What role does spirituality play in transformational nurse coaching?In Part 1 of this special three-part workshop series, we explore one of the most powerful topics in coaching: spirituality.Whether spirituality is central to your life or something you're only beginning to explore, this conversation creates space to examine your own beliefs without judgment. Through personal stories, research, and reflections from our nurse coaching community, we discuss how our spiritual beliefs influence the way we show up for ourselves and our clients.As coaches, we can only guide others as deeply as we've been willing to explore ourselves. This episode invites you to begin that journey with openness, curiosity, and compassion.In this episode, you'll learn:Why spirituality naturally emerges during transformational coachingThe difference between spirituality and religion, and why they aren't always the sameHow your personal beliefs influence your coaching presenceWhy psychological safety is essential for both coaches and clientsCommon fears surrounding spirituality and religious traumaThe concept of spiritual pluralism, exclusivism, and a new perspective called "perceptual exclusivism"Insights gathered from more than 120 nurse coaches about their spiritual beliefs and experiencesWhy cultivating your own inner work allows you to coach at a deeper levelHow resonance and personal energy impact every coaching conversationThe most powerful coaching doesn't come from having all the answers. It comes from creating a safe space where both coach and client can explore life's deepest questions with curiosity, humility, and compassion.Resource MentionedA Shift in Being by Leon VanderPolWatch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/t_aqfBeG46YMentioned in this episode:Nurse Coach Residencyhttps://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/nurse-coach-residency

241: The Real Math of a Nurse Coaching Practice (What Six Figures Actually Looks Like)
In today’s episode, Laura breaks down the real math behind building a profitable nurse coaching practice while cutting through fear and uncertainty to show you exactly what it takes to replace (and exceed) a traditional nursing income.Why it's "simple, not easy" - The framework for success is straightforward; what's hard is the internal shift in identity, fear of rejection, and limiting beliefsTraditional nursing income vs. coaching income - A nurse earning ~$40/hr working 36 hrs/week makes ~$74K/year; 10 coaching clients can generate the same income working far fewer hoursReal pricing numbers:New grad: $1,800/package → $72K/year (10 clients)Mid-career: $2,500/package → $100K/yearEstablished (2–3+ years): $3,000/package → $120K/yearTime breakdown — Full-time practice = 20–25 hrs/week total; 10 clients at 90 min/session = ~15 hrs of direct client work per monthPart-time model — 5–8 clients is fully achievable alongside other commitmentsThe 5-year projection — Why nurse coaching outpaces traditional nursing paths long-termReverse engineering $10K/month — At a $2,500 package, you need 4 "yes" conversations, ~16 proposals, and 40–60 invites per month (2–3 hours of outreach)The tugboat vs. lighthouse shift — Early on you invite people in; over time, clients come to youTop 5 Fears Laura Addresses"I'm an introvert" — Coaching is built for introverts"I suck at sales" — Sales is a learnable skill; nurse coaches call it advocacy"Who can afford coaching?" — Coaching is a $2.2B industry and tends to be recession-proof"I feel guilty charging" — Why charging clients is actually an act of belief in them"I'm an imposter" — Why imposter syndrome signals high intelligence and capacity for growthThe 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.Connect with us:Instagram: @successfulnursecoachesWebsite: www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.comJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesuccessfulnursecoachWatch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/HU-MJ0CqndcMentioned in this episode:Cohort 7https://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/
