In today's episode, Shelby sits down with Kris Christie, a recent graduate of The Nurse Coach Residency program, to hear her inspiring story of becoming a board-certified nurse coach while working full-time as a public health nurse.Kris became a nurse in her late 40s after working as a caregiver and discovering a passion for healthcare. She holds a Master's in Nursing (Clinical Nurse Leader track) from USF and has spent six years as a public health nurse. She also serves as an administrator for an adult day healthcare program and runs a music-filled, three-dog household.We talk about:How Kris came to nursing in her late 40s and why she was drawn to preventative medicine and chronic disease managementHer experience hiring a nurse coach in 2022 — and why it changed her life personally more than professionallyThe "victim mindset" and perfectionism patterns she recognized in herself (and now sees in her clients)Why she specifically wanted a nurse coach — not just any life coachHow she managed 8–12 hours per week of coursework on top of a full-time job and a packed personal lifeThe moment she realized she was "being selfish" by not offering her coaching services to people who were waiting for themHer sliding scale model: charging market rate for 80% of clients, sliding scale for 20% — so no one is excludedBreaking through the belief that offering your services = bothering peopleWhy her strong community roots led to fast referrals and organic client growthHer #1 piece of advice to other nurse coaches: your future self can't emerge if you're blocking her with old beliefsWatch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/y5PjuhmPnXMMentioned in this episode:Cohort 7https://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/

Melissa Parsons spent more than two decades in nursing, from trauma and cath lab to becoming a nurse practitioner. But after years of feeling increasingly disconnected from the kind of healing she truly wanted to offer, she reached a breaking point. In this conversation with Shelby, Melissa shares the deeply personal journey that led her toward nurse coaching, spirituality, and building a business rooted in genuine human connection.Together, they unpack the fear of being seen, the vulnerability of inviting people into coaching, and the surprising healing that can happen when nurses finally feel heard themselves.In this episode, we talk about:Leaving a misaligned nursing career after 22 yearsThe moment Melissa realized she couldn't keep doing things the same wayWhy spirituality and purpose became central to her healing journeyThe vulnerability of coaching friends, coworkers, and family membersThe difference between “cold” marketing and leading with real connectionFear, uncertainty, and building a business without guaranteed outcomesBurnout, grief, and the emotional weight nurses carry without debriefingHow nurse coaching creates space for deeper healing and human connectionMelissa's story is an honest reminder that sometimes the discomfort we feel is pointing us toward something more aligned. This episode is for the nurse who knows they're meant for more, even if they can't fully explain it yet.“Because if you're living in fear, you're not fully here”.

What happens when you stop waiting to feel ready, and just go all in anyway?Colleen, a pediatric nurse turned nurse coach, shares her raw and honest journey from certification to building a thriving coaching practice. In this conversation with Shelby, she opens up about fear, visibility, investing in herself, and what it actually takes to go from “thinking about it” to signing paying clients while still working full-time.This episode is a real behind-the-scenes look at what it means to step into leadership, trust the process, and build something meaningful even when it feels uncomfortable.In this episode, we talk about:Moving straight from certification into business and why momentum mattersThe fear of being seen online and hitting “post” anywayWhy your first clients won't come from posting, but from reaching outWhat it really takes to sign your first paying clientsLearning to sit with fear instead of waiting for it to disappearThe power of repetition, feedback, and watching your own growth in real timeBuilding a coaching business while working full-time and managing real lifeShifting from getting clients to becoming an exceptional coachColleen's story is a powerful reminder that confidence doesn't come first. Action does. And when you're willing to show up, feel the fear, and keep going anyway, everything starts to change.If you've been sitting on the edge, waiting for the “right time,” this episode might just be the push you didn't know you needed.Connect with us:Instagram: @successfulnursecoachesWebsite: www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.comJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesuccessfulnursecoachMentioned in this episode:Apply for Nurse Coach Residency here: https://www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.com/maketheleapwithTSNC

