    • Creating a business structure that supports your life

About our Guests

Kathy’s firsthand knowledge about pelvic health comes from her personal experience, in seeking a solution to her own health challenges, she met up with Melissa.

Melissa is a pelvic floor physical therapist with 8 years of experience and the owner of Wellest Integrative Health. On her journey to motherhood (she is a new mom!), Melissa saw first hand the disconnect between pelvic health and OBGYN care.

They combined forces to utilize a holistic approach to pelvic health in their collaboration and mentoring of clinicians/ PTs and NPs. This duo is now ready to revolutionize the field of pelvic health TOGETHER!

Life Resource: Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing

Current events involving the killing of unarmed humans, Black Men specifically, have sparked a series of conversations.

The killing of humans is a Public Health matter and I am a nurse.

Beyond being a nurse, watching horror stories that feature people who look like loved ones have taken a toll on me as a human.

My thoughts on this are reflected in the below post, please take a look at choose to follow the law of love.

Because of my perspective, I do not have the energy at the moment to do much more beyond what I have said on this topic so far, as the emotional labor behind the effort of education is a bit much right now.





 

Let’s keep the conversation going!

On a side note, one of the many reasons I am super passionate about entrepreneurship is because I am a registered nurse.

As an RN care coordinator, I have seen the value that flexible work schedules provide families with kids who have special needs.


During this interview I shared:

“As a nurse, it is my job, on a minute by minute basis, to look at worst-case scenarios, see the opportunities for improvement, implement a plan to move forward, and make adjustments along the way, all with the goal of helping a human realize their highest level of functioning and fullest potential.”- Amelia Roberts BSN RN CPN

Life Resource: Slaying Student Loans with Tiff

Episode: “The Business of Slaying Student Loans with Tiff ”

Welcome to another episode of Nurse Marketing: The Business of Nursing!

While this interview was done Pre COVID, I know that many are thinking about how to retain control of their finances.

The truth is we ALL are dealing with navigating the new normal, and the more financial “surprises” we can minimize the better.

With all that is going on, now is the great time to get reflective on your financial health, take a listen to the interview below:

About our Guest

Tiffany Grant runs money talk with Tiff, she’s a money coach, but she provides financial education. She likes to work with clients that are struggling and try to get them on a budget, try to get their finances in order so that way they can start on their journey to build wealth.

Topics Covered:

0:58 – Tiffany introduces herself who likes to work with clients that are struggling and helps them get to the point where they're able to build wealth and invest and save and buy houses and whatever their goals are to them. She also introduces her business and what it does for its ideal customers.

1:01 – Sharing her down points how she got started doing what she does.

4:09 – Explains how she helps her customers win and have the results they wanted.

8:15 - Shares practical things to do for nurses in their 30’s to even start to think about in terms of paying off their student loans.


Main Takeaways and Quotes

With too much student loan debt, I decided, look, I'm going to help people figure out how to navigate these student loans because that majority of my clients have student loans, of course, so I wanted to help people navigate their student loans just as I am. But the difference is, I am able to provide practical steps and tips on how to get there.” – Tiffany Grant

“I tell people the key is just to get started.” – Tiffany Grant

The main thing is freedom, right? So once you get out from all of that debt, you start looking at your job differently, you start looking at your spouse differently, start looking at relationships differently, because a lot of times the debt is just so overwhelming and so it stresses you out. And then if it falls into more areas of your life, it starts spilling over.” - Tiffany Grant

“One thing that I've noticed as I was climbing out of debt is that I was able to look at jobs differently. I'm like, “Look, I don't need this job as much as I thought I did because at this point I'm more financially stable.” You're no longer working for companies just because you need that paycheck. And I feel like that is the most freeing thing.” – Tiffany Grant

When people send me messages, like people that aren't even clients, but they listen to my content and they're like, “Hey, my credit score increased 20 points, or I just got approved for this house.” It's just little stories like that, that's what keeps me going in my business.” - Tiffany Grant

My advice is to just go ahead and figure out what kind of loan you have, be it private or federal or Stafford and therefore you can know what options you have.” – Tiffany Grant

I recommend that people know exactly how much they owe, how much they started with, and how much it is now, because another thing that people discount or take for granted is the interest that accrues.” – Tiffany Grant

I tell people if you can't make a payment or your payment is too much for your current situation, talk to the loan service providers. Student loans aren't going anywhere. And that's why I tell people to please take them seriously. They are not like any other debt out there. - Tiffany Grant

Episode: “Nurse Burnout with Mary Buffington RN ”

Welcome to another episode of Nurse Marketing: The Business of Nursing!

Yet today, we are navigating uncertain times along with burnout. 


Please note these feeling of burnout among nurses is not new and is an old problem.

