An holistic perspective on Healthcare from an experienced ICU RN with specific training in Health Coaching called Nurse Coaching (Think RN +Life Coach= Nurse Coach: RN NC-BC) Many medical professionals are walking away from traditional medicine roles because we are sick and tired of a system that promotes a sick and tired population instead of trying to find out the root causes for their symptoms. So this season will focus on Medical Professionals who are stepping into Professional Coaching roles and highlighting all of the amazing work that they are doing! So join me as I interview people from all different backgrounds to provide a glimpse into Healthcare that you otherwise wouldn’t get.  This show is for entertainment purposes only and I’m pretty sure that some lawyer somewhere would like for me to remind you that this is NOT MEANT AS MEDICAL ADVICE

    An ICU Nurse and a Hospice RN walk into a Podcast...

    A Truly Raw episode that shows how 2 Nurse Coaches from the 2 Nursing specialties that deal with the most death look at people's body's and soul's...  We may come from different backgrounds, but We can't help but see death more clearly than most.  And when a loved one is dying, who actually talks you through letting them go? Nobody. That's the problem. This is why I truly believe that people need a space to safely talk about End of Life Decision making because sometimes sons and daughters have a hard time dealing with Moma or Daddy’s inevitable ending and unfortunately it’s the person who's time on earth is up that’s suffering while the one’s fighting over the Life and Death decision feel like their killing Mama for letting the Natural occur… And the Feelings that people are experiencing aren’t the Problem, Your feelings are the Natural response for living in an Unnatural Environment… and by unnatural I mean that the normal dying process is not just all of a sudden being halted once you come through the ER and we slap a rubber hose up your nose…  NO , WE are systematically creating a landscape that I deem Pillgatory and we are using Chemistry and Technology to achieve it… NOW a DAYS We have a pill or injection that can alleviate almost any symptom but very rarely are we given anything that cures the ROOT CAUSE.  We also do studies to measure how many more years a studied individual may live but never does it reveal the Quality of those quote unquote EXTRA YEARS… So I want to start by making conversations around EVERYONE's inevitable Endings, well, I guess less painful for everyone.  So be on the lookout for my new app Enlightened Endings that's creating a community that can communicate around something REAL and Create True Communion.

    Jessica Hospice Hospice RN Holistic/Coach

    As I get closer to hosting my 1st Enlightened Endings Roundtable, I wanted to finally release this episode I recorded way back before my wife and I moved our family of 7 + 1dog into a new home...  It feels great to once again have the opportunity to highlight how different Nurse Coaches and Holistic Nurses are serving the world in unique and patient centered approaches. Jessica Ann was basically born a Nurse and spent a lot of time in the Hospice role so I think it's the perfect time to release this Episode prior to my Workshop/ Roundtable coming up on May 6th, 11:00am EST.  Most Nurses are Naturally Intuitive Beings, but Jess is Next Level and her Insights are Incredible so Enjoy this long over due episode and I hope to see you soon!
