Too Human with Nurse Nell

This episode is all about the parts that make up who we are. I came up with this emotional processing process and really don't have fully bad days anymore because of it. To get out, we must go through.

This episode is all about leaning into your darkness in order to feel lighter. Giving yourself permissions to enjoy the fantasies/narratives you create in your head as anxiety creeps in is the name of the mf game. You have two basic nervous system states: contracted or open/relaxed; sympathetic and parasympathetic In this episode, I talk through how to open up WHILE contracted in order to ease the...

Existential kink (EK) was created by Dr. Carolyn Elliot. It refers to the idea of finding pleasure in pain and suffering, and using those experiences as fuel for growth and transformation. Yes in a masochistic way. Moving on. The basic premise is as follows: we all have unconscious patterns and beliefs that keep us stuck in cycles of pain and suffering. These patterns are often deeply rooted in ch...

Maria Tolstykh is an intimacy and embodiment coach for women. From trauma, numbness, and disconnection, she has created a life full of aliveness, radical self-connection, and pleasure. Maria is an incredibly powerful force of nature, as you will witness when you listen to this episode. I’m so lucky to call her a friend and coaching colleague. Witness her, love her, hire her, and experience your ow...

Ya know why your affirmations aren’t working? Because your unconscious mind has different wants than your conscious one does. Let’s talk about how to hack the system and merge your unconscious mind with your conscious mind to actually get what you want.

“The greatest damage done by neglect, trauma or emotional loss is not  the immediate pain they inflict but the long-term distortions they  induce in the way a developing child will continue to interpret the  world and her situation in it. All too often these ill-conditioned implicit beliefs become self-fulfilling prophecies in our lives. We  create meanings from our unconscious...

A Heart Based Breathing Practice. So often, we think we need to completely overhaul our lives to get relief. Sometimes - we do. But usually, it's a matter of repeating tiny consistent actions that bring us out of overwhelm daily.  . . Work with me! I'm a trauma informed life coach for women. I have *ONE* offer currently: 3-months of coaching (12 sessions and voice message support in between)....

This may be the most important episode you hear all day/week/month/year/life. This is the thing that changed my life in the most profound ways: processing emotion. Un-shaming emotions. Embracing our sensitive natures.  We all die a million deaths within our life before our actual physical death. We have to let go of so much through life.  How painful letting go can be. How intense it can...

"CONCEAL DON'T FEEL DON'T LET THEM KNOOOOOOOOOW" - Elsa from Frozen As a life coach, healing entrepreneur....or none of those things and just a human in the world....taking messy action is, at least in my life, super super super important. Humans are not perfect, and you do not have to show up as the perfect, polished version of yourself in order to be loved and successful (although our brains try...

There is more to manifestation than thinking about what you want and then getting it...or staring at a vision board for 5 minutes everyday for a month and getting the things on the board. This video is entitled “can I hold this reality?” In other words: Is my nervous system on board with this reality or am I going to reject it subconsciously? Let's explore manifestation together.  IG: @nurse_...

I’m THRILLED to bring this magical conversation into the world. It was medicine for my soul so I know it will be so healing for others too.  I'm so grateful for Lopa – she is such a powerful force and a vibrant spirit in the healing community. She is the true embodiment of a healer and leader. She walks her talk on the deepest planes and empowers other women to do the same. Lopa describes her...

Why do I even go live/make videos/record podcasts/put myself out there in these ways??...and how can you if this seems like your jam but you'd rather die? Hiding is safe. Showing up and being yourself is scary af. This is how I navigate it all.  Website: www.lifenursenell.com  IG: nurse_nell 

You are not broken and nothing is wrong with you. Recognizing, understanding, and embodying your inherent value has massive repercussions in a society that is built on convincing you that you are not enough. When you are made to feel inadequate, you are more likely to overspend $ - and not only does most of that sh*t not make a difference, but it ends up in a landfill. When we perceive something i...

Imposter syndrome is something I see many of my high-functioning, capable, smart female clients suffering from. The definition of imposter syndrome is: "the persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one's own efforts or skills." A strong brain can breed strong negative results...and it can also be used to change said results. In...

Good habits are good. Here's my take on building habits. 

This conversation was originally a Masterclass I taught. It's about the doorways in our minds and physical realities and how these doorways lead us to freedom. An example is: when we have a problem in our lives and our first response is "I don't know what to do," we immediately close all doors that could have been available to us in our minds, and in turn we shut down any creative problem-solving...

Intuition is a huge buzzword in the wellness community. For someone with a highly sensitive nervous system, intuition can feel strong, but this could actually be a strong trauma response. For people with a history of trauma, the moving away from uncomfortable situations could actually perpetuate trauma in certain situations, as violence can feel more comfortable than peace. For example, oftentimes...

The coaching model is an incredible tool that I have used countless times with myself and my clients.

As someone who has a history of severe panic attacks and generalized anxiety, this practice is the most crucial practice in my life to settle nerves, release anxiety, manage stress, and live well. With anxiety, my experience has been: the only way out is through. I hope you get so much out of this conversation. 

Really, the title says it all. We compare bosses/managers/higher ups to God and parents/caregivers. We talk about the externalization of our self-worth and how we all want a map of life and to never fail...plus the absolute importance and necessity of failing in order to learn how to have your best life. 

In this episode, we feel into a practice I use daily when it comes to cultivating resilience. 

Pain wants a witness. It wants to be seen given space and understood. In this episode I talk about physically and metaphorically screaming into the void, feeling alone/like no one cares, and social media as a trigger. I talk briefly about sexual assault--I do not go into details but talk about my experience speaking to authorities and how I felt unseen and unheard and the ramifications of this. Th...

I didn't introduce myself last episode, so here it is! Who *I* am...and who we describe ourselves to be based on common identifiers. I also talk about why coaching is so important to me. Also, don't know how to start or end episodes...enjoy <3 

Welcome to the FIRST EPISODE of Too Human (with Nurse Nell)!!! This episode sets the stage for the intention of this podcast: opening the doors to all the human things -- mostly mental health matters, perception, birth/death (and that awkward moment in between), inner experiences, versions of spirituality...ya know. Also space and space aliens. The usual. In this episode I talk about my own inner...
