Welcome to The Shift Notes Fam
A community for breathers, thinkers, caregivers, and anyone in the middle of a shift.
Shifts happen.
Sometimes it’s clocking in for a 12-hour hospital shift.
Sometimes it’s the slow, quiet shift of parenting or perspective.
Sometimes it’s a sudden life pivot you never saw coming.
And sometimes it’s just a breath, the shift from chaos to calm, from holding on to letting go.
We created The Shift Notes Fam as a place to process all of that; together.
Whether you’re a nurse in the trenches, a busy parent trying to stay grounded, an athlete optimizing performance, or simply someone searching for peace and purpose in a chaotic world, you belong here.
We’re Zac & Erica Gardner, Registered nurses, wellness nerds, breathwork and wellness coaches, parents of 3, and lifelong learners. After years of hospital shifts, cold plunges, and deep conversations around the kitchen table (and sauna), we created The Shift Notes to share insights, tools, and encouragement for living better, not harder.
And this is the next step: a community built on breath, resilience, and real support.
Inside The Shift Notes Fam, you'll get:
Weekly breathing & mindset prompts to keep you grounded and growing
Exclusive community posts and updates from us and others walking a similar path
Access to Q&A threads, polls, and member-only insights from our ICU, breathwork, and wellness experience
A safe space to vent, reflect, reset, and share wins (and fails)
Behind-the-scenes thoughts from our Substack, The Shift Notes
First dibs on live events, workshops, and special drops
A real community, no trolls, no noise, just people trying to breathe and live better
For just a couple bucks a month, you’re helping create a focused, meaningful space that stays troll-free and full of value.
No pressure. No spam. Just real connection and support, from two humans who live this stuff every day.
We’re in here regularly, replying, sharing, encouraging, and we’d love for you to be part of it.
Let’s breathe better, live better, and shift together.
See you inside,
Zac + Erica
