This oneâs different. Raw. Off-the-cuff. Straight from the heart.
After four failed recording attempts, I knew I had to stop trying to make it polished and just press record. In this short but powerful episode of The Nurse Boss Shift, I share a prayer for every nurse navigating overwhelm, tough decisions, messy shifts, and moments of doubt - because I know what it feels like to be in it.
I talk about procrastination, perfectionism, faith, and why the very chaos you're feeling might be confirmation that you're being called to more.
If you've been needing a sign, needing peace, or just needed to hear that you're not alone - this is it. Let it bless you. And please, if it speaks to you, let me know.
Obedience led me here - and I believe it was for you.
Here are the highlights:
Setting the Tone for the Prayer (1:01)
Beginning the Prayer (1:16)
Prayer for Specific Needs and Challenges (3:35)
Encouragement and Final Prayer (5:50)

We made it to 100 episodes - and this oneâs got everything. From client wins to personal turning points, Iâm sharing the behind-the-scenes of a ribbon-cutting event that had me reflecting hard on the power of showing up (even when itâs uncomfortable).
Weâll discuss Nate, a shy but determined nursepreneur who pushed past overstimulation and fear to launch a practice thatâs already changing lives - and Iâll unpack how moments like his ripple into so much more than we realise.
I also take you back to my early teaching days and the moment I almost said no to an opportunity that ended up shaping my entire career.
If youâre still arguing for your limitations - âIâm too shy,â âI donât know how,â âNowâs not the right timeâ - this is the mindset shift you didnât know you needed. Let this be your reminder that the ripple effect starts with you.

Letâs talk about it: the mindset blocks, the stalled launches, and that weird guilt we feel about investing in ourselves.
In this episode, Dr Jones is sharing the hard truth sheâs seen play out over and over - the lower the investment, the lower the execution. Same course. Same framework. Different results. Why? Because how we value what we invest in is directly tied to what we get out of it.
Sheâs unpacking the psychology of money, why successful entrepreneurs invest to collapse time, and how shifting your view of money from expense to tool can unlock massive growth.
If youâve been sitting on your goals, avoiding big decisions, or playing small to avoid risk, this episode is your call to think (and act) like the CEO youâre becoming.

Thinking about hiring a coach but unsure if itâs worth the investment? In this episode, weâre tackling the big question every entrepreneur should ask: Do I really need a mentor?
Spoiler alert- yes, you do. We break down why mentorship isnât just a nice-to-have but an essential business strategy. With 70% of mentored businesses surviving longer and making more money, the numbers speak for themselves. But how do you choose the right coach? And how much should you really spend?
Weâre getting real about what makes a coaching program valuable, how to avoid throwing money at the wrong people, and why investing in yourself is the fastest way to level up. Whether youâre just starting or scaling to six figures, this episode will shift how you think about mentorship, success, and what it truly takes to build a profitable business.
