Did you know that bathrooms and showers – particularly in shared spaces – are a veritable breeding ground for pathogen, some of which we see in the form of mold and the build-up of toxic bio films on surfaces. Body fats and soap scums provide a rich food sauce for micro-organisms such as airborne bacteria Serratia Marcescens, which thrive in humid conditions. We know that people with weakened immune systems are so much more vulnerable to the illnesses associated with infection and let's face it, none of us go into the shower with an expectation that we might get sick. So how do we keep those shower walls clean? Well let's think big – BIG TILES. Porcelanosa have developed XXL Hygienic Ceramic Tiles that are 5 feet long - which means just one piece fits the wall of a shower or tub surround. XTONE Porcelain slabs are 10 feet high which means a floor to ceiling surface with no joints. Why does this matter? Well hygienic glaze will not harbor pathogen and surface impurities are easily removed to prevent build up – it is reassuring to know the evidence - INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS Test ISO 10545 - Resistance to Stains -  has determined these surfaces can be easily cleaned and the most difficult contaminants washed away, greatly reducing the need for aggressive chemicals. Think about this…When we unload our dishwasher our ceramic tableware is sparkling clean, sanitized and fresh to use - again and again. The principle is the same with large ceramic walls - So, when planning the shower surrounds for your facilities please reach out to Porcelanosa. The designer in you will love the incredible options and your specification will deliver the longest & best lifecycle value bar none.  

81: Building a Business as a New Nurse Coach- Whitney Distefano BSN, RN, NC-BC “As a new business owner in the community, it's just been one learning opportunity after another, and truly just like a practice of vulnerability, of showing up and putting yourself out there and really doing the best I can to be detached from the outcome, which is what they teach us as Nurse Coaches as well.  Showing up day in and day out, and knowing that, you're gonna find things that you don't know how to do, you're going to find that there are questions you didn't even know were questions. And just having to come back to the attitude that, everything is figure out-able.” ~Whitney Distefano BSN, RN, NC-BCAh Ha MomentsIt's absolutely vulnerable to be a new business owner, especially because Nurses are never taught how to be entrepreneurs. And yet, we can still show up and be open to the possibilities!Everything is ‘figure-out-able'.  And we can ask for help, and be detached from the outcomes, as best we canBe clear on your personal vision and values, as those will be instrumental in you showing up for the world in your true, authentic way, and your ability to align with how you are being of serviceBegin with one step at a time.  You don't have to do it all right away.  Find the things you think will have the most impact and begin there.

Matt Waning's cancer journey began in 2021, at the age of 34, when he wasdiagnosed with testicular cancer. The aggressive nature of his illness led to surgery that removed a tumor the size of a watermelon, along with his left testicle and kidney, as the tumor had reached his aorta. Following surgery, he underwent two months of preventive chemotherapy known as VIP treatment and celebrated being in remission by August 2021. However, the VIP treatment came with a rare side effect—a potential risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Unfortunately, in January 2023, Matt was diagnosed with AML as a result of the chemotherapy he had previously received. Matt is an avid Boston sports fan, with a particular passion for the Bruins. Musicis another love of his, offering solace and joy throughout his journey. As the oldest of three siblings, he shares a special bond with his family, including his dog Mogley, named after the main character from "The Jungle Book." Dr. Stone is currently the Director of the Adult Acute Leukemia Program atDana-Farber Cancer Institute, serves on the Medical Oncology Board of the American Board of Internal Medicine, and is vice chair of the Leukemia Core Committee for the national cooperative trials group Cancer and Leukemia Group B.

Nancy Simmers served as the death doula for Kate Christie's mother when she chose VSED (Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking) to hasten her death. How did Nancy's path take her from working as a birth doula to becoming a death doula? How did her expertise grow over the years? How does she support the individual and the family in a VSED situation? What are the three typical parts of a death by VSED? This two-part podcast is an eye-opener on a subject that most of us know little about. Last week's episode: a conversation with the daughter who experienced her mother's death by VSED.

