Episode Description from the Publisher

So you’re thinking about starting a holistic nursing business? Amazing. But before you launch that website or invest in a program, there are a few things you need to hear—things most people don’t tell you when you’re just starting out. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to become a nurse entrepreneur in the holistic space. We’ll talk about the emotional rollercoaster, the real cost (in time or money), and the surprising skills you’ll have to learn along the way. You’ll hear hard-earned truths like: Why “if you build it, they will come” is a myth (and what to do instead) Why passion isn’t enough—and what you’ll need to learn to succeed Why crying (sometimes out of nowhere) is part of the process And why there's plenty of room for you in this space—even if someone else in town is doing something similar Whether you’re in the dreaming phase or already building your practice, this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and seriously prepared. It’s not supposed to be easy—but it is worth it. Let’s talk about it.