"Nurse coaching, as we know, is not only about coaching others, but it's also about self development of the Nurse and helping the Nurse to transform and into greater health and well being for themselves. And how did we think of it?  Well, we certainly have been in the space together in certain conferences and listening to certain programs, and we realize that Nurses have an awful lot of education, experience that they can bring to clients, and use a lot of functional medicine principles as well as lifestyle nursing principles." ~Karen AvinoAh Ha Moments• Integrative Nurse Coaching, Functional Nursing, and Lifestyle Nursing come together to create a powerful, whole-person approach that transforms how nurses support health, healing, and prevention.• Lifestyle Nursing focuses on evidence-based pillars like nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and connection to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic disease.• Functional Nursing personalizes care by identifying root causes and addressing the mental, emotional, and physiological factors that influence health and healing.• Integrative Nurse Coaching enhances outcomes through presence, deep listening, and partnership, empowering patients to create sustainable lifestyle change.• Together, these approaches shift healthcare from reactive “sick care” to proactive, relationship-based care that restores joy, purpose, and impact in nursing practice.Links and ResourcesIntegrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION! podcast Functional Nursing + Lifestyle Nursing Dual Certificate PathwayLifestyle Nursing: A Lifestyle Medicine Framework for Nurses courseFunctional Nursing: A Functional Medicine Framework for Nurses courseEpisode 96: Ignite Your Impact with Lifestyle Nursing - Karen Laing DNP, APRN, AGPCNP-BC, DipACLM, HWMC-BC, CHES, FPCNAEpisode 95: Functional Nursing: Tools, Presence, and Hope for Modern Nurses - Thomas Sult MD, IFMCP and Elizabeth Sult BSN, RN, NC-BCEpisode 85: Celebrating Integrative Nurse Coaching - Karen Avino EdD, RN, AHN-BC, HWNC-BCKaren Avino's email: Integrative Nurse Coach Academy I Integrative Nurse Coach FoundationWe provide nurses with a global community for learning, networking, and reconnecting.

“I've never seen this type of healing in the conventional healthcare system. Never. It's so profound and so fast and long lasting, and it's just absolutely mind blowing every time. Not always, though, isn't this effective for everybody, right? It's not a magic pill or a cure all or anything like that. But for the people that it does work for, they say that everything they tried didn't work, but this was it.  It brings me to my soul work, which is being able to be a bridge or a facilitator, to help somebody heal, and that is what lights me up.” ~Anna Desmarais BSN, RN, HWNC-BCAh Ha MomentsIntegrative Nurse Coaching can reconnect you to your “why.”  It's OK to shift the way you show up and practice as a Nurse, connecting back to your purpose can help you discover new ways to find joy and a renewed passion for your work.Anna's biggest Integrative Nurse Coach Academy Nurse Coach Certificate Program takeaway: hold space, listen deeply, use silence well, and ease up on the “fix it” reflex.It's not all private practice.

Hi Nurse friend, What happens when chronic pain, burnout, and nervous system dysregulation start stealing your ability to feel — not just physically, but emotionally and intimately? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Honey Hull, NP, a pain and sex coach who understands firsthand what it's like to live in a body shaped by stress, trauma, and exhaustion. Honey shares her personal story of burnout and chronic pain, and how it led her to explore the deep connection between the brain, body, and nervous system. Honey Hull is a Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Coach, and the founder of Small Steps Equals Big Changes. She has a unique and vital specialty: helping people with chronic pain have better sex. After experiencing her own burnout working in high-volume pain clinics, Honey realized that pills and procedures weren't enough to heal the whole person. She now uses a holistic approach to help clients gently retrain their pain pathways, turning down the body's 'false alarm' signals. Honey is dedicated to helping you move past fear so you can rediscover safety, connection, and pleasure in your body. In this episode, Honey offers practical, compassionate tools to restore body trust, improve sexual intimacy, and elevate overall quality of life — especially for nurses and healthcare professionals living under chronic stress.

