What happens when you stop waiting to feel ready, and just go all in anyway?

Colleen, a pediatric nurse turned nurse coach, shares her raw and honest journey from certification to building a thriving coaching practice. In this conversation with Shelby, she opens up about fear, visibility, investing in herself, and what it actually takes to go from “thinking about it” to signing paying clients while still working full-time.

This episode is a real behind-the-scenes look at what it means to step into leadership, trust the process, and build something meaningful even when it feels uncomfortable.

In this episode, we talk about:

Moving straight from certification into business and why momentum matters
The fear of being seen online and hitting “post” anyway
Why your first clients won’t come from posting, but from reaching out
What it really takes to sign your first paying clients
Learning to sit with fear instead of waiting for it to disappear
The power of repetition, feedback, and watching your own growth in real time
Building a coaching business while working full-time and managing real life
Shifting from getting clients to becoming an exceptional coach

Colleen’s story is a powerful reminder that confidence doesn’t come first. Action does. And when you’re willing to show up, feel the fear, and keep going anyway, everything starts to change.

If you’ve been sitting on the edge, waiting for the “right time,” this episode might just be the push you didn’t know you needed.
