Listen Later

We dig DEEP on this episode with Anne Calhoun. Join in with this episode as we discuss how Anne started her career as a nurse, from failing organic chemistry four times, her adventures as a paramedic to her beginnings as a nurse in a neonatal ICU. We discuss so many important things such as: 

  • Being able to find your strengths within ICU nursing
  • Why each of us packs an emotional backpack and why that is not the best method of releasing stress
  • Why the simple things for patient care matter
  • Why practicing self-forgiveness matters
  • Getting to know the human in each person
  • Three special methods of helping to reduce stress including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
  • Why practicing with an open heart is such an important piece as a nurse 

    • About Anne: Anne graduated from nursing school in 2002 as a 2nd degree student because her organic chemistry grades weren't good enough to get into Med school (seriously). She moved to nursing after 5 years as a paramedic, and took a job in the Neonatal ICU. She spent 12 years at the bedside, and 3 years as a Nurse Educator in that unit until she left the hospital to work as a holistic educator full time from home.

    Anne is passionate about caring for people with a wide open heart. She loves helping people to trust their intuition and learn about the root causes of their symptoms.

    Anne lives in Michigan with her husband and 3 kids.
