We Take Away our Patient's Pain Every Single day... But What about yours?

How you feel matters.

Are you OK?

I'm Amanda Kay MSN, CRNA

And I was once EXACTLY where you are right now

Here's me in Africa, Oct 2016, a few months before my CRNA graduation with a huge dream in my heart but feeling burned out, full of self-doubt and wondering if this would be worth it?

Waking up at 0400am to drive to the pressure cooker that is the OR and being met with constant criticism and judgment was ultimately soul crushing. 

BUT...IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY ANYMORE. 

I've been coaching aspiring CRNAs since 2020 and I help you lead and enjoy your CRNA journey, instead of merely surviving it. 

I have found that Nurse Anesthesia Residents (NARs) are continually fighting The Four P's: 

Productivity “If I just do more, I’ll make it through.”

Perfectionism “If I don’t make a mistake, I’ll be worthy of being here.”

Performance & Proving “If I never fail and know everything, all the time, I’ll belong.”

People-Pleasing “If they’re happy and like me, I’ll be okay.”

These are actually survival patterns. And they work… until they don’t.

Let me show you a different way. 

Inside the Program You'll Get:

The only way to use this program is what works best for you. Go at your own pace. There is no timeline, no grades and no performing.

  • One LIVE Call a month (High level Case Scenarios, Mindset + Clinical Coaching, Study Sessions, & More!)

  • Access to ALL Replays via your Portal or Private Podcast

  • A Private FB Page for Motivational & Actionable Scrolling

  • 1:1 Session with me monthly +/Or Email Access to Coaching

  • A Weekly Newsletter to keep you engaged & moving forward

What changes can I expect over time in the program?

Here's what many begin to notice and experience:

  • Around 30 Days:

    Less mental chaos, Growing self-awareness of your patterns, Relief from not having to do the 4 P's, & a sense of hope returning

  • Around 60 Days:

    Feeling more steady and clearer thinking in both didactics & clinical, Better energy & time management, Reduced comparison & self-criticism

  • Around 90 Days:

    Stronger self trust, a grounded leadership presence, Confidence rooted in identity as the CRNA--not grades & finally not feeling behind.

Who is this For & Who it is Not For:

Perfect for you if you: 

  • Feel overwhelmed by the pressure and expectations of CRNA school
  • Want to feel worthy and confident again
  • Ready to invest in yourself as a future leader
  • Want growth that feels sustainable and not forced or based on performance, perfection, productivity or people pleasing


This is NOT for you if:

  • You want someone else to fix everything for you 
  • You're unwilling to explore new perspectives and leadership habits 

This Program is NOT:

  • Therapy or mental health treatment (however many clients do both coaching and therapy together with proven benefits)
  • A replacement for your lectures or study platforms
  • Forced positivity and being "fine" 
  • Another system demanding perfection

This Program IS:  

  • Leadership coaching designed for the reality of CRNA school
  • Practical tools for managing pressure, self doubt and burn-out
  • A safe space where you can slow down, learn to think differently and be seen and heard.
  • Support that helps you become, not just achieve. 

I will help you stop doom scrolling, getting stuck in comparisonitis, endlessly googling & YouTube searching for the "right" way and instead step into the process that works for you and start integrating that intentionally, not forcefully. 


What is it like working with me?

See what NARs have to say!

  • "From the first mindset track, I saw this as the game changer for me. It has helped me shift my frame of thinking about school overall. I can say that I don’t go into clinical nervous. I am in control of how I react to the way people speak to me; and, it’s this program that’s helped me change. Otherwise, I do not know how i would have overcome the challenges coming back in my program."

  • "Many things that SHOULD HAVE STOPPED ME -- I believe 2 things kept me going: the strength of The Lord and your mentorship/this program. I have been able to reset my focus each week, find new perspective in tough situations, and come out of challenges as a better human being because of them. I now apply the tools I have learned in this program to other areas of my life. I have become more resourceful, more patient, more resilient... because I am able to see past my present circumstance and onto the future goal."

  • "Learning to reflect and work through constructive thought models on a consistent basis has been a game changer for me! The second thing that has made my SRNA journey unique is looking at how I want to show up, what I need to let go of, and what power I have. I learned all of this within the Mindful SRNA Elite program and am forever grateful for these lessons!"

Got Questions or Concerns?

I got Answers

  • What if I can't afford this? Money is TIGHT!

    I know. I started CRNA school with a depleted bank account and know what it’s like to feel the financial strain. But here’s the truth: What cost me far more than money was the emotional toll of struggling through clinicals, crying in my car, and dreading every single day. I didn’t have the tools or support to manage the overwhelm, the self-doubt, or the constant pressure. CRNA school costs six figures. The emotional cost of: Burnout, Performance anxiety, Avoidance, Repeating semesters, Delayed graduation, … is higher. This program isn’t an expense. It’s leadership conditioning. If overwhelm is already costing you sleep, clarity, confidence, and presence — the real question becomes: Can you afford not to have support?

  • How do I make time for this? I have no time.

    That’s usually a symptom of the 4 P’s running the show. This program is not adding more to your plate. It reorganizes your plate. Most of the work happens inside the life you’re already living: Clinical days, Study sessions, Triggering conversations. We teach you to overcome, not fall apart. That alone is a time saver! You don’t need more time. You need stronger EQ & leadership skills which gives you time back.

CRNA school is a six-figure investment. This is the part that protects it.

And unlike another textbook… This changes how you show up tomorrow.

You already invest in: Board prep, Equipment, Conferences, etc... This is the internal infrastructure that supports all of it. If nothing changes, where will you be six months from now? You don’t need to be perfect to join. You just need to be ready. Stop holding your breath and gripping the steering wheel on the struggle bus and join us.

CRNA school was never meant to break you. It was meant to build you. If you’re ready to stop performing and start leading and walk into the OR steady & trusted — Then you already know: It’s time to get coached.

When you focus on regulation over reaction, clarity over chaos, leadership over people-pleasing — something powerful happens: 

You stop performing from fear and start leading from empowerment..

You become untouchable.

Not because the pressure disappears.
But because it no longer controls you.

You don’t shrink in hard rooms.
You rise in them.

It's time to ditch survival mode and truly thrive on your CRNA journey. It is possible for you!
