What I valued most about working with my nurse coach was having a truly nonjudgmental space to talk through both the positives and challenges in my life. It made a meaningful difference knowing I could speak openly without fear of judgment or outside influence. My coach listened without bias, asked thoughtful, open-ended questions, and didn’t have a personal stake in my decisions. Instead, she offered perspectives that encouraged deeper reflection. That combination allowed me to feel fully supported while remaining confident and in control of my own thoughts and choices. My biggest win from working with my life coach was learning how to receive and offer support to myself while also creating space for honest reflection. Through our work together, I became more intentional about how I show up both for myself and for others—balancing encouragement with curiosity. Instead of rushing to fix things, I learned to pause, ask better questions, and think more insightfully about my choices. That shift has helped me grow with greater self-awareness, confidence, and clarity in how I move forward and address specific situations. My biggest insight from my sessions was that clarity comes from slowing down, using light meditation and reflection, not from rushing to fix things or have immediate solutions. Through that process, I also learned to trust myself, intuition, and decisions more. I began realizing I’m capable of making aligned decisions without relying on outside validation with support from the coaching process. Working with Erin as a nurse life coach provided me with an environment for supportive, nonjudgmental space to grow internally while feeling supported. I consistently felt heard and respected, without pressure, which allowed me to approach my decisions, goals and asirations with greater confidence. One of my most valuable takeaways was learning to slow down and engage in thoughtful reflection rather than rushing to immediate solutions. This shift helped me become more intentional overall, ask more meaningful questions, and gain greater clarity in my decision-making. I also developed a stronger sense of self-trust, recognizing my ability to make aligned choices without relying on external validation. I would highly recommend this process to anyone seeking a structured, supportive environment for personal growth, clarity, and confidence. 

I loved working with Erin because every session was different. I started these sessions off not knowing what I was getting myself into, but after the first session was completed, I knew this was going to impact my life in the very best way. I have never had conversations with someone who truly understands every aspect, until I met Erin! My biggest wins have been the opportunity to really dissect why I'm feeling the way I am or how I choose to react to different situations I might face. Erin has taken the time to help me figure out why certain things go the way they do, including how or why people in my life act the way they do. This has been extremely helpful in my day-to-day life. My biggest insights that happened as a result of our coaching sessions was understanding why things go the way they do in my life, Erin has really helped me understand how and why things work out. I would recommend Life Coaching because of the support aspect as well as the life skills I have been learning along the way.

I loved how Erin’s meditations allowed me to reset my feelings and thoughts before each session. I’m becoming a big meditation girlie, and she was on point every time. I really appreciated having that space to slow down and calm my nervous system. Erin helped me notice the small ‘pokes’ to my nervous system and showed me that removing them was easier than I thought—for example, by turning off notifications for certain apps. I wanted to stay in the loop, but those notifications were actually overstimulating me and no longer served me, especially while I was dealing with some major life challenges. It might sound minor, but that change was huge for me and continues to support my nervous system and energy even now.  My biggest insight that happened as a result of our coaching sessions was realizing that life will be ‘life,’ and sometimes you just need someone to let you get it all out. During our first session—which I almost didn’t want to do because of how I was feeling—I had recently received unexpected, and at the time almost devastating, news about my health. I felt like I came at Erin like a fire hose, telling her everything I was going through. She reminded me that the session could be as long or as short as I needed. She listened so well that, by the end, I felt lighter, like some of the weight of stress had truly been lifted. It reminded me that showing up perfect is a myth; true authenticity for me is showing up even when it’s messy.  I am a firm believer in this work. As nurses, we are taught to show up for our patients, their families, and to be the ‘middle person’ for all the ancillary services involved in their care. Although, who shows up for the nurse when they receive bad news about their own health, are grieving a parent or child, caring for a loved one, or are a single parent working extra to support a household, going through a divorce etc.—while still putting that aside to care for others three days a week on twelve-hour shifts, drinking coffee or energy drinks just to ‘make it’ day after day? It takes a toll. Coaching is one of the best ways a nurse can invest in their own care and one of the most meaningful ways a healthcare system can truly take care of its nurses.
