| 4/27/26 | 235: Charging Your Worth (part 2) | In today’s episode, Laura takes listeners inside real coaching conversations from the Money Consciousness masterclass, where the focus shifts from theory to the lived experience of money beliefs.Laura explores how fear, past experiences, and the need to be seen a certain way can create tension around charging, receiving, and even looking at money. From undercharging to navigating a partner’s mindset to avoiding bank accounts altogether, each story highlights how deeply personal and emotional money really is.The episode reframes financial growth as internal work first. When beliefs shift and safety with money increases, earning and receiving become far more natural and sustainable.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 | — | ||||||
| 4/20/26 | 234: What is Money...Really? (part 1) | In this first part of a powerful 3-part Money Consciousness workshop, we start at the root — not with strategies or numbers, but with the beliefs that quietly shape every financial decision you make.Because money isn’t just money.It’s security. It’s power. It’s stressful. It’s freedom. It’s energy. It’s something you were taught to fear, chase, avoid, or control… often without ever questioning it.This episode opens the conversation by breaking down the most common definitions of money and where they come from — family dynamics, societal messaging, career structures, and the subtle conditioning that starts long before you ever earn your first dollar.You’ll hear real-time reflections and honest conversations from participants inside the workshop as they begin to recognize their own patterns, including how money shows up in their careers, relationships, and sense of self-worth.There’s no fixing in this part. No “5 steps to make more money.”Just awareness.And that’s exactly the point.Because you can’t shift a money pattern you don’t even realize you’re running.This is where you start to see it.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 | — | ||||||
| 4/13/26 | 233: NLCA 33: Why Selling Feels So Scary For Nurses (How to do it Ethically) | In this episode, Laura talks all about sales. She shares why so many nurses avoid sales and how that avoidance quietly blocks both impact and income. The truth is, sales is not a personality trait you either have or don’t. It is a skill. And like any clinical skill, it gets stronger with practice. The real issue is not a lack of certifications or knowledge. It is mindset, experience, and a willingness to actually try.You will hear a powerful reframe on what you are really selling. Not sessions. Not time. Transformation. Outcomes. A version of your client that does not exist yet but absolutely could. Shelby also breaks down what makes someone say yes, how to lead a clean and ethical sales conversation, and why “maybe” is often just fear in disguise.If you have ever worried about being too new, too inexperienced, or too uncomfortable to charge, this episode calls that out directly. You do not need to be perfect to create value. You need to show up, hold space, and trust the process.Because at the end of the day, avoiding sales is not staying safe. It is staying stuck. And the people you are meant to help stay stuck right along with you.Connect with us:Instagram: @successfulnursecoachesWebsite: www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.comJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesuccessfulnursecoachWatch full episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/QbNVOJiVnbIMentioned in this episode:Apply for Nurse Coach Residency here: https://www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.com/maketheleapwithTSNC | — | ||||||
| 4/6/26 | 232: Pre-Coaching Ritual: A Grounding Practice | In today’s episode, Shelby guides us through a grounding practice designed for nurse coaches to use before taking action in their business. Whether that's inviting potential clients, delivering proposals, or heading into coaching calls, it’s important to regulate your nervous system in preparation for this work.What You'll Experience:Somatic regulation techniques to calm nervous system activationGuidance to shift from outcome control to service-focused presencePractice separating old fears from present-moment actionBreathwork to lower heart rate and release tensionVisualization to embody your future steady selfWhen to Use This Episode:Before client invitations or sales conversationsPrior to coaching calls or proposalsAs part of your daily business ritualAnytime you need to move from activation to grounded actionYou don't need confidence to get started.

