not on shift. You just have to be intentional with your time.

You make up for it when you're not working. I assume you're working 3 12s a week like I used to. You're always going to be shot after those days, and that's okay. I'm sure your husband understands. Just make more of an effort on the other four days of the week.
