What could be more liberating than enjoying a good meal without worrying about calories, carbs, or points? 

For many people, eating without restrictions is a dream come true. And that's exactly what Cristina Capucci promises. 

In this week’s episode of High-Performance Nursing, I had a fascinating conversation with Cristina Capucci, a Registered Dietitian with a Master of Health Science. She is an advocate for client-centered care, with her clients driving the decisions that work best for them. 

Cristina chats about how the traditional dietitian role is shifting and how she is working to support her clients in their overall health and wellbeing, not just their weight. We discuss how Cristina uses a non-diet approach with her clients, which is based on the Health at Every Size (HAES®) principles. 

We also dive into intuitive eating, a method that allows you to listen to your body and eat based on your hunger and fullness signals.

If you’re looking for a more holistic approach to nutrition, or if you’re curious about how to make peace with food, I think you’ll enjoy this conversation with Cristina Capucci.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

• Cristina's journey (1:39)
• Why Cristina became a dietician (4:56)
• What it’s like being a dietician (9:45)
• Challenges dieticians are facing in the hospital (14:29)
• What is an anti-diet dietician? (18:56)
• Being an intuitive eater (23:09)
• Nutritional tips from Cristina (31:05)

If you're feeling lost in your career, or like you're just not quite sure what you want to do next, don't worry - you're not alone. Many people feel this way at some point in their lives. The good news is that there are things you can do to get clarity on what you want and where your career is headed. 

In this episode, I am going to show you a 6-step framework to get career clarity and start moving forward again. You've probably had moments where you've asked yourself, "What am I doing with my life?" 

It can be hard to figure out what we want to do and even harder to know how to get there. But without a clear idea of what we want to do with our lives, it's difficult to make progress towards our goals.

One of the biggest reasons for this is that without career clarity, we can't set effective goals. We might have vague ideas about what we want, but without a specific target in mind, it's tough to know what steps we need to take to get there. 

Without career clarity, it's also difficult to stay motivated; after all, if we don't know what we're working towards, it's hard to see the point in our efforts.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

• Step 1: Get Curious About Yourself (3:17)
• Step 2: Learn to Observe Your Thoughts (7:01)
• Step 3: Conduct a Career Assessment (10:50)
• Step 4: Network (12:55)
• Step 5: Sample and Experiment (14:53)
• Step 6: Build a Professional Career Brand (17:31)

Nurses know that they have a passion for helping and taking care of others, but knowing this is never enough to get them through the difficult times. Even before the whole pandemic situation, one may see some nurses losing enthusiasm for their work.

In this episode of High Performance Nursing, I chat with the fabulous Nurul Norzahari. She is a Registered Nurse, Personal Trainer, and the Founder of FitNurseCo. Her 10 years of combined work experience has been moving and motivating health professionals for the benefit of their well-being

Nurul is here to talk about how nurses can gain their power back. To do this, she advises nurses to truly know themselves, assess their emotions, and write their goals. Nurul also showcased the importance for nurses to understand deeply their why. 

Nurses should know how to take back power over their lives and don’t let a stressful work or person control them. As a result, their mind and body reach homeostasis and their personal and professional lives become more aligned. They become motivated to do well in their careers, and they greatly appreciate who they are outside work. 

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

• What led Nurul to RN and PT work? (01:37)
• The challenges in the nursing practice (07:33)
• The significance of listening to body symptoms (14:19)

In this episode of High Performance Nursing, I speak with the amazing Beth Montano. She is a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Medical Oncology and the CEO & Founder of Autonomic. 

Beth has over 12 years of nursing experience and through Autonomic, she’s on a mission to help nurses to love their work. It’s no secret that working as a nursing professional or in most healthcare industries is extremely tiring and nurses experience burnout and constant stress.

For nurses to love their work, it’s essential to go back to basics and reflect on what they want from nursing. It starts with what Beth coined as RCA - require, change, and accept. Nurses should assess what they require from their work, the changes they want to happen, and the things they have to accept.

Some nurses also feel stuck because they’ve made their careers their entire identities. For Beth, being a nurse should only be a part of your identity and not the entirety of it. Beth also advises nurses to constantly seek both formal and informal support in times of stress. This not only helps their well-being but also has a positive influence on their work performance. 

