“…you need space in order for energy to be exchanged and to hear what we're saying, and hear what the other person said. Historically, I've wanted to fill that space really. 

So, it's still practice for me as well. I still have to work on it. But just trying to lean into that. And, allow that space to exist so people get the benefit of hearing themselves talk too.” ~Lindsay Frey MA, BSN, RN, HWNC-BC, HNB-BC, CDCES

Ah Ha Moments

• There is so much power in listening to a person’s story, especially when we quiet our own agendas
• We’ve come leaps and bounds in talking about self-care in Nursing schools, and yet, we still have a ways to go in implementing self-care into daily Nursing life
• Listen deeply to yourself and your needs and desires- listening may take you across the country, or even closer to yourself
• There is vulnerability in silence.  Allowing space for whatever will come instead of trying to fill it
• Nurse Coaching can be used in all parts of Nursing practice, from Nurse to Nurse to partnering with patients using insulin pumps. There are no limitations to it.