| 3/30/26 | 231: The Golden Ratio | In today’s episode, Shelby and Laura break down what actually creates success in private practice and why it is not mystical or reserved for other people. Actual client creation is mathematical and built through repetition, volume, and consistent connecting and inviting. If you are showing up emotionally but not directly inviting people, the numbers will always reflect that.They walk through clear, real world ratios so you know what to expect, including the idea that 10 clean invites typically lead to 2 calls, and that 2 calls per week can steadily build a sustainable practice. The focus is on doing what works even when discomfort, fear, or self doubt is loud, and learning to measure progress by right action rather than immediate results.They also talk about nervous system regulation, community support, and why most nurse coaches do not succeed alone. This episode is an encouraging and grounding reminder that success comes from learning the skills, staying neutral, and continuing to connect and invite, even during the lulls.Connect with us:Instagram: @successfulnursecoachesWebsite: www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.comJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesuccessfulnursecoachTune in to our full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/8VW0BrUlNKwMentioned in this episode:Apply for Nurse Coach Residency here: https://www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.com/maketheleapwithTSNC | — | ||||||
| 3/23/26 | 230: How I Confront My Anxiety And Be Successful | In today’s episode, Shelby shares her journey from denying she had anxiety to learning to work alongside it while building a successful business. After being diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder while waiting for open heart surgery, she discovered that anxiety isn't a sign of failure. It's often a sign of growth and expansion.Shelby opens up about her current anxiety triggers as a business owner: making decisions that impact her team, navigating corporate structure for the first time, and the weight of responsibility as the company grows. She shares how anxiety manifested during her six-month wait for open heart surgery during the pandemic, and how doubling down on her business during that time actually helped her manage the fear.Five practical tools Shelby uses to manage anxiety:Shorten the decision windowGive yourself 24-48 hours max, then trust yourself to decide and adjust laterSeparate facts from fearWrite down what's actually happening vs. the story you're telling yourselfRegulate before you strategizeGet outside, move your body, calm your nervous system before making decisionsTreat anxiety as data, not directiveIt might mean prepare or slow down, but rarely means quitBuild tolerance, not avoidanceConfidence comes from doing the things that make you nervous, repeatedlyAnxiety and success are not opposites. Every successful person feels fear and anxiety. They just keep moving anyway. You don't need to be fearless or anxiety-free to build something meaningful. You just need to be willing to move while fear is in the car with you.Disclaimer: Shelby is a nurse life coach, not a therapist. This shares her personal experience.

| 3/16/26 | 229: NLCA 32: What Changes When You Stop Playing Small? | In today’s episode, Laura explores the powerful idea of what changes when we stop playing small in our lives and careers. She challenges listeners to examine the subtle ways we keep ourselves safe by choosing reasonable goals, stability, and certainty instead of pursuing the bigger impact we quietly feel called to create. Through personal stories and reflections from her own nursing career, Laura explains how tension, misalignment, and dissatisfaction are often signals that we’re meant to grow beyond our current roles.She walks through the mindset shifts required to expand, including recognizing where we’re holding ourselves back, stepping into a new identity, and learning to tolerate uncertainty as part of growth. Laura emphasizes that alignment creates energy and momentum, while playing small often drains us over time. She encourages listeners to trust their internal whisper and that there may be something bigger available to them, and to begin exploring what it would look like to play a larger game in their work and lives.Connect with us:Instagram: @successfulnursecoachesWebsite: www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.comJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesuccessfulnursecoachWatch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/w0Cv8E3i0g8 | — | ||||||

| 2/23/26 | 226: Fear is Contagious and so Is Freedom | In today’s episode, Laura explores the universal human experience of fear and how our relationship with it impacts our effectiveness as nurse coaches. This conversation reveals why working on your relationship with fear is more valuable than perfecting your website, logo, or marketing materials.The Five Universal Human Fears:Fear of Rejection & Not Belonging - Will I be misunderstood? What will my coworkers think?Fear of Abandonment & Loss of Connection - What if being myself costs me my relationships?Fear of Failure - What if trying confirms my worst story about myself?Fear of Success & Visibility - What if I can't go back once I expand?Fear of Power & Responsibility - What if my impact is bigger than I know how to hold?Connect with us:Instagram: @successfulnursecoachesWebsite: www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.comJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesuccessfulnursecoachWatch full episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/7i3dwfxDp4sMentioned in this episode:Apply for Nurse Coach Residency here: https://www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.com/maketheleapwithTSNC | — | ||||||
