When was the last time a health professional truly looked at all of you — not just one part or address only one complaint?

Most of us can relate: We go to our primary care provider… and if something isn’t “normal,” we’re referred:
➡️ Cardiology for the heart
➡️ Neurology for headaches
➡️ GI for gut issues
➡️ Ortho for joint pain

Sometimes the specialists collaborate. Sometimes they’re simply too busy to connect the dots. But the truth is — everything is connected.

Your 8 pillars of health — physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, nutritional, financial, occupational, and environmental — work together like a system.
>A stressful job can affect your sleep.
>Poor sleep can trigger headaches.
>Headaches can impact your mood/emotions.
>Your mood can affect your relationships… and so on.

Just this week I have been asked what I do — and I shared:

I’m a board certified nurse coach. I use my nursing knowledge to help clients balance their health “wheel” and gave this example:
I was that client who had seen 23+ providers for migraines. Together, with my nurse coach we took a step back. We looked at everything — food, sleep, air quality, fragrances, stress, purpose. We problem-solved across the pillars until symptoms improved or were eliminated. That inspired me to help others in similar health and wellness situations to me.

That’s what whole-person care is. And that’s what nurse coaching is meant to be. Assess your wellness by downloading this tool or check out my other free resources: wellnessbymisty.com

If you’re ready to explore how your pillars of health connect — or you know someone who’s searching for answers — DM me. I’d be honored to help.

🩺 15 years ago today, I graduated nursing school.

I started my career as an Occupational Health and Safety Nurse in a potato manufacturing facility in the PNW — educating, advocating, and caring for over 500 workers & contractors while building and maintaining safety and wellness programs.

Since then, nursing has changed — for both nurses and patients:
1️⃣ Technology — We’ve moved from paper charts to EMRs, telehealth, and AI tools that assist (but sometimes complicate) care.
2️⃣ Patient needs — Chronic conditions are more common. Cases are more complex. And insurance limitations often leave little time for true patient education or prevention.
3️⃣ Workplace pressures — Staffing shortages, higher patient acuity, and moral injury are all too familiar in today’s healthcare environments.
4️⃣ Access to care — Medical advances have been incredible, but the system is harder to navigate — with real barriers that leave many patients falling through the cracks.
5️⃣ The nurse’s role — We’ve evolved beyond the bedside. Today’s nurse is also a teacher, advocate, coach, and change-maker.

This is why nurse coaching matters. It reflects what Florence Nightingale envisioned:
Nursing as both a science and an art — focused on helping people heal, grow, and thrive.

Here’s to 15 years of making a difference — and to the next chapter, where my work as a nurse coach helps others create lasting change. Your first 30-minute call is a zero-pressure space to explore your goals and see if we’re a good fit.

Glitter is fun for 5 minutes…and then it's the devil, she told me.

I snapped this picture years ago — spray adhesive, glitter, a doll, markers… all scattered across the carpet in my daughter’s room. Out of the frame there was scribbling on her carpet with sharpie.

It made me smile (and sigh) when I found it recently.
Life at that stage? CHAOTIC. At lunch we had a daily check-in called "Addy's Antics" and I'd share what she had been up to in the previous 24 hours. My colleagues would get a hearty chuckle, & I'd often receive parenting wisdom from them since I was the youngest teacher on staff.

And honestly, so much of it still feels that way sometimes.
That glitter? It reminds me of the quick fixes we grab onto when we’re overwhelmed:
➡️ The crash diet, pill, or injection that promises fast results
➡️ The planner that’s going to “finally” organize your time
➡️ The habit you try to start (again) when stress hits
➡️ Skimming a Bible verse instead of sitting with it & meditating on it

It feels good for a moment — but we’re left cleaning up the mess when it doesn’t stick.

This weekend, our pastor reminded us to stay engaged — with the Word, with what truly nourishes us. He shared that in a study from Center for Bible Engagement that: 9/10 people own a Bible. 98% of people believe the Bible is relevant to their life. 96% of people say it is their life authority. But, only 50% of people read it daily.

