The Nurse Practitioner’s Lifeline

Getting started starts with getting unstuck. Reflecting back on my days of launching my own Nurse-Owned Business, these are the things I and others have done. Most steps I did not even realize were of significance until I had hindsight looking back. BTW: Find me on Instagram @Dr. Lauren. DNP & join our Free FaceBook Group!

I see a very common theme for Nurses and Practitioners, where they are asked to constantly do more in the same amount of time… often with the same amount of pay. Then when they decide they want to make their own way, they try to 10x their efforts and burn out even more. That is, however, not a formula for success. Today’s episode is inspired by Dr. Benjamin Hardy, in his book of “10x is Easier Tha...

In today's episode, we talk about the correlation between what scripture first tells us about the development of disease in Genesis and what we see from a molecular level in low serotonin specifically. This can be applied to several diseases such as Autoimmune, but from a biochemical perspective we use depression as an example and after you listen, you will see why. Plus, I am offering our Fun...

The worst thing you can do is assume that you will not be the family affected by the economic events coming up. I want you to become even freer in your options in life, not the opposite. Some people will go through these times and flourish (think of the countless successful businesses birthed in 2008). Some will falter. Those who falter often have it happen as a result of all their eggs being in o...

Why is anxiety on the rise while prescriptions are more available than ever?  Why is the mind and body still thought of as separate entities?  How does the microbiome contribute to mental health?  How does nutrition affect my mental health?  Today's Podcast (which qualifies for a CME that you can snag her e) is going to answer that and SOO much more!  Crave more ?

Yes, you love nursing and medicine. But, your nursing resilience is wearing thinner by the shift. AND Your passion for doing your own thing, such as starting functional medicine, becoming a nurse coach, holistic mental health coach, or any holistic career is ever-growing...  It's just that you fear the unknown and are completely unsure how to get started, I get it. I was once there. There is...

Are you in a place in life where you feel so exhausted trying to live a life of keeping up, that you've numbed yourself to your own dreams or needs? Have you pushed down your own feelings, dreams, and desires for so long that you started to tell yourself, that they really don't matter? Have you suppressed who you really are so many times, in an effort to not offend or make others feel uncomfortabl...

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner... but not for much longer. I've been talking about nurse practitioner burnout for a while. I have light at the end of this tunnel and it's so bright I am almost physically blinded. But, that is often what can happen, we are so close to that breakthrough, that it's hard to see clearly.   Have you ever heard about the "hard before the breakthrough" and tha...

My nursing coach told me to go for it and I trusted her advice...  She knew I was financially set to leave my full-time job.  She knew that I had the strategies to make it happen.  She knew that I had a deep passion for Functional/Holistic Medicine and knew that my nurse coach programs were where my passion lies.   But, what she didn't know, was that I would wake up the next mo...

It is no secret that health care professionals are leaving organized medicine in drones.  Now, for at least a while, I am one of them.

I am also sharing how you too can start your exit plan if that is w...

Ever wonder why some people are off fulfilling their Christ-Lead calling (i.e. business idea) and you are still sitting on the sidelines with a great idea?  As is everything else in life, it starts with what we tell ourselves is possible. Others are running off with your dream because they decided they could. It is as simple as that.  How did they achieve that level of self-belief? It ma...

I often get asked what are the biggest differences in entrepreneurs who make it and those who don’t. I get it, everyone wants to know that, if they go for it and try to start something new, wether or not they will be successful. And obviously the truth is that we never actually know and we definitely try to play things smart and only start a business after doing our research so we can be as close...

How do you know for sure that you should be a Nurse Entrepreneur?    Let's be real, there are some really great perks, but that doesn't mean it is for everyone.

Are you a Kingdom Entrepreneur (or want to be one), specifically a Christian Nursepreneur business owner, who sometimes feels concerned for knowing if this is how God is leading you?    Does the fear of starting your business stop you or the fear of moving forward keep you from following through with your plans?    Typically I am directing my discussion toward Nurse Preneurs. B...

The real reason why you wanted to become a nurse or practitioner, is not probably what you think it is. Unfortunately, most of us were actually trying to fulfill a deep personal meaning in our life that our degrees and careers could never do for us. And it's not probably what you think it is.  We go through years of unimaginable stress, balancing working while in school, often with a family t...

These are a few of the mindset shifts I had to make in order to that the leap of faith on myself and on the Lord to lead me.  Now, one cavea...

This is my special sauce right here. Nurse entrepreneurs is a growing field. But, teaching motivated, hard-working nurses & practitioners how to do it right and scale fast: THAT is what I love to do.
