EP #218: How to L.E.A.P into Making a Change

As the year comes to a close, Laura and Shelby introduce a powerful framework they have been using behind the scenes for years to help nurse coaches move through fear, uncertainty, and stagnation. In this episode, they break down the L.E.A.P Framework, a practical and deeply human way to understand why change feels so hard and how to keep moving anyway. Whether you are considering nurse coaching, building a private practice, or standing at the edge of a personal or professional shift, this conversation offers clarity, reassurance, and a path forward. This is not about forcing confidence. It is about building it through action, trust, and repetition.

 

The L.E.A.P Framework 

  • L is for Longing: The internal pull toward something more. This is the moment you realize you have outgrown where you are and can no longer ignore the desire for change.

  • E is for Evidence Seeking: The phase where the brain looks for certainty before moving. This becomes a problem when evidence seeking turns into avoidance and delays action.

  • A is for Ambiguity Tolerance: The ability to sit in uncertainty without collapsing, freezing, or quitting. This is one of the most important skills for entrepreneurship and leadership.

  • P is for Practice: Repeated action builds certainty retroactively. Confidence, clarity, and skill are earned through doing, not thinking.
