Call the Nurse

One year ago, Call the Nurse was just an idea — a quiet knowing inside me that there was something more I was meant to say beyond the walls of the hospital. In this deeply personal anniversary episode, I sit down with my coach, mentor, and dear friend, Liz Svatek — the woman who helped me finally stop playing small and launch this podcast. Liz is a mindset mastery teacher, a rapid transformation coach, and the host of The Liz Svatek Show—a globally ranked top 1% podcast. Together, we talk about midlife awakening, radical personal responsibility, inner child healing, and what it really means to keep evolving instead of shrinking as we age. This conversation dives into the deeper work so many women avoid — the healing beneath the success, the patterns beneath the pain, and the childhood wounds that quietly shape how we show up in relationships, motherhood, work, and even the way we care for ourselves.Liz shares powerful insights on why learning keeps us alive, why women in midlife often disconnect from themselves, and how expansion is still possible no matter your age or season of life. We also discuss what it means to stop abandoning yourself, reclaim your voice, and finally give the younger version of you the safety, compassion, and love she may have never received.This episode is raw, honest, emotional, and deeply aligned with the heart of Call the Nurse: life support for the stories that don’t make it in the chart.If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or like you’ve lost pieces of yourself while caring for everyone else… this conversation is your reminder that healing is possible, your story still matters, and your growth is not over. In many ways, it may just be beginning. 🤍🎙️Connect with Mindie!IG: @callthenursepodcastTikTok: @callthenursepodcastYouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/@CallTheNursePodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: [email protected] with Liz!IG: @lizsvatek https://www.lizsvatek.comLiz’s Book- Finding Your Diamondshttps://a.co/d/064t3JgSThe Liz Svatek Showhttps://open.spotify.com/show/6HyfoKeFfVkNBC92ju4HcZ?si=-5xhhYQdSUevPRqO77RdRQThank you to our sponsor, Alano Massi, CFP-Founder & Managing Director of Palm Capital ManagementHe is also author of "Lasting Wealth: Mastering Essential Knowledge For Retirement Planning"⁠⁠https://www.palmcm.com/⁠⁠To Buy "Lasting Wealth" Click here: ⁠⁠https://a.co/d/0cZuhykZ⁠⁠
