In this episode of The Successful Nurse Coaches podcast, Shelby discusses the challenges and transformative power of selling nurse coaching. She reframes sales as a deep service to humanity, emphasizing the importance of ethical selling and advocating for clients' potential. Shelby shares personal experiences and insights on how to approach sales with confidence and integrity, encouraging listeners to view selling as a form of leadership and transformation.Shelby emphasizes that selling is fundamentally about helping clients make decisions that honor their potential, rather than merely closing a transaction. Ethical selling is likened to advocating for a patient's healing in a hospital, where the focus is on service to humanity. The goal of a proposal is to reach a decision, not just a 'yes', as leaving clients in a 'maybe' is not effective coaching leadership. Shelby highlights that sales calls should feel magical and empowering, and that confidence in sales comes with practice and repetition.Watch on YouTube:https://youtu.be/y-mSCSv1F6AMentioned in this episode:Join us LIVE for our Free Coaching Demo - Nov 7th at 6pm CSThttps://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/events

In this episode, Laura dives into one of the most common misconceptions in both life and business—the idea that you need to feel motivated before you take action.After recovering from a two-week illness that left her feeling drained and unmotivated, Laura began reflecting on how easy it is to equate motivation with success—and how dangerous that belief can be for entrepreneurs and coaches alike.

When you simply don’t want to do the work?Laura shares honest insights from her own experience, blending personal reflection with neuroscience and coaching tools that will help you understand motivation in a new way. She reminds us that action—not inspiration—is what creates momentum, and that discipline, systems, and alignment are what sustain it.You’ll hear:Why waiting for motivation keeps you stuckHow action actually creates motivation through dopamine and progressWhy alignment—not passion alone—creates sustainable motivationHow to coach clients who feel unmotivated or “stuck”The difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, and how to work with bothThe importance of building systems and habits that don’t rely on feelingsWhy alignment with purpose fuels long-term consistency in businessLaura also offers practical tools for nurse coaches to help clients (and themselves) move forward even when the feeling isn’t there—from the “five whys” exercise to 21-day habit building and daily systems that strengthen self-trust over time.If you’ve ever felt unmotivated, burned out, or disconnected from your purpose, this episode is a powerful reminder that success doesn’t depend on how you feel—it depends on what you choose to do next.Tune in to learn how to take action without waiting for motivation, and how to create a coaching practice that’s driven by purpose, not fleeting emotion.Mentioned in this episode:Join us LIVE for our Free Coaching Demo - Nov 7th at 6pm CSThttps://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/events

Stop Overthinking. Just Do the Reps.You want to get better at coaching? Faster? The truth is way less glamorous than Instagram makes it out to be: you’ve got to put in the reps. Period. Your brain will try to talk you out of it. The personal development world will sell you the idea that it’s an energy or manifesting problem. But if you want to sharpen your skills, grow your business, and actually feel confident as a coach—you have to coach more.In this episode, Shelby breaks down why the antidote to almost every problem in your coaching business is volume. Just like when you were a brand-new nurse fumbling through your first IV or assessment, confidence didn’t come from reading about it—it came from doing it. Coaching is the same.You’ll hear why your first 10 hours as a coach feel wildly different from your first 1,000, how confidence is simply knowing what comes next, and why even if you are manifesting or calibrating your energy, action is still the thing that moves the needle. If you want more sales, more clients, and more impact, the answer is simpler than you think: do the reps.What You’ll Learn:Discover why “confidence” isn’t a feeling but a byproduct of repetition and familiarity.Understand how the nurse-to-coach analogy proves that time in the chair is everything.Explore why manifesting and energetics might help—but never replace—consistent action.Learn how more conversations lead to more proposals, and more proposals lead to more clients.Get a no-fluff, straight-talk reminder that in business (and coaching), volume beats perfection every time.If this episode hit home, make sure to subscribe to The Successful Nurse Coach Podcast so you don’t miss future no-BS coaching conversations.

