Episode Description from the Publisher

In this special episode of The Successful Nurse Coach Podcast, Alana Beittel sits down with Nancy Thompson, a nurse with over three decades of experience who found her way to nurse coaching after feeling the weight of working inside two of the most broken systems in the U.S. - healthcare and education. Nancy shares her journey from seeing NLCA pop up in her social media feed, to trusting her intuition and enrolling just two days before the cohort started, to launching her own coaching business before she even graduated. Along the way, she opens up about her breast cancer diagnosis, the pivotal moment with a radiation oncologist that changed her perspective, and how those experiences shaped her coaching philosophy: "I see you. I hear you. I've got you." Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/qhCDjoex7k0Mentioned in this episode:NCR + Cohort 8https://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/
