In this week’s episode, Shelby gets real about the state of the coaching industry—the good, the bad, and the downright feral.

The coaching world has often been compared to the Wild West: full of opportunities, but also riddled with landmines. From overhyped promises and overpriced systems to heartbreaking stories of coaches being scammed out of thousands, Shelby pulls back the curtain on what’s really going on.

But this isn’t just a vent session—there’s a clear path forward. Shelby explains why nurse coaches are uniquely positioned to bring ethics, credibility, and standardization to coaching in a way that protects clients and restores trust.

If you’ve ever felt skeptical about coaching because of past experiences—or if you’ve witnessed the darker side of the industry—this episode will not only validate those feelings but also inspire hope. By leaning into our nursing values of care, ethics, and professionalism, nurse coaches have the power to raise the bar and transform coaching into a trusted, credible profession.

You’ll hear:

• Why the coaching industry exploded after 2020—and what went wrong.
• The red flags to watch for so you don’t get burned as a coach or client.
• How nurses’ training in ethics, scope of practice, and holistic care creates a natural edge in coaching.
• Shelby’s vision for a future where coaching is mainstream, trusted, and integrated into healthcare systems.
• Practical steps for raising the bar in your own private practice.

This is a must-listen if you’re ready to step into the role of not just coach, but also pioneer, builder, and standard-setter in a rapidly evolving industry.
