65: Feeding Compassion: Exploring Intuitive Eating in Nursing-Tiffany North, BSN, RN, INC, Certified Intuitive Eating Professional Highlights

 "Intuitive eating is really about letting go of shoulds around food, letting go of this food is good, this food is bad, and instead, looking at food from a body attunement lens. So how does this food feel for me in my body? How does eating in this way feel for me and my body? What are the underlying needs associated with various body signals?"  ~Tiffany North, BSN, RN, INC, Certified Intuitive Eating Professional

Ah-Ha Moments

• Nurses can do sooo many things with their careers!
• Nursing careers can help us shift into different directions as we learn more about ourselves, and sometimes we don’t know exactly where it will lead us and we still trust
• Learning to slow down can feel very uncomfortable
• Food and relationships with food can be a very common area of focus for every human being
• People’s relationship with food
• Intuitive eating is letting go of ‘shoulds’ around food, or, this food is good, or this food is bad.
• Nurses are layering in all types of education, experiences and creativity into our Nursing practice in safe and appropriate ways
• Our society is pressurized with ‘should’s about food, body image and relationships with food and our bodies
• Intuitive eating helps us look internally to see how past experiences affect us today and help us unravel and reconnect to ourselves and
• It can be very powerful to ask your body what you’re experiencing.  What sensations are you experiencing?  When we can listen and be curious with compassion and kindness, we can draw on our own wisdom
• Follow the whisper, honor that yes, and you are the person who is charge of your own satisfaction and honoring yourself

64: Regulating the Nervous System as Nurse Coaches- Ellie Monjoseph, RN, BSN, NC-BC Highlights

“Are you fighting something? Are you fleeing? Are you, what's called, collapse or shutdown, and just trying to figure out where we're at with our nervous system, so we can support ourselves?

It’s plugging in some of the missing pieces that an unresolved stress takes away from us. It kind of masks or clouds our vision of ‘where am I?’. Because when you think of when you're connected, when you're joy-filled, when you're present, you can make decisions very easily.” ~ Ellie Monjoseph BSN, RN, NC-BC

Ah-Ha Moments

• Nursing experience gives you a front row to witnessing humanity
• Listen to where you are being called… you can go in whatever direction you choose
• It’s important to continue to do your own inner work to support yourself, to understand yourself more deeply
• Fear, imposter syndrome, people pleasing, and the inner critic can sound really loud when we don’t address our unique, deep needs
• An inner critic is typically a voice that is not yours, from your past
• Connecting to your heart space, a purposeful pause, to connect with yourself.  What do you need right now?  What does your heart say right now?  This voice is a calm, kind voice that will help you move into the next space that you need right now.
• It’s a power move to ask for help!  It’s vulnerable to do, but it creates a cushion of a supportive community around us
• What is this urge to flee?  The sympathetic system, fight, flee, shutting down… wanting to change jobs, move, give up, etc.  Bringing awareness to self is imperative to understand and recognize how we’re responding so we can take a purposeful step that is truly best for you
• Healing begins when we realize we’re interconnected

63: Nurses Overcoming Addiction- Kacie Salas, BSN, RN, NC-BC Highlights

"My coping mechanism was, drinking and using.  I think symptoms of cumulative caretaking trauma are shame, guilt, anxiety, grief. Right? Once I started to learn that language, I realized that it had been something I've really suffered with my whole life.

Through Nurse Coaching and all the tools that I learned in my Nurse Coaching program, I was able to start to guide my private clients and my debriefing clients through that process where I think, again, just opening up the conversation, you know?

And making people feel like they're less alone. They really just want to feel seen, heard and validated. And not feel alone." ~Kacie Salas, BSN, RN, NC-BC

Ah-Ha Moments

• Addiction as a coping mechanism is often hidden within the Nursing world because of shame, and because we are held to such high standards in the public eye
• Sobriety exploration can create hope and healing in your life
• We’ve got to stay together and open up the conversations because we can heal with each other once we realize we are not alone
• Cumulative caretaking trauma is the trauma experienced after repeated exposure to traumatic events over short periods of time
• Say YES! When things come your way, even when you tell all the stories in your head that say you can’t do that thing! The Universe wants you to be successful and thrive
• Nurse Coaching brings back joy into your Nursing career
• Nurse Coaching integrates so many facets of Nursing and modernizes Nursing!

62: Group Coaching in Hospitals: Healing Together- John Piazza DeDonatis Highlights

Ah-Ha Moments

• There may be a time you feel an ‘itch’ to do something else.  What would happen if you decided to follow it?
• Do some research about Nurse Coaching, especially if you’re on the fence.  You deserve to look deeper into the things you are curious about
• Group Coaching allows for more touch and connection with more humans
• Try not to fall into the ‘advice trap’… instead listen, ask curious questions, allow the person to find their own answers… and ASK them if they want the information before you bombard them with advice or the resources
• As an Integrative Nurse Coach, what do you call yourself?  How do you explain what you do to really connect with the person you’re speaking with?
• It’s tough to set your price point… and you CAN do that. What are worth?  You’re priceless.
• Keep your heart open for all the possibilities around you!  Say Yes to experiences, opportunities to work with clients you may not think you want, as they can become your client!
• Check in with your Nurse Residency Programs as opportunities to implement Nurse Coaching skills and tools.
• Tell people about what you’re doing, they will support you!

