Balancing Acts: Nurse Coaching, Motherhood, Breathwork, & Mindful Medicine

5,249Nurse Coaches Trained

Balancing motherhood, entrepreneurship, and Nurse Coaching can feel like trying to live three full lives at once. In those moments, even the most capable nurses probably wonder if balance is just a moving target you’re never quite meant to reach.

In this episode, Heather sits down with Nurse Coach, yoga teacher, retreat host, and soon-to-be published author Jenna Hardcastle, who shares what it has actually looked like to build a multidimensional career while raising two young children.

A few years ago, Jenna was attending Nurse Coach events, looking up at the speakers and wondering if she could ever become one of them.

Since then, she has built a private coaching practice, returned to teaching yoga, become certified in breathwork, partnered with a nurse practitioner to co-create mindful medicine retreats, and written her book “The Human Beneath the Hero.”

None of it happened according to a perfectly mapped-out plan. It happened through what she calls messy action: choosing to move forward before everything felt polished or certain.

In this conversation, Jenna opens up about walking through miscarriage and grief, and the humbling realization that she wasn’t ready to be coached; she simply needed support.

That season eventually shaped the retreats she now co-facilitates, integrating yoga, breathwork, ketamine-assisted therapy, and intentional integration so participants can create real change in their daily lives.

Jenna also talks about shifting from human doing to human being, explains how ketamine supports new neural pathways and habit change, and shares how she uses a percentage model to consciously decide how much of herself goes to motherhood and how much to business in any given season.

This episode is a reminder that you can have it all. Just not all at once.