In times of crisis like this global pandemic where the demand for healthcare is high, nurses might question if they really love their work. However, with the right support and mindset, nurses can create an intentional life where they stay true to their passion and commitment to taking care of others and themselves.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

• Beth's career to date (01:25)
• Her life-changing experiences in India (02:50)

In this solo episode, I had a quick talk on the 4 key areas nursing professionals need to explore during a job search. Typically, nurses would only use one platform when it comes to seeking opportunities and I would often get asked where is the best place to look for jobs.

What nursing professionals don’t realise is that there are lots of opportunities out there, they just have to create them. Nurses would usually use cold email outreach and look for jobs in ways they are familiar with - going to local health district’s websites, Indeed, Glass door, and sending applications online.

Other ways to send applications include using the connections you’ve made in previous work or even in undergraduate training, going after your dream nursing role, and partnering with healthcare recruiters.

When you tap into these non-typical ways to find a nursing opportunity, there’s a huge possibility that you’ll come across off-market jobs which are not available if you simply just do an online search. 

Broaden your job opportunity horizon by using out-of-the-box ways, and you might just end up getting the role you’ve always dreamt of. 

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

• Cold market outreach (01:12) 
• Warm market outreach (01:59)
• Ideal role outreach (03:33)
• Recruitment outreach (06:12)

In this episode, I had a fun and informative talk with Charlotte Reynolds, who has been a colleague back in the UK. She is an ICU nurse and a nurseprenuer at the same time with her very own aesthetics clinic.

Charlotte had years of experience as an ICU nurse until she gave birth and realized that she needed to do something different. And that’s where the aesthetics clinic started. 

At first, she was afraid of venturing into something she wasn’t really familiar with. She is afraid of what other people will think or if she can really make it until she learns to care less about others' opinions. 

In this episode, Charlotte also shares what it was like to be an ICU nurse when the COVID-19 pandemic started. According to her, the hardest part was seeing other people suffer and not having a definite plan to handle the situation. 

On the brighter side, she says they got the support they needed in such tough times. The hospital that she has been working at has helped her cope, especially on the emotional side, with everything going on around. 

To sum it up, Charlotte, like any other nurse in the world, wants to do something different at some time too. Working in the hospital can be draining, and that's when nurses start to look for options. And there’s nothing wrong with it, actually. After all, nurses are still humans who need an outlet to destress and find another path at the same time.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

• Charlotte’s nursing journey (01:45)
• What is outreach nursing services in the UK look like (04:05)
• How Charlotte discovered a new path (09:07)
• What it's like to be a nurse during COVID (12:02)
• Charlotte’s experience as an ICU nurse (17:05)
• How Charlotte established her aesthetic business (22:15)
• What it was like to take the first payment in Charlotte’s business (24:50)
• Charlotte’s advice to those who are planning to start an aesthetics company (28:12)
• Charlotte’s definition of high-performance nursing (31:00)
• Charlotte's advice to health workers who are planning to do something different (36:35)
• What keeps Charlotte going (40:00)

In this episode, I have a fascinating conversation with Athol Hann. He’s a Clinical Emergency Nurse, Founder of AtholTech, and fwards app and known for his Burnout No More courses.

Athol experienced first-hand what burnout feels like for healthcare professionals and started questioning if he can stay with his profession in the long run. 

Surprisingly, he wasn’t aware that he was experiencing burnout until he had hateful feelings towards work. He went from someone who loves the nursing profession to someone who hated it. 

 All the little stress in the workplace piled up, and he knew that something needs to be done otherwise he might end up harming himself or others.

He eventually developed a process that allowed him to better deal with burnout and this gave rise to the Burnout No More Courses. He encourages nurses to tune in with themselves, write journals and ask for colleagues’ help. 

Nurses share the same stress and problems in the workplace, it’s a powerful strategy to learn how others are coping with burnout. They have to realize that they’re not alone and doing so helps boost their morale and guides them out of the burnout pit. 

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

• Athol's journey into his nursing profession (01:41)
• Advantages of going against the traditional nursing route (05:38)
• How he built the fwards app (08:08)
• Realizations that led to fwards development (13:59)
• Athol's biggest lessons from his tech venture (16:25)
• How did non-clinical training help Athol's clinical practice (20:50)
• How Athol handled his burnout phase (24:37)
• The Burnout No More Course (30:25)
• Rapid-fire questions with Athol Hann (32:18)