My story started back in 2014. I actually had severe burnout at that point in my career. And what ended up happening was, I felt really alone. And I spent two years afterward, just basically trying to figure things out, I quit the job that I had sort of hit my burnout in.” - Mary Buffington

It’s such a hard time to be in and it's such a vulnerable time. You really need someone that's been there that really can speak to it, and I wanted to give that gift back to nurses that my coach gave to me.” - Mary Buffington

For those of you who are coaches and are thinking about how you need to get the word out about what it is that you do, podcasts are an amazing medium to do that.” – Amelia

I don't just simply say like, let's focus on self-care, I actually have four domains that I work with them because I think there are people that have other issues than self-care.” - Mary Buffington

There’s so much a fate at stake if you're basically someone that's just like I'm just going to keep pushing through, and there's a difference between pushing through for something worthwhile, as opposed to basically putting yourself in a situation that you are cutting off your nose off your face to basically be alive, and is it worth it?” - Mary Buffington

I think one of the big causes of obscurity is having a level of deficit in your self-love and how you view yourself in self value.” - Mary Buffington

one of the things that I think is a very powerful statement that I use for myself is, whenever I'm in that place where I feel like I'm not able, I'm small, I'm not bringing enough value. I'm always telling myself, I am enough and I deserve this.” - Mary Buffington

If you're trying to be someone else, you're going to burn yourself out in the process.” - Mary Buffington

Just because I am more competent at doing certain things doesn't mean that I don't have the voice back my brain saying, “You're going to fail. You suck.” Like, I have my inner mean girl that I have to work with a lot.” - Mary Buffington

Every single person needs a coach and coaches have coaches.” – Amelia

Know what it is that you want.” – Amelia

I do think you need to have like that spider web of people like you can't be the lone person. You need to like to be connecting with other people.” - Mary Buffington

You can either grow your rice field or else you can go to the store and get rice.” - Mary Buffington

I do think your story has value, and even though you might not know who needs to hear your story, there is a person that needs to hear your story.” - Mary Buffington

People do business with people they know and trust.” – Amelia

When you help and serve enough people, people will conspire ways to work with you and try to figure it out.” - Amelia

When you're leading a team, you're creating those working and functional relationships. Your employees and team members know that you care about them, which in turn makes it so they care about your company.” – Jamie Van Cuyk

You need to make sure that you're hiring for your specific needs, and that's one of the areas that I help my clients with so that they can go on and find the right person.” – Jamie Van Cuyk

Even if you're hiring a contractor versus an employee, you still want to have a fully developed job posting that clearly defines what you need in the position, what tasks need to be done so that you can make the right decisions on who you're going to interview.” – Jamie Van Cuyk

As you're thinking about ways to grow your business, think about what people need before your service, what they need after your service, what they need alongside what it is that you do, and start to develop those relationships.” – Amelia 

“Opportunities are not clouds floating in the sky, they're attached to humans, and the more often that you can talk to enough of the right people, amazing things just have to happen.” Amelia 

You have to start somewhere. Just go out and start networking and building relationships with the people who are going to lead you to that business that you want.” – Jamie Van Cuyk

Main Takeaways and Quotes

I started a medical staffing agency and it blew up overnight and it was an instant success. And so as a part of that, people were coming to me, how did you do it, and asking me all types of questions and I started doing a little bit of consulting. And what I found was, I didn't feel like I have the expertise to give them a well-rounded opinion. It was based only on my experience, so I decided to get my certification as a coach.” – Mary Turner

I was a nurse and I, my specialty was neonatal ICU. And so I had lots of friends that were nurses and I just approached them that I'm starting a medical staffing agency, and I was wondering if there's something you think you might be interested in for some part-time income, and one person told another and before you know it, I had over 200 nurses.” – Mary Turner

I just think that businesses personal and is all about building those relationships. And people do business with people that they trust. And so that's kind of difficult with mass marketing. And I know there's an opportunity there, but the real connections are the ones that translate into dollars and cents.” – Mary Turner

“Mostly word of mouth, I do nurse coaching and you build those relationships and you start having conversations. One thing leads to another and you end up coaching people. It’s through business relationships that I've gotten most of my clients” – Mary Turner

I help people see that there's another way that they can be doing things, and through that, I help them to transform not only who they're being, but through this transformative process, they actually can transform their business and end up having a business that they love.” – Mary Turner

I believe that collaboration helps you to work smart, not hard. And when you have multiple heads, you come up with a better product, because we all think differently.” – Mary Turner

It’s through that collaboration with others more people are served.” – Mary Turner

“Most of the collaborations that I've had, at least the successful ones, was as a result of asking, just picking up the phone and asking.” – Mary Turner

If you don't ask you won't have.” – Mary Turner

Main Takeaways and Quotes

We chat and determine with my clients and prospective clients what they want to share, what story they want to share, what legacy they want to leave for their families and for future generations.” - Danielle Perlin-Good

“What I really enjoy doing is really helping with my book coaching services, get to the core of what my clients want to teach and what they want to share with their target audience and with their potential readers.” - Danielle Perlin-Good

Two people can have the exact same idea, for example, can be in the same room, have the same experience happen to them, however, they experience that idea and that experience completely differently from one another. So they would write their story about each of their individual experiences completely differently from one another.” - Danielle Perlin-Good

What I really like to teach is the fact that everybody does have an amazing story and amazing way of relating to other people. And if we really look deep inside ourselves, we are able and all capable of sharing our stories and sharing those ideas that we have and we are able to tackle those limiting beliefs that we have, we're able to tackle that victim mindset that we have in relation to our writing.” - Danielle Perlin-Good
