In this week’s episode, Adrianne welcomes nurse educator, holistic wellness coach, and creator of the Nurses of Color Collective, Erica Bailey. They have an in-depth conversation about Erica’s roles as a nurse as well as a seeker of self-care, and how it led her to become a holistic wellness coach for other caregivers. They dive into what a wellness coach is, does, and how a nursing license factors into the scope of practice in this role. If you’d like to learn more about Erica’s coaching endeavors, you can check out her beautiful website at balmforthesoul.com. They also talk about the Nurses of Color Collective, why BIPOC-only spaces are so vitally important, and what nurses can do in their personal and professional lives to find and/or create these spaces.
