142. When You're in a Funk 29.01.2026

We all hit funks. Doubt creeps in. Confidence feels shaky. Motivation disappears. In this episode, I talk about what actually helps you grow confidence when you’re in that space, not by forcing yourself out of it, but by learning how to work with it. I share why resisting emotions keeps you stuck longer, how avoiding discomfort quietly shapes your actions, and what happens when you stop fighting w...

140. Growing Confidence Through Evaluations 15.01.2026

In this episode, we’re talking about why evaluations are the key to building real confidence—and why skipping them keeps you stuck repeating the same patterns. You can’t create a better future without honestly looking at what’s already happened. Evaluations close the loop. They help you stop spinning, think critically, and move forward with clarity instead of confusion. Whether you’re working towa...

139. Don't Marry The First Person You Date 08.01.2026

Getting into Flight is a lot like dating—you don’t marry the first person you meet. You go out, you learn what you want, what you don’t want, and what actually feels like the right fit. That’s exactly what ride-alongs are for. Ride-alongs let you and flight companies get to know each other in a relaxed environment—long before a formal interview. You don’t want your first interaction to be the inte...

138. Finding Joy In The Challenge 01.01.2026

This episode is about learning how to stop waiting for motivation and start creating desire—on purpose. Desire doesn’t just show up. You create it. Through intention. Through clarity. Through deciding what you want and moving toward it anyway. We talk about why everything starts with gratitude and pride in how far you’ve already come—and how beating yourself up, waiting to feel ready, or fearing w...

137. Leave Room For Magic 25.12.2025

This episode is about letting go of control, releasing the need to know how, and learning to trust yourself as you move toward what you want. So often we think the answer is doing more. But the real work is asking: What do I need to believe about myself? You can’t ask others to believe in you if you don’t believe in yourself first. That belief takes practice—especially if you’re used to being hard...

136. Zach's Journey To Flight 18.12.2025

Join me in this episode as I interview Zach, who just got hired as a Flight Nurse after being a nurse for five years, with three and a half of those in the ER.

Instead of doing more or spinning in overwhelm, he learned exactly whe...

135. Confidence in Uncertainty 11.12.2025

In this episode, we’re talking about how to create confidence when you’re stepping into something you’ve never done before—especially Flight, or creating a new identity. Most people look to their past for confidence, but true confidence comes from the future you’re pulled by. Big goals require you to think differently, act differently, and become someone new. Inside the episode, I walk you through...

134. Begin Your Flight Journey Now 04.12.2025

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the biggest truths about getting into Flight Nursing: Results begin when you begin. You don’t wait to feel ready. You don’t wait for motivation. You create momentum by starting—even when it feels early. And right after you decide? The obstacles always show up. This is where most people get stuck, confused, and stay in limbo. The biggest mistake I see? Beli...

In this episode, I share why last year was one of the hardest years of my life and give you tools on how to navigate the middle. Last year pushed me in ways I didn’t expect. I didn’t quit. I maintained. I did it sad, tired, and with uncomfortable emotions. And that’s the part most people skip: the middle. Inside this episode, I’m teaching you how to handle that messy middle with more clarity, stea...

In this episode, I’m sharing why I created The Shift, what it is, who it’s for, and exactly what’s included inside.

Getting to Flight isn’t always a straight line—sometimes the magic happens in the unexpected moments.
