What if your rock-bottom moment became the launchpad for a nurse-led business? In this episode, I chat with Amy Mageropoulos — RN, ice bath queen, and founder of Breathe IV in Sydney — about how she turned chronic pain, birth trauma, and burnout into a wellness business helping people breathe, recharge, and heal on their terms. We go deep on IV hydration, cold water therapy, and breathwork — and the real talk behind launching a health studio as a nurse. Amy shares the harsh lessons, cashflow dramas, APHRA fears, and mindset breakthroughs that helped her go from “acting NUM” to “nurse entrepreneur.” Whether you’re exploring IV hydration or just done with the shift-work grind, Amy’s story proves there’s a path to income, impact, and nurse freedom.
