Ready to build freedom, but still stuck on your niche?

This is the episode that unblocks everything.

In Step 3 of the Bedside to Business roadmap, Liam dives into the real reason so many nurses overthink their niche — and how to finally claim your six-figure idea without spinning out or signing up for another certification.

“You already assess, diagnose, and treat. Now it’s time to prescribe a profitable offer.”

You’ll learn how to co-create an irresistible niche and offer with your audience, avoid the “helper trap” that leads to vague, broke businesses, and stop trading time for money.

Plus, Liam breaks down five powerfulbusiness models — from coaching to consulting to digital products — with real NursePreneur examples for each.

Whether you’re multi-passionate, multi-skilled, or feel like “someone’s already doing it,” this episode proves that your lived experience is your niche.

How to design a Business That Fits Your Life — Not the Algorithm

In this second step of the Bedside to Business roadmap, Liam shows you how to ditch the copy-paste strategies and create your own nursepreneur business care plan rooted in scalable simplicity and aligned goals.

If your offer, model, or schedule isn’t designed around your life, it’s a fast-track to resentment and burnout — not freedom.

“We’re moving from patient-centered care to you-centered business.”

If you’re burnt out but secretly dreaming of building a business... this is your first step.

In this powerful kickoff to the Bedside to Business mini-series, Liam takes you deep into the mindset shift required to transition from bedside burnout to nursepreneur brilliance.

Spoiler: it's not your business model or being unsure about your niche that's holding you back — it's your monkey mind.

You'll meet the two parts of your brain: the amygdala (aka your survival-driven Monkey Mind) and your prefrontal cortex (your visionary CEO brain). If you're stuck in stress and self-doubt, trying to “figure out your niche,” this episode explains why you can’t think your way to clarity — you have to feel safe first.

“Your brain will sabotage your dreams in the name of safety. Don’t let it.”

This is a must-listen for any nurse who feels overwhelmed, second-guesses their every move, or wonders if they have what it takes to start a business.

✔️[2:05] Prefrontal Cortex = Your Nurse CEO Brain

The part of your brain that makes business success possible

✔️[3:38] The Skill of Neuroplasticity

How to rewire your beliefs and build a new identity

✔️[4:15] Common Mistakes Nurses Make

Why you're overinvesting in branding and underinvesting in mindset

Want to know the real reason so many burnt-out nurses can’t seem to break free from bedside—even when they deeply want to?

And no, it’s not a lack of motivation, strategy, or skills.

From the unseen trauma of healthcare work to the survival-mode wiring that keeps nurses looping in overthinking and “maybe next year” energy, Liam breaks down how trying to heal and build alone is the exact thing sabotaging your freedom.

You’ll learn why co-regulation (not another course or mindset hack) is the missing piece, how trauma-informed support activates your capacity to create, and why NursePreneurs don’t build empires solo.

“You can’t regulate your way into a new identity by yourself. You need co-regulated safety to finally feel safe in success.”

If you’re a purpose-driven nurse craving more income, more impact, and a way out of survival mode— you can’t skip this episode.

✔️[2:04] The Truth — It’s Not a Strategy Problem, It’s a Nervous System Problem

✔️[3:53] Healthcare Trauma — Why Nurses Struggle to Break Free

✔️[8:05] The Mistake — Trying to Heal and Build Alone

What happens when a nurse with 40 years of leadership experience decides to go all in on herself?

In this emotionally charged episode, Liam sits down with Eva Storey — a nurse leader turned leadership coach — who made nursing optional after being made redundant from a senior role. Instead of going back, Eva backed herself.

She shares her journey from burnout and redeployment to building a global coaching business supporting nurse managers and healthcare leaders.

This is a masterclass in messy action, intuitive business building, and making bold moves later in life.

If you’ve ever thought “it’s too late” or “I’m not tech-savvy enough,” Eva is living proof that’s a lie.

From working with ChatGPT as her business coach to showing up on TikTok with zero experience, Eva shows us what’s possible when you drop the perfectionism and trust your inner wisdom.

"You have a choice. You don’t have to stay stuck." — Eva Storey

The moment you swap student badges for RN status feels like stepping off a cliff—excited

but terrified, underprepared, second‐guessing everything. In this episode, Deane Geddes

peels back the curtain on what most grad nurses don’t talk about: the fear, the mistakes, the

toxic “angel” culture, and the total lack of structure or support in that first 90 days.

Diane, founder of the Graduate Nurse Academy, shares her own transition story—her

glowing hopes, her anxiety‐fuelled mistakes, and her burnout. She reveals her THRIVE

framework: a six‐month, holistic roadmap for new nurses to build confidence, resilience, and

wellness from day one. We dig into what holistic self‐care actually means, how to rewrite

your inner narrative when confidence is shaky, and why so many grads drop out or feel

crushed early on.

If you’re a grad nurse (or soon will be), this episode is your lifeline. You’ll learn how to

survive and thrive your first year without letting hospital politics, mistakes, or shame steal

your joy. Listen in for tools, mindset shifts, and permission to be human.

Keywords: grad nurse burn out, confidence building, new nurse transition, self‐care for nurses.

What if your rock-bottom moment became the launchpad for a nurse-led business?

In this episode, I chat with Amy Mageropoulos — RN, ice bath queen, and founder of Breathe IV in Sydney — about how she turned chronic pain, birth trauma, and burnout into a wellness business helping people breathe, recharge, and heal on their terms.

We go deep on IV hydration, cold water therapy, and breathwork — and the real talk behind launching a health studio as a nurse. Amy shares the harsh lessons, cashflow dramas, APHRA fears, and mindset breakthroughs that helped her go from “acting NUM” to “nurse entrepreneur.”

Whether you’re exploring IV hydration or just done with the shift-work grind, Amy’s story proves there’s a path to income, impact, and nurse freedom.

If you’ve ever said, “I just want to help people — but not like this,” this episode is your sign.

Burnout isn’t just a buzzword — for many nurses, it’s the quiet breakdown no one sees.

In this powerful episode, Liam chats with Annabel Wood, a nurse with over 25 years in

healthcare who hit a wall after building a multiple six-figure business while juggling

motherhood and 90-hour workweeks.

Her burnout landed her in hospital. Twice.

And forced her to ask the hardest question of all: What am I doing this for?

Now the founder of The Wellness Shift Coach, Annabel is helping other primary healthcare

nurses reclaim their energy, purpose, and power — without quitting nursing (unless they want

to).

“If your values and your work don’t align — burnout is inevitable.”

This is a deeply personal, belief-shifting convo about stress, resilience, and rising again after it

all falls apart. Whether you’re feeling exhausted, stuck, or secretly dreaming of a nurse-led business of your own — Annabel’s journey will light a fire in you.
