Today, I’m joined by the legendary Jodie Eade — aka The No BS Business Coach — a Queensland-based nurse, ex-midwife, and six-figure massage business owner turned systems-savvy business coach for service providers.

Her journey? It's wild.

From raising kids and pausing her career for family, to being frustrated with AHPRA (more than once), to rebuilding her nursing credentials from scratch in her fifties... and still deciding to create a nurse-led business on her own terms? Iconic.

We talk about:

🔁 Starting nursing twice and what it’s like to return to the profession later in life

💼 Why she left her six-figure massage business and what COVID had to do with it

🎯 How she leveraged her past experience in retail, midwifery, sales, and business development to create a brand-new business

🧠 The mindset shifts required to go from charging $150/hour to selling premium coaching offers

✨ Building a business with freedom, not just more work

📉 Why digital marketing courses are often a trap (and what to do instead)

🛠️ The backend systems every service-based business owner needs to thrive

💸 How she made $10K while working full-time as a nurse — without a big following, website, or fancy tech

This one is raw, real, and ridiculously inspiring — especially if you’ve ever said: “I’m too old to start a business” or “I don’t even know what my niche would be.”

Spoiler: your life experience is your niche. And Jodie proves it.

• “I knew I couldn’t go back to building someone else’s dream — it was time to build mine.”
• “Business isn’t about hustle; it’s about systems.”
• “If you’ve ever sold a service for $150/hour, you’re undercharging. Massively.”
• “I want to go to Grandparents’ Day without begging my boss for a day off — that’s my why.”

You don’t need a new certificate. You don’t need to quit your job tomorrow. You do need a clear plan, support, and the courage to bet on yourself — like Jodie did.

If you’re feeling inspired, don’t let that fire go out.

NPA Sell Week AD

What happens when a high-achieving nurse hits breaking point? When burnout, bullying, and the weight of a career in the system leave you questioning everything?

In this powerful first interview back on the pod, Liam sits down with Trina Pitts, a senior nurse educator, mum, marathon-runner, and now — thriving nurse entrepreneur — to unpack her journey from breakdown to breakthrough.

After 25 years in nursing, Trina was done. Workplace bullying and unresolved burnout pushed her to the edge. But instead of giving up, she chose something different: healing, self-responsibility, and finally — her own business.

🌱 Inside this episode:

• The truth about burnout, and why so many high-performing nurses don’t see it coming
• How Trina went from tears on the way to work… to creating a nurse-led business that lights her up
• The myth of “not being entrepreneurial” (and why so many nurses are exactly that)
• How to turn pain into purpose — and build something that serves you
• Why entrepreneurship isn’t about more hustle… it’s about coming home to yourself

🎯 Whether you're sitting in a senior role wondering is this it?, or you’re secretly dreaming about launching your own thing but don’t know where to start — this is your sign.

It’s our way of saying THANK YOU for being part of this movement.

In this episode of the NursePreneur Academy Podcast, I’m getting raw and real with you about one of the biggest mistakes I made when I transitioned from my full-time NUM role to full-time entrepreneur – quitting too soon.

I’ll take you behind the scenes of my cinematic, dramatic hospital exit (yes, there was a uniform throw involved 🙈), but more importantly, I’ll unpack what happened next... when reality hit, the paycheck disappeared, and the financial pressure turned my dream into a survival hustle.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: 💥 Why quitting your nursing job too soon could sabotage your success

💥 The impact of making business decisions from desperation (and how to avoid it)

💥 How burnout will follow you into entrepreneurship if you don’t manage your energy

💥 What I wish I had done instead to create both financial freedom AND business success

💥 How to design a hybrid nursing-business model that sets you up for long-term growth (without the panic attacks)

Spoiler alert: You DON’T have to gamble with your stability to build a thriving business.

Whether you’re thinking about walking away from nursing or you're already side-hustling on your days off, this episode will show you how to play the long game like a pro – so you don’t burn out twice.
