    237: Nurse Coach Success Stories: Colleen Rosenberg

    What happens when you stop waiting to feel ready, and just go all in anyway? Colleen, a pediatric nurse turned nurse coach, shares her raw and honest journey from certification to building a thriving coaching practice. In this conversation with Shelby, she opens up about fear, visibility, investing in herself, and what it actually takes to go from “thinking about it” to signing paying clients while still working full-time. This episode is a real behind-the-scenes look at what it means to step into leadership, trust the process, and build something meaningful even when it feels uncomfortable. In this episode, we talk about: Moving straight from certification into business and why momentum mattersThe fear of being seen online and hitting “post” anywayWhy your first clients won’t come from posting, but from reaching outWhat it really takes to sign your first paying clientsLearning to sit with fear instead of waiting for it to disappearThe power of repetition, feedback, and watching your own growth in real timeBuilding a coaching business while working full-time and managing real lifeShifting from getting clients to becoming an exceptional coach Colleen’s story is a powerful reminder that confidence doesn’t come first. Action does. And when you’re willing to show up, feel the fear, and keep going anyway, everything starts to change. If you’ve been sitting on the edge, waiting for the “right time,” this episode might just be the push you didn’t know you needed.

    236: The Hidden Reasons You’re Repelling Money (Part 3)

    In this final part of the money consciousness series, Laura uncovers the hidden beliefs that quietly repel money, including judging wealthy people, fearing disconnection from others, and believing money is limited. She shows how these patterns are rooted in identity and the need to feel safe and accepted, not in a lack of strategy. Through personal stories and coaching insights, Laura highlights how thoughts like “more money means more responsibility” or questioning if it’s okay to earn more can lead to self sabotage and staying small. She also reframes financial freedom as an internal state rather than a specific number. The episode closes with a powerful reminder that shifting your relationship with money starts within. When you create safety, expand your capacity, and challenge limiting beliefs, earning and receiving become far more natural and aligned.

    235: Charging Your Worth (part 2)

    In today’s episode, Laura takes listeners inside real coaching conversations from the Money Consciousness masterclass, where the focus shifts from theory to the lived experience of money beliefs. Laura explores how fear, past experiences, and the need to be seen a certain way can create tension around charging, receiving, and even looking at money. From undercharging to navigating a partner’s mindset to avoiding bank accounts altogether, each story highlights how deeply personal and emotional money really is. The episode reframes financial growth as internal work first. When beliefs shift and safety with money increases, earning and receiving become far more natural and sustainable.

    234: What is Money...Really? (part 1)

    In this first part of a powerful 3-part Money Consciousness workshop, we start at the root — not with strategies or numbers, but with the beliefs that quietly shape every financial decision you make. Because money isn’t just money. It’s security. It’s power. It’s stressful. It’s freedom. It’s energy. It’s something you were taught to fear, chase, avoid, or control… often without ever questioning it. This episode opens the conversation by breaking down the most common definitions of money and where they come from — family dynamics, societal messaging, career structures, and the subtle conditioning that starts long before you ever earn your first dollar. You’ll hear real-time reflections and honest conversations from participants inside the workshop as they begin to recognize their own patterns, including how money shows up in their careers, relationships, and sense of self-worth. There’s no fixing in this part. No “5 steps to make more money.” Just awareness. And that’s exactly the point. Because you can’t shift a money pattern you don’t even realize you’re running. This is where you start to see it.

    233: NLCA 33: Why Selling Feels So Scary For Nurses (How to do it Ethically)

    In this episode, Laura talks all about sales. She shares why so many nurses avoid sales and how that avoidance quietly blocks both impact and income. The truth is, sales is not a personality trait you either have or don’t. It is a skill. And like any clinical skill, it gets stronger with practice. The real issue is not a lack of certifications or knowledge. It is mindset, experience, and a willingness to actually try. You will hear a powerful reframe on what you are really selling. Not sessions. Not time. Transformation. Outcomes. A version of your client that does not exist yet but absolutely could. Shelby also breaks down what makes someone say yes, how to lead a clean and ethical sales conversation, and why “maybe” is often just fear in disguise. If you have ever worried about being too new, too inexperienced, or too uncomfortable to charge, this episode calls that out directly. You do not need to be perfect to create value. You need to show up, hold space, and trust the process. Because at the end of the day, avoiding sales is not staying safe. It is staying stuck. And the people you are meant to help stay stuck right along with you.

    231: The Golden Ratio

    In today’s episode, Shelby and Laura break down what actually creates success in private practice and why it is not mystical or reserved for other people. Actual client creation is mathematical and built through repetition, volume, and consistent connecting and inviting. If you are showing up emotionally but not directly inviting people, the numbers will always reflect that. They walk through clear, real world ratios so you know what to expect, including the idea that 10 clean invites typically lead to 2 calls, and that 2 calls per week can steadily build a sustainable practice. The focus is on doing what works even when discomfort, fear, or self doubt is loud, and learning to measure progress by right action rather than immediate results. They also talk about nervous system regulation, community support, and why most nurse coaches do not succeed alone. This episode is an encouraging and grounding reminder that success comes from learning the skills, staying neutral, and continuing to connect and invite, even during the lulls.

    230: How I Confront My Anxiety And Be Successful

    In today’s episode, Shelby shares her journey from denying she had anxiety to learning to work alongside it while building a successful business. After being diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder while waiting for open heart surgery, she discovered that anxiety isn't a sign of failure. It's often a sign of growth and expansion. Shelby opens up about her current anxiety triggers as a business owner: making decisions that impact her team, navigating corporate structure for the first time, and the weight of responsibility as the company grows. She shares how anxiety manifested during her six-month wait for open heart surgery during the pandemic, and how doubling down on her business during that time actually helped her manage the fear. Five practical tools Shelby uses to manage anxiety: Shorten the decision windowGive yourself 24-48 hours max, then trust yourself to decide and adjust laterSeparate facts from fearWrite down what's actually happening vs. the story you're telling yourselfRegulate before you strategizeGet outside, move your body, calm your nervous system before making decisionsTreat anxiety as data, not directiveIt might mean prepare or slow down, but rarely means quitBuild tolerance, not avoidanceConfidence comes from doing the things that make you nervous, repeatedly Anxiety and success are not opposites. Every successful person feels fear and anxiety. They just keep moving anyway. You don't need to be fearless or anxiety-free to build something meaningful. You just need to be willing to move while fear is in the car with you. Disclaimer: Shelby is a nurse life coach, not a therapist. This shares her personal experience.