"...we sell hope, because lots of times patients will come to us, they've got the med list this long, and they just think it's going to keep getting longer. We let them know that this is not what it has to continue being. We can actually make changes, and lifestyle medicine providers will, as appropriate, de-prescribe or decrease the dose on these medications. And from the Nursing perspective, it's about being very specific, so making the recommendations instead of saying, you know, eat more fruits and vegetables. You know, well, what's realistic for you at this time? What are you ready to do? So Nurse Coaches are the best at this because we're already used to being able to assess where the client is and what they're ready to make a move on." ~Karen Laing DNP, APRN, AGPCNP-BC, DipACLM, HWMC-BC, CHES, FPCNAAh-Ha MomentsExplore how Lifestyle Nursing and Integrative Nurse Coaching blend the art and science of Nursing to prevent, and even help reverse chronic disease with evidence-based lifestyle interventions.Learn the six pillars of lifestyle medicine:  sleep, stress, movement, nutrition, social connection, and avoiding risky substance, and how Lifestyle Nursing makes them practical and doable for real patients and real Nurses.Hear how Nurses can use a Lifestyle Nursing framework to “sell hope,” collaborate with patients, and confidently stay within scope while talking about food, movement, and behavior change.Discover how Integrative Nurse Coaching + Lifestyle Nursing give Nurses structure, language, and heart-centered tools to support patients, communities, and themselves.Feel inspired as Karen reminds us that Nurses are powerful, trusted advocates who can model lifestyle change and help transform a broken healthcare system from the inside out.Links and ResourcesIntegrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION! podcastLifestyle Nursing: A Lifestyle Medicine Framework for Nurses courseFunctional Nursing: A Functional Medicine Framework for Nurses courseFunctional Nursing + Lifestyle Nursing Dual Certificate PathwayLifestyle Nursing bookHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention for Advanced Practice bookKaren's emailIntegrative Nurse Coach Academy I Integrative Nurse Coach FoundationWe provide nurses with a global community for learning, networking, and reconnecting.

"A lot of what we do is give patients hope. Give patients hope and listen to them. And that, in itself, is so healing. I think it's so healing and transformative, ...even if they don't get to where they were before, they become the best version of themselves that they can be." ~Elizabth Sult BSN, RN, NC-BC"In conventional medicine, the question is, what's the diagnosis? And once you know the diagnosis, then there's sort of these algorithms that, you try to see if they help. But in functional medicine, once you understand what's the diagnosis, the question is, really, why? Why do you have the diagnosis?And that's where these antecedents, triggers, mediators, all these kinds of ideas come from— to get to the why. But I like to say that the antecedents, triggers and mediators are kind of like Einstein's Theory of Relativity, right? Because an antecedents from one frame might be a trigger from another frame.And so, you know, getting to the real root cause. You might think, Oh, I got to the molecular medicine cause. But actually, it was a spiritual mal-alignment that caused the biochemical issue, because it caused all this stress and strain and all that trickles down to the molecular medicine."  ~Dr. Tom Sult MD, IFMCPAh-Ha MomentsFunctional Nursing asks a different question: Not just what's the nursing diagnosis? But, why is this happening?  And what does this body need to heal? It's about raising wellness so illness has less space to take holdThe Functional Nurse listens for patterns, stories, and turning points. Elizabeth and Tom highlight how powerful it is when Nurses can really listen, and help patients connect the dots in their own health journeyFunctional Nursing and Integrative Nurse Coaching are a natural fit. When Nurses combine root-cause thinking with coaching presence, patients feel seen, supported, and empowered to take steps that fit into their busy livesThe nervous system matters deeply. Functional Nurses learn about how long-term stress and fight-or-flight affect digestion, immunity, hormones, and healing, and why joy, safety, and regulation are essential parts of careThis work restores dignity and hope for patients and nurses. Links and ResourcesFunctional Nursing: A Functional Medicine Framework for NursesFunctional Nursing + Lifestyle Nursing Dual Certificate PathwayJust Be Well websiteBook: Just Be Well by Thomas SultEmail for questions: Integrative Nurse Coach Academy I Integrative Nurse Coach FoundationWe provide nurses with a global community for learning, networking, and reconnecting.

After the excitement of becoming a Board Certified Nurse Coach, many coaches hit an unexpected wave of uncertainty. In this episode, Laura and Shelby break down the messy middle that happens right after certification: the “am I doing this right,” the fear of visibility, and the pressure to suddenly have everything figured out. They share what actually matters in these early stages, why slow and steady progress builds long term success, and how to create momentum without burning out or expecting perfection. This conversation is grounding, practical, and a permission slip to breathe, soften, and take the next small step instead of trying to leap into a fully formed business overnight.Things to remember:Certification is the beginning, not the final destination. Feeling uncertain afterward is completely normal.You do not need a perfect plan. You just need consistent action and willingness to learn as you go.Wobbliness is part of the process. Confidence comes from reps, not readiness.Visibility grows slowly. You do not have to show up everywhere at once.Community support matters. You build faster and stay grounded when you are not doing it alone.You already have what you need to start. The next step is always small, doable, and right in front of you.Connect with us:Instagram: @successfulnursecoachesWebsite: www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.comJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesuccessfulnursecoachIf you loved this episode…Please take 30 seconds to subscribe, rate, and leave a review — it helps more nurses find this work and fall in love with the boring parts too.Watch the full episode here:https://youtu.be/r2ohGjiY5hkMentioned in this episode:Join NLCA Cohort 6https://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/certification

