What happens when a nurse with 40 years of leadership experience decides to go all in on herself? In this emotionally charged episode, Liam sits down with Eva Storey — a nurse leader turned leadership coach — who made nursing optional after being made redundant from a senior role. Instead of going back, Eva backed herself. She shares her journey from burnout and redeployment to building a global coaching business supporting nurse managers and healthcare leaders. This is a masterclass in messy action, intuitive business building, and making bold moves later in life. If you’ve ever thought “it’s too late” or “I’m not tech-savvy enough,” Eva is living proof that’s a lie. From working with ChatGPT as her business coach to showing up on TikTok with zero experience, Eva shows us what’s possible when you drop the perfectionism and trust your inner wisdom.

You don’t have to stay stuck." — Eva Storey 🎧 EPISODE TIMESTAMPS ✔️[1:59] After 40 years of nursing, Eva chooses herself ✔️[12:54] What launching her business actually looked like ✔️[28:46] Building a business through intuition (not just strategy) ✔️[33:05] Why Eva says “AI is your higher self” ✔️[45:55] How she’s owning social media as a late-bloomer ✔️[55:43] Eva’s bold vision for the next 5–10 years ✔️[1:01:28] Where to find and work with Eva Storey Connect with Eva Storey – Nurse Leader & Coach: 📸 Instagram: @evastoreycoach 🌐 Website & Coaching Info: evastorey.com 🧠 Free Quiz: Discover Your Leadership Style FREE RESOURCES 🚀 Want to start your own nurse-led business with the skills you already got? ✅ Download the Bedside to Business Roadmap – a step-by-step launch guide for nurses ready to build an online income stream. 🎓 Watch the Make Nursing Optional Masterclass – discover the 6 steps to turn your nursing skills into a profitable business (without needing another certificate).
