You Don’t Have to Start a Business to Make an Impact: Real Ways for Nurses to Create Change Without the Burnout Feeling like you need to start a business to make a real difference? Today, we’re breaking down why owning a business isn’t the only (or best) way to create impact as a nurse. If you’re feeling the pull to coach, mentor, or support other nurses, but the backend work of running a business feels draining, you’re not alone.   In this episode, we’ll dive into: The pressure nurses feel to “go independent” and start businesses. How the sunk cost fallacy can keep you stuck on the path to burnout. Real-life alternatives for nurses to make an impact without the need for a full-blown business. The story of one client who let go of the business hustle and reconnected with her true mission.   By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools to rethink what impact means to you and the freedom to make a difference in ways that align with your strengths and values.   Key Takeaways: Reframe the Impact Equation: You don’t need a business to coach, guide, or uplift other nurses, moms, patients, clients, community members, etc. Sometimes, the most powerful ways to influence are already within reach. Break Free from “Should”: Just because you’re certified or have spent money learning a new skill doesn’t mean you have to start a business. Recognize when you’re feeling trapped by “shoulds” rather than motivated by genuine passion. Discover Alternative Paths: Whether it’s mentoring through clinical instruction, preceptorship, community education, leadership, or informal guidance, there are countless ways to make an impact while avoiding burnout. Client Case Study: Learn from one nurse practitioner’s journey to find joy and purpose by shifting her focus from business building to direct mentorship with future NPs.   Ready to Create Your Own Impact? If you’re a nurse who’s ready to step into a new chapter of your career and make a meaningful impact without burning out, my mastermind might be the place for you.

This is an absolute brain dump on everything I learned on Day One of the Symposium!   Follow along with some of the trends, definitions and concepts below! (this is also in the show notes 😉)   Mindful Engagement as a baseline way of being: How to approach each interaction with mindfulness and intention. Set clear intentions, speak authentically, and let go of worrying about the outcomes. It's about being present and genuine in every moment. Just keep going, pls: Success often comes from keeping at it, even when things get tough. Let's embrace our resilience and keep pushing forward, knowing that every setback is just another step toward growth and achievement. Changing Perspective 👀: Instead of focusing on changing external circumstances, let's focus on changing how we see things. Embrace the journey of personal growth and self-discovery, seeing the world through fresh eyes and gaining new insights along the way. Well-Becoming as the journey to Well being: Sounds weird, is so real. The idea of "well-becoming," recognizing that wellness is a journey, not a destination. It's about progress, not perfection, and every step forward counts. Cultural Humility: Instead of just aiming for cultural competence, let's strive for cultural humility. It's about truly understanding and empathizing with different cultures and perspectives, and always being open to learning more. Compassion Energy 🍯: Rather than just trying to avoid compassion fatigue, let's focus on cultivating compassion energy. By nurturing compassion within ourselves, we can share it with others and make a real difference. Self-Care vs. Caring for Self: It's important to differentiate between surface-level, tasky, self-care activities and the deeper process of caring for ourselves. Let's foster a compassionate relationship with ourselves and prioritize our well-being in a meaningful way. The one question that blew my mind: What if you left your work shift healthier and more well than when you arrived??? Immediate Trauma Healing: Addressing traumas or stressors promptly is key for effective healing within the healthcare system. Debriefing right after these events occur can minimize their impact and promote healing. I loved sharing these insights and I hope you'll tune in to the podcast episode to learn more about each topic and how they can positively impact our lives and work.   Don't forget to leave a review, share it with your work besties, and spread the word on social media!