My content didn't blow up because I worked harder or posted more.It exploded when I finally stopped trying to be “original,” did less , and started playing the content game strategically.In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I gained 4,000 followers from a handful of posts after posting over 2,000 times… and how I hit my first 1M-view month on Instagram.But more importantly: I'll show you why those numbers are not the real win – and what you should actually be tracking if you want clients, not just claps.By the end of this episode, you'll understand why my content finally landed, what changed, and how to use the same Content Compass I teach inside NursePreneur Academy to get real traction (without burning yourself out creating content 24/7).

Can you grow a private practice while also navigating depression, anxiety, or trauma? In this heartfelt episode, Shelby sits down with Amy Frame, Director of Education at Nurse Life Coach Academy, to talk openly about the reality of mental health and entrepreneurship.Amy shares her journey with lifelong depression, military service, and a misdiagnosis that kept her stuck until coaching helped her face the root causes. Shelby opens up about her own experience with anxiety, birth trauma, and the messy middle of being a coach, mom, and business owner. Together, they break down how to show up for your clients when you're not at 100%, why vulnerability matters, and how to stop carrying clients' “rocks” home with you.Whether you're at 72% today or just hanging on by your fingernails, this conversation is proof that you don't have to wait until you're “fully healed” to pursue your dream. Healing and building can happen side by side.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How to stop waiting for perfection before starting your businessPractical ways to show up for clients even during mental health lowsThe role of vulnerability and shame in entrepreneurshipWhy your “why” matters more than grit when things get hardTools to return to neutral when life throws curveballsResources & Next Steps:Join our community: The Successful Nurse Coaches Facebook GroupLearn about Nurse Life Coach Academy: thesuccessfulnursecoaches.com/nlcaConnect with Shelby: https://www.instagram.com/nurse.coach.shelby/Connect with Amy: https://www.instagram.com/amy.frame.rn/Connect with us:Instagram: @successfulnursecoachesWebsite: www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.comJoin the conversation in our Facebook group: The Successful Nurse Coach CommunityIf you loved this episode…Please take 30 seconds to subscribe, rate, and leave a review — it helps more nurses find this work and fall in love with the boring parts too.

Wellness Nurse Revolution: Alison Boser RN “Everybody wants their employees to be healthy, but being healthy…What does that mean? And that means different things to different people. It's not one size fits all. It's a really flexible, definition based on your stage of life, where you are. And I think an awareness of wellness as this sort of amorphous different things at different times for people would be fantastic. I think wellness, like capital W wellness, has a bit of a negative connotation that, you must be very thin and muscular and do hot yoga or something, but that's not it. You know, it's like walking your dog. It's your grandma who can carry your groceries into her house at 95 and she gets them after she goes and plays cards! It's strong communities. I'd love to see all of the skills from Nurse coaching and all the Nurse coaches ripple out like that.” ~Alison Boser, RNAH-HA MomentsFrom Trauma to Transformation: Alison shares her journey from emergency and travel nursing to creating her dream role as a Wellness Nurse—a position she literally spoke into existence.Wellness in Action: Learn how Alison supports hospital staff with coaching, crisis response, mindfulness, group programs, and even “7-minute weightlifting sessions” to make wellness accessible in busy hospital life.Healing the Healers: Through compassion, listening, and presence, she models what it means to show up for others—and herself—while advocating for sustainable, human-centered healthcare systems.Community & Connection: From workplace book clubs to environmental wellness initiatives like composting and recycling programs, Alison weaves community care into hospital culture.The Ripple Effect: By supporting one nurse at a time, the Wellness Nurse Revolution uplifts whole teams, reduces burnout, and redefines what health looks like inside healthcare.Links and ResourcesIntegrative Nurse Coach Certificate ProgramIntegrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION! podcastSeverance by Ling MaAlison's LinkedInAlison's InstagramAlison's Substack*****Integrative Nurse Coach Academy I Integrative Nurse Coach FoundationWe provide nurses with a global community for learning, networking, and reconnecting.

