Ep3: How to Embrace Self-Care as Soul-Care- Lindsay Johnson, MSN, RN, NC-BC

Episode 3:  Lindsay Johnson, MSN, RN, NC-BC Highlights

“I see Nurse Coaching as an expanded view of health care in a more integrative sense;  we are impacted by a complex dynamic of things rather than just little things.” 
- Lindsay Johnson

• Embracing self-care as soul-care can shift the way you care for yourself, without caring about yourself, and this is very important in times when one feels self-critical, or in self-doubt.  Caring for yourself without caring about yourself oftentimes allows self-love.
• A Registered Nurse’s career is a continuous evolution through employment, connections, business, personal achievements and life.
• One of the perks of being a Registered Nurse, is that they can be placed into any role and they will be successful in it.
• Nurse Coaching promotes health systematically and addresses the physical yes, but also the other sides of health and wellness, like mental health, emotional health, spiritual health.
• Health is impacted by our communities, healthcare access, access to healthy food and water.
• How being ‘chased by a virus we can’t see’ affects our health by living in a constant level of increased stress.  Nurse Coaches help clients and communities find ways to tackle stress in meaningful ways.
• How helping clients find Food Freedom through Whole 30 Coaching accesses a deeper view of self-awareness and less restrictive views about eating.  Using Food and the Whole 30 System accesses self-awareness and link the awareness to food behaviors, ideas and habits.
