🎙️ Episode 15 Di Riddell - Confidence, Courage, Stories, and Nursing Wisdom 🎙️
from Your Nurse Voice Matters · host Wendy Trevarthen
This week, I’m thrilled to introduce the incredible Di Riddell — confidence coach, speaker, author, and proud retired nurse. With a career spanning decades, Di brings heart, humour, and wisdom to our conversation about nursing then and now. ✨ Key takeaways from our chat: Nursing in the '60s was nothing like today — uniforms, rules, and the matron’s eyes were intense! Di’s wild ride from trainee nurse to stepmum of four at age 24 — and how she found her way back to nursing. Why your voice matters — and how confidence isn’t a trophy on the wall but an energy you radiate. The value of teamwork, tenacity, and toeing the line (or not 😉). A timeless reminder that despite the tech, nursing is still human work. 👀 Stay tuned for a surprising gold nugget near the end — one of Di’s cheekiest stories yet! You can contact Di at [email protected] If you are a Registered Nurse with a story to tell, or know one that has, reach back to me at www.healthyoptionsnow.org
