Pivot on Purpose

Interview with Nurse turned Health Coach for Nurses Ashley O'Connor

Episode 8

In this episode I chat with Ashley O'Connor, Registered Nurse turned Health Coach for Nurses and other caregivers.

Ashley shares how she pivoted within nursing to try and find the right fit and how she saw a trememdous need for supporting nurses and helping them care for themselves and changed directions to become a health coach to do just that.

We talk about the guilt and grief and identity shifts we each experienced leaving such well-respected, well-understood professions like nursing and education. We also reframed the unique ways in which we are still both caring for others, but in new capacities.

We also discuss the intuitive pull that we should listen to when it comes to your career, the internal work we must do when it comes to making a change with confidence. 

Ashley also walks us through her thinking process when she knew she was ready for something else, but didn't exactly know what that something was, and how her family reacted to the news about her leaving nursing.
