Finding Balance Between Nursing and Motherhood w/ Nurse Coach Ellen LeBleu

5,249Nurse Coaches Trained

For many nurses, balancing motherhood and a demanding nursing career feels like a 13-hour shift that never comes to an end.

In this episode, Heather sits down with Nurse Coach and mom of two, Ellen LeBleu, who shares what it was like to launch a coaching business while navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and toddler chaos.

Ellen’s story is an interesting one. She started out as an ICU nurse, then later as a hospital manager, working long hours and climbing the ladder… until it no longer felt like the life she wanted. 

When she came across a Nurse Coaching ad online, she was instantly hooked. Could she combine her nursing background with wellness coaching?

What started as curiosity turned into a shift that helped her step away from hospital burnout and into a career that fits her life now.

She gets real about using maternity leave as her “pivot point,” what it means to actually balance work and motherhood, and why self-care for moms is important (not selfish).

Ellen also opens up about the mindset shifts she helps other moms make, how she explains her work to her toddlers, and the honest truth about why people will pay for coaching.
