We’ll cover: How to get clear on your passion and niche Simple ways to start sharing your expertise Who to reach out to for opportunities (and how to do it) Why consistency is key to building trust and authority How to create your own opportunities when they don’t already exist Whether your passion is behaviour, wellbeing, nutrition, or something totally unique, this episode will help you see how to take the first steps toward turning your ideas into something more.

    Ep.38 Confidence Q&A: Owning Your Worth, Speaking Up & Showing Up

    In this episode, I’m answering your confidence questions- from how to prove you’re confident (spoiler: you don’t need to) to how I handle being around outspoken colleagues without shrinking myself. I’m also sharing my thoughts on body image and how I’ve learned to manage those struggles while still showing up fully in my work. We’ll talk about finding your voice, holding your space, and making progress in your career, even if you’re working full-time and trying to break into a new niche like exotics. This is a real, honest conversation about self-trust, mindset shifts, and why true confidence doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful. ______________________________ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE Webinar- Mastering Clinical Confidence ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Coaching Enquiry form⁠ ⁠⁠⁠The Positive Vet Nurse Confidence Coaching CPD Course - use code: PVN25 for 25% off ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Submit Your Questions here! _____________________________ Resources: Mind.org.uk on Body Dysmorphiaflourishwithciandra - recovery coach“Manifest” by Roxie Nafousi – Chapters 5 and 6 talk deeply about self-worth and self-image.VetLife

    Ep. 36 Fixing Your Constant Validation Craving

    Ever feel like you’re giving your all at work, at home, online and it just goes unnoticed? In this episode, we’re talking about that quiet sting of feeling unappreciated, and why so many of us crave validation more than we realise. I’m sharing personal stories from my own career when it felt like no one noticed the extra effort, and how easy it is to start tying your worth to external recognition (especially in a field like vet med). We'll dive into why validation-seeking shows up, how to spot it, and the mindset shifts and practical tips that helped me stop chasing approval and start celebrating my own quiet wins instead. If you've ever thought, "What’s the point if no one notices?" this pep talk is for you. ________________________________ ⁠Book a FREE coaching call with me!⁠ ⁠The Positive Vet Nurse Confidence Coaching CPD Course - use code: PVN25 for 25% off ⁠ ⁠FREE Webinar- Mastering Clinical Confidence ⁠ ⁠Submit Your Questions here!

    Ep. 35 Silence Your Inner Critic For GOOD!

    In this episode, we’re tackling that relentless voice in your head - the inner critic. You know, the one that tells you you’re not good enough, smart enough, or capable enough. But what if I told you that silencing it isn’t about fighting it but understanding it? I’ll walk you through how to put a name and face to your inner critic, separate it from your identity, and approach it with compassion rather than resistance. Because beneath the criticism is often a protective instinct - one that we can learn from instead of being controlled by. If you’ve ever felt held back by self-doubt or imposter syndrome, this episode will give you the tools to shift your perspective and regain confidence in yourself. Let’s rewrite the narrative together! ________________________________ Book a FREE coaching call with me!