61: Vulnerability is Courage- Christie L. Kaywood, RN, BSN, NC Highlights

"Over time, healing and different things like that helped me. And also, with the vulnerability, it's like, these are my goals. And how can I achieve them if I just stay in the same place? How can I achieve them if I don't step up and step out of my comfort zone?" ~Christie L. Kaywood, RN, BSN, NC

Ah-Ha Moments

• You don’t always have to have the answers
• Social anxiety can hold us back, reach out to a counsellor to get help, so you can be in full presence in the amazing person you are!

Caring for the Caregivers- Renee Panec, BSN, RN, HWNC-BC, CCM, CPHQ Highlights

"It brings up a lot of feelings, too, in caregivers in terms of not only overwhelm, but they may be sad about their current situation. They may experience feelings of... really of grief, of that loss of the life that they anticipated living. And now it's going to be a very different kind of life.

And it's often unacknowledged.  From whatever kind of life they've been living, whether they were professionals and had a professional job, or if they were a mom home with the kids, it's still huge." ~Renee Panec, BSN, RN, HWNC-BC, CCM, CPHQ

Ah-ha Moments

• What happens to the caregiver when a patient is discharged home, and they must do everything else they were doing AND care for their loved one?
• Are you pouring from an empty cup? What can you do to love and support yourself? What can you do for you?
• It’s ok to ‘bloom where you’re planted’ and use your skills exactly where you are, without feeling you need to change anything.
• Not sure where to begin, or who you want to work with?  Begin where you are. You have experience with something that others may not have.
• What stories have you been telling yourself that hold you back?  How could those stories be shifted to support you and what you want today?
• How can you nurture yourself to grow into who you want to be?
• Embrace your power Nurse… you have healing abilities filled with love, give it to yourself and then share it with others.

59: Passionately Growing as a Nurse Coach- Aaron Williams, BSN, RN, HWNC-BC Highlights

Ah-Ha Moments

"It's your creation. And you can take it any direction you want. I'm taking it to the gardening, the nature side, the reconnecting with spirit, reconnecting people like me, who get in their head and think too much and don't, you know, don't get in their heart or their body and listen and pay attention to what's going on and what you really need." ~Aaron Williams, BSN, RN, HWNC-BC

• How does the phrase ‘not knowing’ sit in your heart?  What could happen when you allow having to know it all, to separate from your all-knowing personality?
• There are many ways to share your gifts in Nursing and in your community
• Find the things that fill your soul, and allow you to heal
• Hands in the soil… grounding, earthing, growing, forest bathing, connecting spirit to nature
• Take a course in gardening, volunteer at a community garden and/or co-op to learn more about growing your own food, and how getting hands in soil and nurturing can help you heal
• Healing Touch and energy work can open possibility, we are all energy
• Resistance is real, it can slow you down, lean in, be courageous
• Roots vs. wings… at different times in your life you'll be grounded and other times you’ll need to fly

Trusting Your Intuition as a Nurse Coach- Love Hawkins, MSN, APRN, WHNP-BC, CNM, NC-BC Highlights

"It's such a powerful thing when you get more attuned to your own intuition. And you start to learn how to trust yourself and what is good for you. Not what's good for anybody else and having everybody else tell you what's good for you. You know from the core of your being what's good for you." ~Love Hawkins, MSN, APRN, WHNP-BC, CNM, NC-BC

• There are many ways to use your gifts on this Earth, follow your intuition, and do your part
• Cannabis is part of life, and is being utilized by many people in the world.  It's in the Nurses best interest and professional responsibility to educate themselves about cannabis and how it relates to pharmacology and overall health and disease

How to Take Nurse Coaching Anywhere!- Deborah McElligott, DNP, ANP-BC, AHN-BC, HWNC-BC, CDE Highlights

"Coaching adds the component of not knowing.  It was so powerful for me because as an NP, you had to be the expert. You know, as a Nurse, you have to be an expert. You can't give the wrong medication, you'll kill somebody.

You have to be perfect. And this not knowing part of coaching, where you can hold the space for your client, your patient, your peer, and help them discover their best way of becoming who they need to be, was really powerful. You know, knowing that you can be an expert, but you can also be a not knowing person at the same time." ~Deborah McElligott, DNP, ANP-BC, AHN-BC, HWNC-BC, CDE

Ah-Ha Moments

• Nurse Coaching eliminates labels, and teaches us to hold space, and to ‘not know'’
• You can be an expert and not know at the same time
• The skills of Nurse Coaching become part of how you practice as a Nurse, and you will use these skills every day
• If you are looking for a place to practice Coaching and holistic Nursing look at your system, what are they doing, what are their needs, and how can you help them?
• You can simplify some holistic modalities to teach them to your system, or in the community
• You can teach many things through the ‘coaching approach’, as opposed to the ‘telling approach’
• You don’t have to wait for a position to open up, instead, create it for yourself!
• Imagery practices can open up so many healing opportunities for yourself
• Journal questions… what surprised you today?  What inspired you?  What touched your heart?
