Meet Cherish
Nurse. Educator. Speaker.
I’m Cherish Morris, founder of The Trauma-Informed Collective. I speak on trauma-informed care, burnout, nervous system regulation, and the lived realities of caring for others in high-stress roles.
My sessions are warm, practical, and designed to leave people with language, tools, and perspective they can put to work right away.
With a background in nursing, education, and trauma-informed support, I help audiences connect clinical credibility with real-world application.
What Leaders Are Saying
“Cherish brought an engaging and meaningful perspective to our senior-level nursing students. Her practical strategies for self-regulation, intentional breathing, and resilience provided students with tools they can carry into professional practice to help manage stress and reduce the risk of career burnout. We are grateful for her commitment to supporting the well-being and longevity of the nursing workforce.”
Cindy Weston, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, CHSE, FNAP, FAANP, FAAN
Founding Dean and Professor, UNT Health Science Center College of Nursing“I had the privilege of hosting Cherish as a presenter at the Texas Nurse Association. Her presentation was both deeply inspiring and profoundly engaging. Rather than treating burnout as a personal failing or giving generic advice, she grounded her message in physiology, explaining how high-stress clinical environments impact the nervous system.Attendees walked away with real-world language and tools to manage stress during high-pressure moments on shift.
Her warm, authentic delivery transformed the presentation into an interactive experience. She left our members feeling heard, renewed, and empowered to integrate trauma-informed practices into both their clinical work and personal lives. We are grateful for her leadership and excitement to share her passions with others!