The primary reason people didn't engage daily with their Bible: too busy. Too busy! (If you would like to listen to this sermon let me know and I'll share the YouTube link!)

As with our faith, it is the same with our health, our work, and our wellness. When we slow down and stay engaged DAILY with what matters — whether that’s our body, our mind, or our spirit — that’s when we see lasting change.

🩺 As a nurse coach, I help people move past the quick glitter fixes and build real, lasting hope, health and purpose.

What’s one area where you want to be more engaged right now? I’d love to hear.

And if you’re ready for support, send me a DM — or share this with someone who came to mind as you read.

For years, I had made a point to keep a plant in my classroom office and fresh flowers in my brick and mortar wellness center—sometimes it was a flowering plant once a season, other times it was a weekly ritual! This was all before I learned the health benefits behind plants and flowers!

Now that I'm working virtually, I've made it a point to pick them up for my home. I’ve shopped from my local florist when I wanted something special, and more often than not I've grabbed a cheerful bunch from Albertsons or Costco while grocery shopping. No matter where they come from, these simple additions often create a pick-me-up in my daily life.

DID YOU KNOW: Bringing fresh flowers or live plants into your space is not about an occasional treat—it’s about weaving small, intentional choices into your lifestyle that nurture your well-being. And the ripple effect? It touches all 8 pillars of wellness:

✨ Emotional – Flowers brighten your mood and ease stress naturally.
✨ Mental – Plants and blooms encourage mindfulness; they gently ground you in the present moment.
✨ Physical – Cleaner air, a calmer nervous system, and a subtle nudge to slow down.
✨ Spiritual – A reminder of God’s beautiful creation and the joy found in simple things.
✨ Environmental – Greener, fresher spaces support a sense of peace and balance.
✨ Financial – Small, affordable choices like grocery store blooms can help curb the urge for bigger, pricier “pick-me-ups.”
✨ Occupational – A plant or flower at your desk can spark creativity and focus.
✨ Nutritional – A lovely table arrangement might even inspire more intentional, nourishing meals so you can sit at the table and enjoy them!

💡 A few easy tips to make fresh flowers feel doable:

Watch for clearance flowers and plants—many stores offer bouquets for $5 or less and may have a clearance section for plants.

Choose a single stem or small bundle. A single daisy or rose in a jar is plenty to lift a space.

Swap cuttings or clippings with friends or neighbors.

MY FAVE TIP: It’s not about having a magazine-perfect home—it’s about small steps that support the whole YOU. Click into the pictures for extra tips.

Nurses — we’ve been the original health coaches long before it became a trendy title. We’re natural teachers, healers, and advocates — and that’s exactly how I serve my clients today.

I’ve been in healthcare for 15 years this week — as a Registered Nurse (BSN) and Licensed Massage Therapist, and a Teacher/Adjunct Faculty in public education and community college levels for 5 years.

The people I have worked with through the years have accomplished so much while balancing what feels like the weight of the world:
> Graduating high school and beyond
> Raising children and grandchildren
> Juggling careers or pursuing higher education
> Supporting aging parents — sometimes right in their own homes
> Showing up every day for patients, employees, or colleagues
> Volunteering in their communities
> Being that steady person everyone counts on

Maybe that sounds like you.
Maybe it sounds like your wife, your sister, or a friend.

And, when they have a health scare or crisis, that’s often where I come in.

Through Wellness by Misty, I help busy, big-hearted people take intentional steps to care for their own health and wellness — so they can continue to give their best to others without burning out.

This is what I do — blending clinical experience, nervous system and bodywork, and board certified coaching principles to help people refocus on their health, their goals, & their next chapter. Because coaching is about fine-tuning what you desire for in the future!

If this sounds like you — or someone you care about — send me a DM. Or share my website & tag that person who came to mind as you read in the comments below. I’d love to connect.