Are you dealing with parenting issues? In this episode I talk with Holly Swenson. Holly Swenson, BSN, RN, is a mother to four boys, wellness blogger, perpetual student of life, and the author of Stop, Drop, Grow, & Glow, a book steeped in conscious parenting and infused with joy, intention, and wellness. This conversation features Holly Swenson and Linda discussing important topics around self-care, wellness, and intentional parenting. Holly is an author who wrote the book "Stop, Drop, Row and Glow" about maintaining wellness as a busy mom. She shares techniques for moms to take care of themselves physically and mentally to feel fulfilled and radiant. Linda and Holly also explore a framework called the "Five Rights of Parenting," which provides a supportive approach for being fully present with children. Throughout, they offer advice on handling emotions, setting boundaries, allowing independence, and using reflection as a parenting tool. The discussion offers valuable insights for any parents seeking to care for themselves while raising well-adjusted kids. Questions I asked: How did you come up with the title of your book "Stop, Drop, Row and Glow"? What do you recommend for women who feel frumpy and have lost their self? What are some things you do yourself as a mom to make you feel like you start to glow? What would you say the five rights of parenting are? The blueprint for intentional parenting? How can we react with grace to knee jerk reactions when our child has done something that takes our breath away? What is your recommendation when a child between two and three is throwing a temper tantrum because they didn't get what they wanted? Don't you think kids are also testing their boundaries? What is your recommendation for reflecting, reframing, and rising? Where can people find you?   Topics Discussed: Self-care and wellness for busy moms Self-care techniques for moms to feel fulfilled and glow Parenting rights framework of the "Five Rights of Parenting" Parenting techniques for handling children's emotions and behaviors Setting boundaries while allowing independence for teenagers Importance of relaxing and taking a mellow approach to parenting Role of self-reflection and personal growth in parenting  Quotes from the show:  "Protein is going to take you so far."

“…you need space in order for energy to be exchanged and to hear what we're saying, and hear what the other person said. Historically, I've wanted to fill that space really. So, it's still practice for me as well. I still have to work on it. But just trying to lean into that. And, allow that space to exist so people get the benefit of hearing themselves talk too.” ~Lindsay Frey MA, BSN, RN, HWNC-BC, HNB-BC, CDCESAh Ha MomentsThere is so much power in listening to a person's story, especially when we quiet our own agendasWe've come leaps and bounds in talking about self-care in Nursing schools, and yet, we still have a ways to go in implementing self-care into daily Nursing lifeListen deeply to yourself and your needs and desires- listening may take you across the country, or even closer to yourselfThere is vulnerability in silence.  Allowing space for whatever will come instead of trying to fill itNurse Coaching can be used in all parts of Nursing practice, from Nurse to Nurse to partnering with patients using insulin pumps.

64: Regulating the Nervous System as Nurse Coaches- Ellie Monjoseph, RN, BSN, NC-BC Highlights“Are you fighting something? Are you fleeing? Are you, what's called, collapse or shutdown, and just trying to figure out where we're at with our nervous system, so we can support ourselves?It's plugging in some of the missing pieces that an unresolved stress takes away from us. It kind of masks or clouds our vision of ‘where am I?'. Because when you think of when you're connected, when you're joy-filled, when you're present, you can make decisions very easily.” ~ Ellie Monjoseph BSN, RN, NC-BCAh-Ha MomentsNursing experience gives you a front row to witnessing humanityListen to where you are being called… you can go in whatever direction you chooseIt's important to continue to do your own inner work to support yourself, to understand yourself more deeplyFear, imposter syndrome, people pleasing, and the inner critic can sound really loud when we don't address our unique, deep needsAn inner critic is typically a voice that is not yours, from your pastConnecting to your heart space, a purposeful pause, to connect with yourself.  What do you need right now?  What does your heart say right now?  This voice is a calm, kind voice that will help you move into the next space that you need right now.It's a power move to ask for help!  It's vulnerable to do, but it creates a cushion of a supportive community around usWhat is this urge to flee?  The sympathetic system, fight, flee, shutting down… wanting to change jobs, move, give up, etc.  Bringing awareness to self is imperative to understand and recognize how we're responding so we can take a purposeful step that is truly best for youHealing begins when we realize we're interconnectedLinks and ResourcesIntegrative Nurse Coach Certificate Program with the Integrative Nurse Coach AcademyIntegrative and Holistic Specialty ProgramsFree to Live Wellness - Ellie's websiteEllie on Instagram***** Thank you for listening.

63: Nurses Overcoming Addiction- Kacie Salas, BSN, RN, NC-BC Highlights"My coping mechanism was, drinking and using.  I think symptoms of cumulative caretaking trauma are shame, guilt, anxiety, grief. Right? Once I started to learn that language, I realized that it had been something I've really suffered with my whole life.Through Nurse Coaching and all the tools that I learned in my Nurse Coaching program, I was able to start to guide my private clients and my debriefing clients through that process where I think, again, just opening up the conversation, you know?And making people feel like they're less alone. They really just want to feel seen, heard and validated. And not feel alone." ~Kacie Salas, BSN, RN, NC-BCAh-Ha MomentsAddiction as a coping mechanism is often hidden within the Nursing world because of shame, and because we are held to such high standards in the public eyeSobriety exploration can create hope and healing in your lifeWe've got to stay together and open up the conversations because we can heal with each other once we realize we are not aloneCumulative caretaking trauma is the trauma experienced after repeated exposure to traumatic events over short periods of timeSay YES!
