Hey, my name is Leo Barber and you are listening to the Vitals and Virtues podcast, where we focus on the pursuit of a virtuous life from the perspective of a nurse. Join me as I take in classical wisdom from saints, philosophers and Scripture and distill it for practical application that you can take with you on your way into your shift. Be sure to keep an eye out for special editions where I interview healthcare professionals from various specialties to help us learn and grow to be the best people and providers we can be. AMDG!

    Expectations vs. Reality and the Struggle Against Mediocrity

    As the title suggests, even this episode was a struggle with expectations and reality. On the positive note we did get to celebrate the Solemnity of St. Joseph, Husband of Mary and discuss certain challenges of modern man. If we can ever figure out how to find the solution to our expectations we'll be sure to have an episode about it. Thanks for listening!