| 2/16/26 | 225: Why Selling Feels So Wrong For Nurses | In today’s episode, Shelby and Laura dive into the identity shift that happens when you step into nurse coaching. If you’ve been second-guessing your prices, or waiting to feel “ready,” this conversation is your wake-up call. Together they unpack what it actually takes to move from free or inconsistent work, into confident, paid leadership. When you decide you’re a professional, everything changes.Key Takeaways• Decision creates momentum. When you decide you are a paid coach, your energy, language, and standards shift immediately.• Free coaching and undercharging often delay growth. Charging creates commitment on both sides and accelerates skill development.• Confidence is built through action, not overthinking.• You are not selling sessions. You are selling transformation. That requires clarity, structure, and belief in your process.• When you raise your standard for yourself, clients rise too.Connect with us:Instagram: @successfulnursecoachesWebsite: www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.comJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesuccessfulnursecoachWatch full episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/6cESbWtxxQ4Mentioned in this episode:Apply for Nurse Coach Residency here: https://www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.com/maketheleapwithTSNC | — | ||||||
| 2/9/26 | 224: What to do When your Client Isn't Getting Results | In today’s episode, Shelby walks nurse coaches through a very common and uncomfortable conversation in coaching: when a client isn’t seeing results, and must take ownership for the reasons why. Rather than framing this as a failure of motivation, Shelby reframes stalled progress as an issue of identity, capacity, and nervous system tolerance. She explains why trying harder, giving more strategy, or offering pep talks often backfires, and instead teaches coaches how to get curious, name what is happening without shame, and work through resistance at the identity level. Through real client examples, Shelby shows how to scale goals down, build capacity through micro actions, and discern when a client is not ready for the work. This episode is a grounded, honest guide for coaches who want to support real change for their clients.Watch our full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/8SIcH1IxOVAConnect with us:Instagram: @successfulnursecoachesWebsite: www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.comJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesuccessfulnursecoach | — | ||||||
| 2/2/26 | 223: NLCA 30 - Why Nurse Life Coaches Make the Best Health Coaches | In this episode, Laura explores why Nurse Life Coaches are uniquely positioned to thrive in the future of healthcare and coaching. As information becomes increasingly accessible through AI and technology, she explains that knowledge alone is no longer the differentiator. Real change comes from supporting identity shifts, nervous system regulation, and human behavior change. Laura shares how traditional health coaching often stalls at education and accountability, while nurse life coaching works at the deeper levels where transformation actually happens. This conversation reframes coaching as relational, embodied, and outcome driven, and invites nurses to step into a model of care that is both sustainable and deeply impactful.Watch full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/drjQ9zR_1b0Connect 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 | — | ||||||
| 1/26/26 | 222: Capacity Before Confidence | In this episode, Shelby and Laura take listeners behind the scenes of what it actually means to become a professional nurse coach. This is not a conversation about hype or shortcuts. It is a real, nuanced discussion about capacity, confidence, identity shifts, and why being new can feel so disorienting in leadership and entrepreneurship. They unpack why nurse coaching is inherently pioneering work, why confidence can never come before action, and how repetition, community, and regulation are what allow nurse coaches to stay in the game long enough to succeed. This episode normalizes the discomfort of growth and reframes it as a necessary, meaningful part of building a sustainable practice and a new professional identity.Highlights in the discussion:Confidence is built through repetition, not readiness.Discomfort is part of becoming a professional, not a sign to quit.Capacity means staying present with uncertainty without collapsing or overcorrecting.Community matters because it prevents isolation and early burnout.Residency acts as failure insurance, giving nurse coaches support, feedback, and structure while they build real-world experience.Sustainable success comes from staying in the process long enough for competence and self-trust to form.Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7ncLBZ36bW4Connect with us:Instagram: @successfulnursecoachesWebsite: www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.comJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesuccessfulnursecoach | — | ||||||
| 1/19/26 | 221: Are You Special? | In today’s episode, Shelby reflects on graduating 28 clients and experiencing her first week without active clients since 2022. She delivers a candid reality check about building a coaching business: no one is special or exempt from the fundamental rules of business. Success doesn't come from passion, manifestation, or good intentions alone—it requires consistent action, discipline, and a willingness to do hard things repeatedly. Shelby emphasizes that feeling too comfortable in your business is actually a warning sign, and entrepreneurs must constantly find their growth edge to keep their businesses alive and thriving.Shelby outlines five non-negotiable rules that apply to every coach:People buy because they feel seen and you invite them (not because you're passionate)Visibility matters because no one can buy from you if they don't know you existConsistency beats brilliance every single timeNo one is coming to rescue you so you must execute on your ownTime alone doesn't build your business—only action does.She challenges listeners to track their actual working hours in 15-minute increments for three days to see how much time they're truly spending on business-building activities versus scrolling or just thinking about work.You don't need to be special—you just need to be willing to show up when it's boring, awkward, or uncomfortable, and follow your plan even when you don't feel like it. While entrepreneurship is undeniably hard and requires grit and repetition, there are also incredible high points along the way—celebratory moments that should be bottled up as fuel for the challenging seasons that inevitably come.Watch full episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/DJcR-_yM1L0Connect 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 | — | ||||||

