In this episode of Between Sessions with Berries, Kym sits down with Dr. Pedro Morante, clinical director at Psych Up Mental Health Services and founder of PASS Review Center, a board prep and mentorship program for nurse practitioners. Dr. Morante shares the Five Ms framework he uses with both patients and clinicians, breaks down how anxiety and identity get tangled together during board prep, and talks honestly about how AI tools like Berries are helping reduce the documentation burden that drives so many professionals toward burnout.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The Five Ms of Mental Health: Movement, Mindfulness, Mastery, Meaningful Engagement, and Mediterranean Diet.

• Why burnout is so common among high-performing clinicians and what actually helps.

• How test anxiety and perfectionism affect board exam performance for nurse practitioners.

• What the 90-day prep window looks like and why timing matters for certification success.

• The role of AI in reducing documentation burden and supporting clinical decision-making.

• How Dr. Morante's PASS Review Center helps students separate identity from performance.
