## Resource

In today’s episode of the Successful Nurse Coach Podcast , Laura dives into the power of identity and how the roles, systems, and environments around us quietly shape who we become. Laura shares personal stories from her nursing career, including the realities of working through exhaustion, pregnancy, and people-pleasing tendencies, while unpacking how many nurses unknowingly adopt identities that leave them feeling stuck, disconnected, and misaligned. This conversation explores the difference between living by default versus intentionally creating the version of yourself you truly want to become. From nurse to coach, employee to leader, Laura explains why lasting transformation starts with identity first, not strategy. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve outgrown your current reality, this episode will challenge you to rethink who you are becoming and what is actually possible for your life.