From Patient to Purpose: A Nurse Coach's Mission to Transform Organ Donation Support- Taylor Byrer BSN, RN, NC-BC Highlights“I was telling these two about my story and about how I needed a liver. And it was the most moving, most like chilling experience, like every single hair on my body was standing straight, because then the next time that we met, one of them had shared that she had lost her dad, and it was unexpected. And then the hospital staff came to her and asked if he was an organ donor. And she said, ‘No, he wasn't.' And she said, ‘I had never thought about him being an organ donor, like I never thought about that process.'And she said, ‘…and it wasn't until I heard about your story that I said, Yes, I want him to be an organ donor, and he would be okay with that'. And then he was an organ donor. And then she came back to me again a couple weeks later, and she said, Taylor, the only organ that he was able to get was his liver.”  ~Taylor Byrer BSN, RN, NC-BC Ah-Ha MomentsTaylor's story reminds Integrative Nurse Coaches how vital holistic presence and deep listening are during life-altering medical experiencesThis story is a powerful lesson in how lived experiences can shape a meaningful coaching niche.

“I find that people make the changes best when they uncover the information themselves. I can offer them information, but unless they come up with that solution, that's where real magic happens. That's where change happens when they come up with their own solution. And I find through the subconscious work with hypnosis and yoga nidra, that sometimes you just really need to be in that relaxed state to have it come to the surface. You may not even be aware of it, and it comes to the surface, and then that's when the transformation happens.”  ~Mary Cohen MSN-ED, RN, AHN-BC, HWNC-BC, CH, NLP Ah-Ha Moments · Nurses can combine Integrative Nurse Coaching with any other modality that they find impactful.  Integrative Nurse Coaching is limitless! · When patients, clients and communities allow for stillness in their lives, messages from their subconscious will move into consciousness, often allowing for new awareness and opportunities for impactful transformation · Important to listen, and hear the client's patient's message and then to reflect back what you heard, instead of offering solutions- this allows the person to define their own solutions in their unique lifeLinks and Resources· Hypnosis for Nurses Certification Program with the Integrative Nurse Coach Academy· Integrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION! podcast· Joyful Wellness website· Free Hypnosis Audio.

Menopause Insights from a Nurse Coach-Suzanne Greiner BSN, RN, NC-BC Highlights“Yes, I'm going through perimenopause. And what do I want my perimenopause story to look like? Do I want to be a victim to going through this?Or do I want to be that victor? I went through perimenopause, and I was able to do this, and I was able to find solutions for my own health. And I think the kicker for me at that point in my perimenopausal journey was, I want this to be that when I'm 85 years old, and I look back on my life, this is the point that I chose for longevity of my life, versus a quick fix.So, every decision past, that point in time was, is this going to be helping my 85-year-old body to hike a mountain, or is it going to set me back? So those are the kinds of decisions of working with my future self.

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Jenn Maul, a trailblazing nurse coach who's bringing the power of coaching into healthcare organizations. Jenn shares her journey from bedside nurse to internal coach, and how she's helping hospitals shift their culture from reactive to intentional, using nurse coaching as the catalyst.Whether you're a nurse looking to create more impact, or a leader wondering how coaching could transform your organization, this conversation is packed with insights, real-world examples, and powerful permission to think differently.

Freedom. It's why so many of us became nurses in the first place—to help others, to have job security, and to create a fulfilling life. But somewhere along the way, the reality of long shifts, bureaucratic red tape, and feeling like just another cog in the machine made us feel trapped instead of free.In today's episode, we're breaking those chains. What does freedom truly mean as a nurse coach? And more importantly, how can you claim it?

