What if introversion isn’t a limitation in coaching, but instead, a superpower that makes you extraordinary?

In this episode, Laura opens up about what it really means to be an introverted nurse stepping into entrepreneurship, visibility, and leadership. Far from the stereotypes of being shy or quiet, introversion is about energy, attunement, depth, and the ability to create a grounded presence that transforms people from the inside out.

Through personal stories and years of coaching experience, Laura reframes introversion as a powerful advantage in private practice, especially in one to one nursing coaching, where deep listening and intuitive awareness matter more than hype, charisma, or filling a room with noise.

This episode is your permission slip to stop performing like an extrovert and start building a business that honors your wiring, your nervous system, and your natural magic.

• Introversion is about energy, not personality.
• Coaching is built for introverts. Deep listening, attunement, and presence are superpowers.
• Selling as an introvert is not persuasion. It is service, clarity, and grounded confidence.
• You do not need to perform like an extrovert. You need to honor your nervous system.
• There are wildly successful introverted coaches. You can build success without abandoning yourself.

If you identify as an introvert, Laura invites you to:

1. Honor how you recharge and communicate that to the people in your life
2. Build your business around your strengths instead of forcing extroverted strategies
3. Trust your presence because it is potent, powerful, and deeply transformative

Nurses do hard things every single day. So why does entrepreneurship feel harder?

In this solo episode, Shelby breaks down the truth about why nurse coaches freeze when it is time to build a business, even though they are some of the most capable, resilient humans on the planet. She walks through her own history of doing hard things, the uncomfortable lessons that shaped her capacity, and the real reason your confidence seems to evaporate the moment you sit down to work on your business.

This is not a pep-talk episode. It is a grounded, honest exploration of how to translate your existing resilience into the world of private practice and how to build the internal capacity required to grow a successful business.
