Top 5 Fears Laura Addresses
The math isn't complicated. The work is internal. Every action you take to build your practice also transforms you into a more grounded, confident, healed version of yourself, and that's the greatest gift of the coaching modality.

In today’s episode of the Successful Nurse Coach Podcast, Laura dives into the power of identity and how the roles, systems, and environments around us quietly shape who we become.
Laura shares personal stories from her nursing career, including the realities of working through exhaustion, pregnancy, and people-pleasing tendencies, while unpacking how many nurses unknowingly adopt identities that leave them feeling stuck, disconnected, and misaligned.
This conversation explores the difference between living by default versus intentionally creating the version of yourself you truly want to become. From nurse to coach, employee to leader, Laura explains why lasting transformation starts with identity first, not strategy.
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve outgrown your current reality, this episode will challenge you to rethink who you are becoming and what is actually possible for your life.

Melissa Parsons spent more than two decades in nursing, from trauma and cath lab to becoming a nurse practitioner. But after years of feeling increasingly disconnected from the kind of healing she truly wanted to offer, she reached a breaking point. In this conversation with Shelby, Melissa shares the deeply personal journey that led her toward nurse coaching, spirituality, and building a business rooted in genuine human connection.
Together, they unpack the fear of being seen, the vulnerability of inviting people into coaching, and the surprising healing that can happen when nurses finally feel heard themselves.
In this episode, we talk about:
Melissa’s story is an honest reminder that sometimes the discomfort we feel is pointing us toward something more aligned. This episode is for the nurse who knows they’re meant for more, even if they can’t fully explain it yet.
“Because if you’re living in fear, you’re not fully here”. And this conversation may help bring you back to yourself.

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:
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