86: Building a Meditation App- Ann Adams, MS, RN Highlights"Two supportive practices that are accessible to anybody is their breath— that can help regulate their nervous system, just by learning different ways to breathe. And gratitude. So a gratitude practice is free, and that helps you not ignore what's negative, but helps you scan the horizon for also what's good.  If we have a dysregulated nervous system, we tend to look for what can be threatening, because that will be what saves our life. So a gratitude practice helps balance that out, that intentional practice of looking for the good." ~Ann Adams, MS, RN Ah-Ha MomentsTake your wisdom, creativity and passion and create something you've always wanted or needed“Sometimes, you don't always have the answers, you just know you need to begin.” ~ Dr. Barbara DosseyTwo supportive and accessible practices are breath and gratitudeLet your heart and inner wisdom guide you, it will never let you downYou will learn so much about yourself when you decide to dig in and do something that is fueled by your passion and desireLinks and Resources·       Integrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION! podcast·       Integrative Nurse Coach Certificate Program·       Mindfulness Meditation: Stillness Practices for Nurses Specialty Course·       CRUSH the Pain Instagram ·       CRUSH the Pain Meditation app on Google·       CRUSH the Pain Meditation app on Apple·       CRUSH the Pain website·       Ann's email·       Dean Ornish Intensive lifestyle changes for reversal of coronary heart disease (1998) article·       Candace Pert Molecules of Emotion bookIntegrative Nurse Coach Academy I Integrative Nurse Coach FoundationWe provide nurses with a global community for learning, networking, and reconnecting.

She would be equal parts professionalism, inspiration, and compassion, with just a pinch of badassery thrown in.But she is not a recipe. She is a thought leader, a nurse coach, a keynote speaker, and she has the challenging task of training C-suite executives to bridge the gap between them and the healthcare professionals on the front lines.Angie and I are soul sisters of a sort: we love sporting our rose-colored glasses, which is not a negative. We are not blind to the dirty side of nursing: the bullying, burnout, staffing, and wage inequity. Rather, we choose to see the positives and to be the change we wish to see in the profession. Our discussion was filled with wisdom and insights about why our profession is both great and yet struggling. Angie's hashtag, #lovingdisruption, is gaining popularity and resonance, and I can't wait for you to hear her explanation. My prediction? It's going viral.So get in, sit down, buckle up, and get ready for a wild ride because this woman has a lot to say!In the five-minute snippet: she's a hunker-down kinda gal.

"In the Nurse coaching certificate course, we definitely learned about mindfulness. And you know, that sounds maybe trivial to somebody who's not familiar with Nurse coaching. Sure, we know mindfulness is research fact and very effective, but it just goes so much deeper than that.You know, we don't often as Nurses, allow ourselves enough time, time with our patients, time with ourselves, time to breathe, time to drink water, to take a rest, so allowing time and space to transpire, to let our bodies catch up with ourselves, to really hear what our patients are saying, you know, or what they're not saying.Time is... I really think mindfulness and time are so connected that we can be mindful, intentionally mindful, if we allow ourselves more time. So that is a big one. You know, I think that's a big one in this busy healthcare space, allowing more time or creating a way to allow for more of that." ~Maggie Gardner RN, BSN, HWNC-BC, CH-CAh Ha MomentsAs Nurses, we can do things to numb our emotional experiences- social media, alcohol, drugs, ignoring the things we experience - this is not serving you, it never has- maybe there is another way...There are so many pathways you can choose to take in your professional and personal life- go in the direction that lights you up- that is the best way to go- even if it's scaryYour sensitive heart is exactly what is needed to shift the way the healthcare system is being run!  You are exactly where you need to be, right now.

The holiday season is here, and with it comes all the celebrations—and let's be honest, plenty of opportunities to indulge in alcohol. But for women over 40, drinking can feel like a balancing act. How much is too much? What's the best way to enjoy a drink without derailing your health goals? And how does alcohol really affect your body as you age, especially during menopause? In this episode, I sit down with my friend and expert Nurse Coach, Olga Geissler, to tackle all these questions and more. We share practical tips for navigating holiday drinking, understanding how alcohol impacts your body, and finding a mindful way to enjoy the season without guilt or guesswork. Whether you're looking to moderate your intake or just want to feel empowered in your choices, this conversation is packed with insights you don't want to miss!

