Let's Get Real
Welcome to Let’s Get Real , the podcast where authentic conversations meet powerful leadership lessons. Hosted by Dr. Reneè Roberts-Turner, nurse leader, speaker, and creator of the Diamond Model, this show goes beyond titles and résumés to uncover what it really takes to lead, build, and thrive on your own terms.
Each episode brings you honest dialogue with trailblazers, change-makers, and visionaries across industries — from healthcare to entrepreneurship — who aren’t afraid to share the wins, the struggles, and the lessons learned along the way.
If you’re ready for real talk about leadership, growth, and building a brand and career that feels aligned with who you are, you’re in the right place.
Because leadership isn’t one-size-fits-all, it’s personal, it’s intentional, and above all, it’s real.

Let's Get Real | Leading Change with Compassion, Strategy & Wellness with Valerie Pogue
In this episode of Let’s Get Real, Dr. Renée Roberts-Turner sits down with Valerie Pogue, Regional Nurse Wellbeing Specialist, for an honest conversation about what it truly means to be well—both at work and in life.
Together, they explore why wellbeing isn’t a “nice to have” for nurses and leaders, but a foundation for sustainability, clarity, and impact. From navigating workplace demands to protecting your energy outside of work, this episode centers on the importance of caring for the whole person—not just the professional role.
If you’re a nurse or leader thinking more intentionally about balance, boundaries, and longevity in your career, this conversation is for you.
