Heather talks with board-certified Nurse Coach Ginnine Morse about what it actually looks like to build a faith-based Nurse Coaching practice inside an incredibly diverse space like modern healthcare.After 15 years working in oncology, cardiology, postpartum, and case management, Ginnine began searching for fulfillment and wholeness beyond tasks and roles. Motherhood and a growing relationship with God started to change how she saw herself and how she practiced nursing. In this episode, she shares how Nurse Coaching gave her language and structure for things she already felt were missing in healthcare: choice, stillness, spiritual health, and identity beyond diagnosis.You’ll hear how faith-based Nurse Coaching creates space for curiosity and safety without imposing beliefs, and how releasing attachment to outcomes changed the way she shows up for her clients.Heather and Ginnine also discuss why spirituality is often avoided in healthcare, how community eases nurse isolation, and why slowing down creates real healing for nurses and patients alike.🎧 Tune in now.Want to know if Nurse Coaching is right for you?

Did you know that nurses have been at the absolute forefront of psychedelic healing since the 1950s, long before it became a modern wellness trend?In this fascinating episode, host Heather sits down with Angela Ward, a board-certified holistic nurse coach and certified psychedelic practitioner, to discuss the intersection of nursing, coaching, and psychedelic-assisted care.She argues that the nursing framework is uniquely suited for this work today because nurses have a long history of walking alongside people through profound transformations such as birth, death, and healing crises.By blending clinical expertise with a coaching model, nurses possess the specific capacity to monitor a client’s physical safety and medication responses while simultaneously holding space for transpersonal or non-ordinary human experiences.This approach allows nurses to move away from a prescriptive medical model and instead empower clients to discover their own definition of wholeness and actualize their personal visions for well-being.🔊 Don’t miss this one.
