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:Nurse Life Coach Academy - Cohort 5https://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/certification
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:Nurse Life Coach Academy - Cohort 5https://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/certification
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. You’ll need it again.We recorded this from the middle, not the finish line—and I think that’s what makes it potent.Come listen. Cry if you need to. And let’s get back to it, together.🧡 With love and resilience, ShelbyConnect 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:Nurse Life Coach Academy - Cohort 5https://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/certification
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:Nurse Life Coach Academy - Cohort 5https://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/certification

Let’s be real — private practice isn’t always glamorous. In this episode, we're unpacking the unsexy truth that success often comes down to doing the same simple things over and over... and learning to love it.We’ll talk about why boredom is a sign of growth, how to reframe repetitive tasks as rituals of success, and why gamifying the grind might be your best strategy to stay motivated, creative, and consistent.Whether you're losing steam, avoiding your to-do list, or craving that early-day excitement again — this episode will help you fall back in love with the work that actually moves the needle.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why boredom is normal — and necessary — in private practiceHow nurse entrepreneurs sabotage momentum by chasing noveltyThe mindset shift from “I’m bored” to “I’m building”Easy ways to gamify the boring parts of businessReal-life examples of turning repetition into resultsWhy loving the boring stuff is what actually leads to big growthChallenge of the Week:Pick one “boring” task in your business — follow-ups, systems, admin, content batching — and gamify it.

In this episode, Shelby dives deep into one of the most common struggles new nurse coaches face: the fixer reflex.
