The Dynamic Duo Behind Beyond the Mask Podcast
What started as a quick conversation at a 2018 meeting turned into one of the most-listened-to podcasts in the CRNAs and APRNs community.
A Podcast For CRNAs & APRNs
Beyond the Mask Podcast is created by and for certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) and resident registered nurse anesthetists (RRNAs). Hosts Sharon Pearce and Jeremy Stanley share insights on leadership, clinical excellence, healthcare policy and personal finance for nurse anesthetists.
Combining Sharon Pearce’s nursing expertise with Jeremy’s financial planning background, Beyond the Mask Podcast was created to educate, entertain, and connect CRNAs and APRNs in a way no one else had done before.
Five years later, the show has published over 400 episodes, over a million downloads and built a loyal following.
Beyond The Mask Podcast: Like Talking With Your Smartest Friend
Listening to Sharon and Jeremy feels like settling into a cozy chat with your best friend, no judgment, just a laid-back, conversational vibe that makes you laugh, cry and feel instantly at ease.
Sharon and Jeremy affectionately known as “Sheramey,” enjoy bringing together generations of CRNAs through real conversations, honest stories, and plenty of humor. They celebrate the wins, talk about the hard stuff, and keep the profession’s history and future alive.

I’ve had to learn to be a CRNA, without being a CRNA. I talk the talk, I fit in every conversation, and now people think I am one. I guess in a way, I am—and officially, I’m an honorary member.
