In today's episode, you will hear a big talk from Lee Powers, an amazing speaker and alum of The Big Talk Academy Mastery.

Lee Powers is a registered nurse, ICU and workplace violence survivor, and an international speaker. She's dedicated her life to transforming personal trauma into purpose.

Her journey began while completing her Nurse Practitioner training when a patient assault left her critically injured. She was put on a ventilator and in a medically induced coma, yet she was fully aware of everything that was happening. That life-altering experience completely reshaped her life, career, and mission.

In her big talk, "A Nurse's Awakening from a Coma: Lessons Learned from Being the Patient," she explores:

The alarming rates of workplace violence that healthcare workers face compared to other industries
Raising awareness about Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), a little-known condition that affects over 50% of ICU survivors
Why the way we treat unresponsive patients matters deeply
How she transformed her devastating experience into a mission to improve patient care and reduce medical trauma
