🐪 Mike, Mike, Mike - Guess what day it is!😆
Nope, it's not Wednesday yet, but it is MOTION MAKER MONDAY & this week the spotlight is on our nurse, Taylor Gunther! 🏃♀️ She’s a mom, a nurse, a bit of a free spirit, and someone who seems to have two speeds: taking care of everybody around her and disappearing on an adventure somewhere. She’s also learned that there really isn’t much difference between the “mom voice” and the “nurse voice”—both apparently translate roughly to “Please don’t do anything that’s going to require paperwork.” 😂
Taylor brings an easygoing personality, a caring heart, and a great sense of humor to Recovery in Motion. Don’t let the free-spirit vibe fool you, though—she’s no stranger to hard work.💪 At one point somehow managed to juggle six jobs at once. We’re assuming sleep was considered an optional hobby back then. 😆
She also suited up for the Recovery in Motion softball team this summer, where she survived the heat, the running, a few bruises, and the occasional strikeout—which, frankly, qualifies as a successful season around here. 🥎
When she’s off the clock, Taylor would much rather be exploring somewhere with her kids or heading out on an adventure... ideally with a charged phone, everything she needs, and an actual plan. Based on her answers, however, two out of three might be ambitious. 😂
Taylor is compassionate, hardworking, adventurous, and just unpredictable enough to keep things interesting. Let’s get to know her a little better! 💚
Q. As a nurse and a mom, how often do you catch yourself using your “mom voice” on clients—or your “nurse voice” on your kids?
A. Personally, I’m not sure if there is much of a difference, my daughter would say I always use my nurse voice because I preach safety first, being a mom and a nurse, I think the caretaker role goes hand in hand.🤝
Q. You played on our softball team this year. What was your greatest contribution: hitting, fielding, moral support, or simply surviving? 🥎😂
A. Simply surviving with all the heat and busy schedules, between the strike outs, bruises I endured, and all the running, I think we all did our fair share of moral support.
Q. If your free-spirit side got to plan the perfect day with zero responsibilities, where would you end up and what trouble might you accidentally get into? 😆
A. Probably out adventuring or hiking somewhere beautiful or spending the day with my kids exploring. Knowing me, I would probably forget something I told myself a million times to remember, my cellphone would die, or lack of planning and not being able to decide what I want to eat during my adventure.🤦♂️
Q. What’s one thing a client has said or done at Recovery in Motion that made you laugh way harder than you probably should have?😬
A. I cannot think of a single instance that made me laugh harder than I probably should have, I catch myself belly-laughing at least once a week. It’s always the sarcastic/dry humor that gets me.
Q. If your kids were asked to give you a performance review as a mom, what would they say you’re great at—and where do you “need improvement”? 😂
A. My daughter would say I have the best cooking skills, but I could improve planning extravagant events as she always thinks we need to be doing something cool. My son would say I have the best cuddles, and I am the best mom ever, but I could improve my video game performance.🎮
Q. What’s one thing people at Recovery in Motion would be surprised to learn about you?
A. That I used to work in multiple workplace settings including food service, the ethanol industry, and other physical labor jobs, at one point working 6 jobs at one time, up until I had children.😳