“…the problem and what is driving Nurses from the profession in droves like never seen before— please don't talk to me about attrition, well, yes, that's a factor—the world is hemorrhaging Nurses. And that's a quote from Dr. Terrance Hill, medical sociologist, the world is hemorrhaging Nurses and the root cause for that, it's not about burnout.And please stop gaslighting Nurses about burnout resilience. Please just stop. The reason.  The root cause, according to my research, five years, four disciplines, is avoidable, Nurse Specific Traumatization. And this would be this historical trauma, where we are unknowingly transmitting." ~ Dr. Lorre Laws PhD, RN Ah Ha MomentsAll Nurses have, (or will have) experienced traumaEnough blame on Nurses. Healthcare system, wake up!  Instead of putting the blame on your employees, let's address the systemic problems that are causes of avoidable traumas… understaffing, bullying, violence, not addressing high acuity, lack of resources and still demanding exceptional care and more…Thinking that solving burnout will fix all Nursing problems is all wrong, what if what we're experiencing is because of trauma exposure?

82: Uplifting Messages from the Universe! Annie Jones PhD, MBA, MSN, RN, AOCN, NC-BC Highlights“I thank the universe and have much gratitude. I think what's on my heart is that community is so important.  And it's our own responsibility for ourselves, and to remember that when we see another member of our community— so in other words, our Nursing group, our Nurse coaches in particular— is that we're a sister and brotherhood, and we have to reach out to keep ourselves together in a world that is designed, at the moment, to tear us from all ends.” ~ Annie Jones PhD, MBA, MSN, RN, AOCN, NC-BCAh Ha MomentsThe universe is always supporting you.  Giving you what you need and who you need to elevate you and sustain you towards whatever you desire.Life will take you on many twists and turns and the universe will guide you.You will be faced with challenges and possibilities, and you get to choose.  Maybe you even become a Possibilitarian!Listen to the messages the universe is sending you.Links and ResourcesIntegrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION! podcastBarbara Dossey's websiteHarmony HillBonney & Richard Schaub - Transpersonal Nurse CoachingHealth Forward LLCAnnie's LinkedInHarmony Hill in Union, WA Wings of Hope*****Integrative Nurse Coach Academy I Integrative Nurse Coach FoundationWe provide nurses with a global community for learning, networking, and reconnecting.

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.

"Nurses are so well suited for psychedelics, and we bring so many skill sets that other disciplines don't, and I don't think any one discipline has it all, but I think we bring a really important piece of the puzzle. And if you think about it, Nurses are with patients in non ordinary states of consciousness, sometimes every day.  If you're a hospice Nurse or working in labor and delivery, if you're in Psych, if you're working with patients, you know, coming in and out of anesthesia, patients with delirium. So many reasons why somebody could be an altered state or even just shock trauma. You know, emergency Nursing. And Nurses often are with patients for prolonged periods of time. You know, offering their caring, healing presence." ~ Dr. Stephanie Van Hope DNP, RN, NC-BCAh-Ha MomentsPsychedelic medicine is becoming more mainstream, and Nurses are stepping up willingly to lead and support their patients, clients and communitiesNurses are perfectly aligned to lead and work in psychedelic medicine as they are often with patients in altered states of consciousness throughout a shiftSacred medicine, also connected to entheogens, because they can help create a link to God within or to experience God within and the use of rituals and traditions to connect with the DivineNurses, you can absolutely take your passions and your knowledge and use both to create courses, programs, concepts and ideas that you know in your heart and will support fellow humans (and yourself) on life's journeyLinks and ResourcesIntegrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION! podcastIntegrative Nurse Coach Certificate Program Return to Roots course pageAJN Psychedelics Article:  Penn, A., Dorsen, C.

"I finally did find my purpose, and my purpose is to nurture an atmosphere of unlimited potential for those around me. And when I typed those words out, I cried, and I still get emotional about it, because I'm like, you know what?It doesn't matter what situation, what relationship, what Nursing field I work in. It doesn't even matter if I'm a Nurse, a teacher, a stay at home mom. My purpose can be fulfilled through every single thing that I do.

And that's how we should be practicing.  It's all not patient care, some of it's the practice environment. And maybe there's best practices for how to create a better work environment." ~Jill Arzouman DNP, RN, ACNS, BC, CMSRN, NC-BC, RYT-200Ah-Ha MomentsEvidence-Based Practice uses a set to take research and translate into practice at the bedside, as it can take 15-17 years to get knowledge into actual practiceYou should never have to be faced with a case of the Sunday Scaries.
