About this listen
This week, Peter reconnects with Brianna Jacob, a former anatomy student turned work-from-home nurse living in El Paso, Texas. What started as a student-teacher relationship has grown into a story about bold choices, personal reinvention, and learning to find yourself far from everything familiar.
Brianna opens up about the realities of bedside nursing — including the trauma, the camaraderie, and why she ultimately pivoted to telehealth. She and Peter also get into life as a partner of a dental school student, discovering authentic Mexican-Asian fusion in the desert, and why moving away from your comfort zone might be exactly what you need.
Plus: octopuses have three hearts, 200-year-old tortoises, and the inevitable rabbit hole of what human life would look like if we lived twice as long.
What would you tell your past self? For Brianna, it starts with a hug — and a reminder to stop taking yourself so seriously.