Hey team,In this episode, I’m naming something we’ve all felt in certification but haven’t quite had the words for: the invisible curriculum.Yes, you signed up to become a nurse coach—to get CEUs, frameworks, and a board certification. But what you actually get is a mirror held up to your deepest beliefs, fears, and identity.You might be thinking, “Why does it feel like my life is coaching me?” You’re not doing it wrong—this is the work. It’s emotional, messy, and transformational. You’re not just earning a title… you’re becoming someone new.I share why this part of the process matters, how it sets our program apart, and why it's the real reason Laura and I decided to run a certification in the first place.Ask yourself:What part of the invisible curriculum are you learning right now? Courage? Trust? Vulnerability? Whatever it is, you’re becoming. And I’m proud of you.—Shelby 💛Mentioned in this episode:Join us LIVE for our Free Coaching Demo - Nov 7th at 6pm CSThttps://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/events

In this solo episode, I’m coming to you with a question that’s been sitting heavy in my heart lately:What if alignment doesn’t feel good at first?What if it feels like fear, like resistance, like vulnerability? What if pursuing your purpose actually stretches you more than staying stuck ever did?I talk to hundreds of nurse coaches every month—and the theme I hear over and over again is that we want alignment. We want authenticity, freedom, fulfillment. But when we start to chase it… it doesn’t always feel good. And then we think something’s wrong with us.In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own journey—the tears, the closet cries, the “I don’t want to do this today” moments. I’m sharing how I’ve built the muscle of consistency and why I still choose this work even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.Here’s what I talk about:Why we confuse alignment with ease (and why that’s dangerous)The emotional labor of building something meaningfulThe myth that hard = wrongMy personal battles with imposter syndrome, leadership, and showing up when I didn’t feel like itWhy consistency (not motivation) is the true superpowerA better question to ask than “Do I want to?”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. 💕Mentioned in this episode:Join us LIVE for our Free Coaching Demo - Nov 7th at 6pm CSThttps://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/events

Hey friends, it’s Shelby here 👋 and today’s episode is a little different… because it’s as much for me and Laura as it is for you.We’ve been in the trenches lately—cleaning up messes, making hard calls, doing deep reflection—and as we got to talking, we realized: We need a pep talk. So we hit record.This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about what it really means to stay in this game long-term. It’s not always sexy or aligned or inspirational. Sometimes it’s hard and gritty and quiet and you just… keep going anyway.We share the three truths that have kept us grounded (and humbled) over the past few months, and we hold nothing back.Here’s what we talk about:💥 Why you’re not the exception to the rule—and why that’s actually a good thing🧠 The difference between motivation and commitment (and why you can’t rely on the former)😅 How to keep going when it feels like everything is falling apart📆 Why your mood isn’t a board member in your business⏳ And a reminder that time will pass no matter what—so you might as well spend it building something meaningfulIf you’re in a low season, this episode is a hand on your back. If you’re ready to quit, this episode is a flashlight in the dark. And if you’re flying high, tuck this one away.

In this episode of the Successful Nurse Coach Podcast, I dive into the role fear plays in our personal growth and decision-making—especially for nurses who are thinking about becoming coaches.Fear is sneaky. It often shows up wearing the mask of logic or "just being practical." But what’s really happening under the surface is a set of deeply ingrained cognitive biases that keep us small. I unpack how those patterns show up, how they distort reality, and how to begin shifting them.I also talk about the importance of self-compassion on this journey—because you can’t bully yourself into transformation. And I share why embracing imperfection is a courageous and necessary step if you want to move forward with purpose and clarity.Ultimately, my hope is that this episode gives you the language and insight to name your fear, honor it, and then choose growth anyway.Let’s go there together.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. 💕Mentioned in this episode:Join us LIVE for our Free Coaching Demo - Nov 7th at 6pm CSThttps://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/events