I’m testing out something new and exciting, and I could really use your help!

I’m piloting a 21-Day Lifestyle Reboot using a program that’s science-backed, progress-focused, and fits beautifully with how I already support women through lifestyle coaching.

I’m looking for 15-20 women who are ready for a short and simple lifestyle refresh—without overwhelm or perfection. Think of it as a gentle nudge toward more intentional living, with a little guided support and encouragement along the way.

You ever just need a reset?

Not a total life overhaul… just enough to feel like you again?

This is not a diet. It’s not a fitness plan.

It IS a simple, guided lifestyle refresh built around small daily habits, reflection, and meaningful change. And I’ll be with you every step of the way.

Here’s what I’m asking for:
✔️ A 3-week commitment to daily micro-coaching and reflection
✔️ Complete a pre-assessment so I can tailor the experience
✔️ Give honest feedback through a post-assessment at the end
✔️ A $39 investment to hold your spot (and your heart in the game)

This is your chance to reboot your energy, mindset, and self-care—while helping me refine a powerful new tool for the women I serve.

Interested in helping me shape this?
Comment “REBOOT” below or DM me and I’ll send the details your way.

After a Saturday evening rain (and hail) our backyard view has sure greened up!

Here’s your reminder to hydrate with a little more water tonight & put down your screen a little earlier to watch the sunset.

How’s your Monday treating you so far?

Over here, I’m deep in the trenches of single-wife life. One kiddo is graduating in May (and heading to Costa Rica for an internship just 4 days later—he’s asking ALL.THE.QUESTIONS!). My youngest is juggling school and sports, while my husband is long-hauling, leaving the homefront all mine to manage. Oh, and I'm sure you know I’m running both our businesses? 😅 Life is full, exciting—and it’s a lot. Maybe you can relate?

But here’s the thing: chronic stress is silently taking a toll on your health--and mine if I'm not careful. Did you know:
🔹 77% of people regularly experience physical symptoms caused by stress.
🔹 Women are twice as likely as men to develop stress-related conditions—like heart disease, the #1 cause of death in women.
🔹 Stress is linked to 75-90% of all doctor visits, with symptoms ranging from headaches to gut issues.
🔹 Cortisol overload contributes to stubborn weight gain, insomnia, and brain fog.
🔹 And yes, chronic stress literally shrinks your brain—impacting memory and decision-making. 🧠

This is where nurse coaching comes in!

As a board-certified nurse coach, I help busy women (like you) reduce stress and build sustainable wellness habits—without adding more to your plate.

67% of chronic health issues (like hypertension, diabetes, and fatigue) IMPROVE with lifestyle coaching.

For businesses, reducing employee stress through coaching cuts healthcare costs by 15-20% and boosts productivity.

Two Quick Stress-Busters You Can Try Today:
1️⃣ Box Breathing 🫁 – Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4. Repeat for 2-3 minutes to calm your nervous system. (Pro Tip: Set a timer so you can fully focus on your breath, not the clock.)
2️⃣ Habit Stacking 🌿 – Add a mindful moment to your routine. (Example: While waiting for your coffee, stretch or say a quick prayer.)

You’re sharp. You’re driven. But why does your brain feel like it’s Jell-O by 2 PM?

Here’s the sneaky thief robbing you of mental clarity: chronic stress.

When stress runs the show, your brain’s prefrontal cortex (the command center for focus + decision-making) takes a backseat.

💡 Quick Fix:

Pause right now. Set your timer for 60 seconds. Close your eyes. Breathe in slowly for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 4. Repeat. Feel that shift? That’s your nervous system shifting saying “thank you.”

👩‍⚕️ As a Board-Certified Nurse Coach, I help busy women regain mental sharpness and calm through sustainable holistic wellness habits. Are you a small business CEO or manager? I offer wellness solutions for employees that are the perfect complement to your employment package--schedule a meeting with me to explore!
