Hi, I’m Kalina.

I’m a registered nurse, a quiet rebel against burnout culture, and the founder of The Porch Light RN - a soft place for you to land when life feels too loud.

For over a decade, I’ve walked beside patients, families, and fellow healthcare professionals during their most vulnerable moments. I’ve seen firsthand how much people carry silently - especially those who spend their lives caring for others.

The Porch Light RN isn’t therapy. It’s not coaching with a clipboard. It’s simply a place where you can exhale, feel seen, and be reminded that being human is enough.

Whether you're feeling heavy, stuck, overwhelmed, or just tired of performing, you don’t have to explain yourself here. You can just show up. You’re already doing enough.

This is a space of:

  • Listening without fixing

  • Rest without guilt

  • Real conversations without judgment

The porch light is on. Come as you are.

Thank you for visiting!

- The Porch Light RN
