In this week’s episode, Shelby is interviewed by the lovely Meghan Ruttan, sharing all about the inner workings of the successful nurse coaches, and learning some fun facts about Shelby’s personal life.

Shelby shares what she endures behind the scenes every day: the patterns, the breakthroughs, the wobbliness, the resistance, and the moments when everything finally clicks. Her perspective is both grounding and validating, especially for anyone who is in the messy, uncertain, or stretchy season of becoming a nurse coach.

In this episode, you will hear:

• The behind the scenes experience of supporting new nurse coaches
• Common fears and mindset obstacles students face in their first months
• Why discomfort is not a sign something is wrong
• How to move through overwhelm without shutting down
• The difference between consuming information and actually embodying the work
• Why being coachable matters far more than being confident
• What Shelby wishes every new nurse coach understood at the start
• How NLCA blends emotional support, skills practice, and business strategy
• The power of community and why it accelerates growth
• Real stories of breakthroughs, pivots, and unexpected wins inside the program

Success as a nurse coach is not about having it all figured out. It is about staying connected, staying coachable, and allowing yourself to grow into someone you have not yet met.