| 1/5/26 | 219: The Year of Giving Medium F*cks | In this episode, Laura kicks off 2026 with a candid and insightful solo discussion about her new approach to life and business: “The Year of Giving Medium Fs.” She explores the pitfalls of all-or-nothing thinking, the value of finding balance, and how embracing “medium Fs” can lead to more peace, consistency, and sustainable growth in both personal and professional life.Key Topics Covered:Why setting intentions and focusing on who you want to become is more powerful than chasing specific achievementsThe dangers of living at the extremes—giving all or none of your energy—and the benefits of finding a middle groundLaura’s personal goals for 2026, including financial growth with peace, health and nervous system regulation, and nurturing family relationshipsThe importance of boring, consistent habits for long-term health and successHow to balance ambition with emotional availability for family and friendsLetting go of algorithm drama and internet outrage to focus on meaningful workThe challenge (and value) of embracing “boring” consistency for high achieversAn invitation for listeners to find one area of their life to practice giving “medium Fs”Watch full episode on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/94wO9kqUvAUConnect 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 | — | ||||||

In this episode, they break down the L.E.A.P Framework, a practical and deeply human way to understand why change feels so hard and how to keep moving anyway. Whether you are considering nurse coaching, building a private practice, or standing at the edge of a personal or professional shift, this conversation offers clarity, reassurance, and a path forward. This is not about forcing confidence. It is about building it through action, trust, and repetition.The L.E.A.P Framework L is for Longing: The internal pull toward something more. This is the moment you realize you have outgrown where you are and can no longer ignore the desire for change.E is for Evidence Seeking: The phase where the brain looks for certainty before moving. This becomes a problem when evidence seeking turns into avoidance and delays action.A is for Ambiguity Tolerance: The ability to sit in uncertainty without collapsing, freezing, or quitting. This is one of the most important skills for entrepreneurship and leadership.P is for Practice: Repeated action builds certainty retroactively. Confidence, clarity, and skill are earned through doing, not thinking.Watch the full episode on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/k2YaK9M_YMAMentioned in this episode:Apply for Nurse Coach Residency here: https://www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.com/maketheleapwithTSNC | — | ||||||
| 12/22/25 | EP 217: Why Nurses Struggle to Receive Money (and How That Caps Their Impact) | Connect with us:Instagram: @successfulnursecoachesWebsite: www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.comJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesuccessfulnursecoachIn this solo episode, Laura delivers one of the most honest and confrontational conversations the Successful Nurse Coach Podcast has ever held. After a behind-the-scenes moment with mentors that shook her perspective, she unpacks a core issue holding nurses back from real impact: the inability to receive. This episode explores how nursing culture conditions martyrdom, why under-earning is not ethical, and how learning to receive money, praise, and support is essential for leadership, sustainability, and changing healthcare. If this episode makes you uncomfortable, that is the point. Discomfort is where deconditioning begins.In this episode, Laura shares:Nurses do not have a money problem. They have a receiving problem.Nursing culture rewards overgiving, endurance, and martyrdom while discouraging receiving.Impact in private practice is not based on hours worked but on outcomes created.Underearning does not make nurses more compassionate. It makes them exhausted, resentful, and exploitable.Learning to receive is an ethical responsibility if you want to lead and create change.Money creates safety. Safety creates clearer thinking. Clearer thinking creates better care.Private practice and nurse coaching force growth by requiring nurses to receive without guilt.Martyrdom is not moral high ground. It is a business model, and nurses have been the product.Receiving allows you to give from excess, alignment, and regulation instead of depletion.You cannot heal healthcare while financially depleted and resentful.If nurses want to lead the next evolution of healthcare, they must unlearn martyrdom and master receiving. Receiving is not greed. It is regulation, capacity, and leadership in action.Watch full episode on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/554LgCwFq3gIf 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.Mentioned in this episode:Apply for Nurse Coach Residency here: https://www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.com/maketheleapwithTSNC | — | ||||||
| 12/15/25 | 216: You’re Certified – Now What? Building Confidence as a New Nurse Coach | 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:Apply for Nurse Coach Residency here: https://www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.com/maketheleapwithTSNC | — | ||||||
