In this episode, Laura discusses the importance of presence over education in the nurse coaching process. She emphasizes that patients often do not need more information but rather a supportive presence that acknowledges their experiences and feelings.

This conversation explores how curiosity, trust, and understanding can lead to better health outcomes, and how a focus on vision, energy, skill set, and strategy can facilitate transformation in clients. Laura also highlights the significance of mindset and the placebo effect in the healing process, advocating for a more personalized and empathetic approach to patient care.

In this episode, Shelby sits down with nurse coach Honey Hull, who turned job loss into a powerful pivot. What started as chronic pain coaching has evolved into something bold: helping clients reclaim intimacy and sex in the face of pain.

Honey shares how she retrained her own nervous system, why rest was the hardest medicine, and what she’s learning as she leans into a taboo (but deeply needed) coaching niche.

We talk about:

• What pain reprocessing therapy is and how it works
• Why communication is often at the root of chronic pain
• How Honey helps clients return to pleasure, intimacy, and joy
• What it takes to keep going when business feels hard

You want to get better at coaching? Faster? The truth is way less glamorous than Instagram makes it out to be: you’ve got to put in the reps. Period. Your brain will try to talk you out of it. The personal development world will sell you the idea that it’s an energy or manifesting problem. But if you want to sharpen your skills, grow your business, and actually feel confident as a coach—you have to coach more.

In this episode, Shelby breaks down why the antidote to almost every problem in your coaching business is volume. Just like when you were a brand-new nurse fumbling through your first IV or assessment, confidence didn’t come from reading about it—it came from doing it. Coaching is the same.

You’ll hear why your first 10 hours as a coach feel wildly different from your first 1,000, how confidence is simply knowing what comes next, and why even if you are manifesting or calibrating your energy, action is still the thing that moves the needle. If you want more sales, more clients, and more impact, the answer is simpler than you think: do the reps.

• Discover why “confidence” isn’t a feeling but a byproduct of repetition and familiarity.
• Understand how the nurse-to-coach analogy proves that time in the chair is everything.
• Explore why manifesting and energetics might help—but never replace—consistent action.
• Learn how more conversations lead to more proposals, and more proposals lead to more clients.
• Get a no-fluff, straight-talk reminder that in business (and coaching), volume beats perfection every time.
