In this powerful episode, Liam chats with Annabel Wood, a nurse with over 25 years in healthcare who hit a wall after building a multiple six-figure business while juggling motherhood and 90-hour workweeks. Her burnout landed her in hospital. Twice. And forced her to ask the hardest question of all: What am I doing this for? Now the founder of The Wellness Shift Coach, Annabel is helping other primary healthcare nurses reclaim their energy, purpose, and power — without quitting nursing (unless they want to). “If your values and your work don’t align — burnout is inevitable.” This is a deeply personal, belief-shifting convo about stress, resilience, and rising again after it all falls apart. Whether you’re feeling exhausted, stuck, or secretly dreaming of a nurse-led business of your own — Annabel’s journey will light a fire in you. ⏱️ EPISODE TIMESTAMPS ✔️[2:09] Start of Annabel’s Interview ✔️[2:27] Why Annabel Became a Nurse at 4 Years Old ✔️[5:30] The Cracks Begin: When Burnout Took Over Her Business ✔️[9:05] Rock Bottom: Hospitalised with Burnout and Forced to Let Go ✔️[15:35] Why She Came Back to Business (Again) ✔️[21:10] Building The Wellness Shift Coach ✔️[23:37] Her Biggest Fear: “What If No One Buys This?” ✔️[27:56] Why Primary Healthcare Nurses Need THIS Roadmap ✔️[33:32] Her Proudest Moment as a NursePreneur ✔️[39:31] If You’re Burned Out But Scared to Make a Change...
