I'll let you in on a secret

You can still be a catalyst for positive change even if you’re not at the bedside.

When you finally graduated nursing school, passed the NCLEX, and officially wrote those two little letters after your name, I bet you were convinced of one thing: 

Anything outside of bedside nursing isn’t “real” nursing.

So, in case you weren’t aware, you are a real nurse in whatever traditional or nontraditional path you decide to take and you can make a positive impact in your community even if it’s not at the bedside.

But I get it. You’ve only been trained in bedside care, so taking a nontraditional path is scary and unknown. 

And let’s be honest, starting and marketing a business may be out of your comfort zone and your initial Google search “how to become an entrepreneur” proved to be information overload.

Let me just tell you, that epic business idea you have is possible, and strategically marketing your business on your own website will attract your ideal client, build genuine relationships, convert sales, and change lives all on your terms.

MY JOURNEY

Hey, I’m Bridget.

REGISTERED NURSE, BRAND MESSAGING STRATEGIST, & website COPYWRITER

I believe everyone has a calling. 

Mine is to support you in following yours, and my business just so happens to be the bridge to help you uncover your creative genius, bring your innovative ideas to life, and create a website that consciously attracts all your raving fans. 

But how did I get here, freelancing as a website-obsessed nurse?

Well, in 2022, I decided to try out travel nursing.

And after a succession of especially difficult shifts during which I had multiple patient deaths, my partner and I were at a dinner party with another couple we had just met a week prior.

In the middle of our conversation about what I do for work and finding common ground in our professional careers, our hosts asked me, “How do you cope with it all?”

I’m not exaggerating when I say I burst into uncontrollable tears — I’m talking like the ugliest ugly cry you can imagine.

That moment of incredibly raw vulnerability led me to pick up my pen after years of a journaling hiatus and hard-launched my career into soft nursing and cozy entrepreneurship.

To revolutionize the nursing industry by helping nurses redefine what it means to be a nurse.

My mission

HUMAN-CENTERED
CORE VALUES

TRUST

I believe in offering services that promote trust and confidence in my fellow nurses’ knowledge, experience, and expertise so they can still positively impact people’s lives even if they aren’t serving them at the bedside.

courage

I believe in being bold, taking risks, and going above and beyond to empower, inspire, and transform the lives of my fellow nurse colleagues.

empathy

I believe in finding common ground, getting honest, and being brave enough to be vulnerable with others. And above all else, I believe everyone’s story matters and has the power to bring about sustainable and meaningful change.

intuition

I believe in leading with the heart, valuing and harnessing intuition as a guiding force in decision-making and problem-solving.

collaboration

I believe in cultivating a spirit of collaboration and mutual support with my client interactions, fostering an inclusive environment where ideas are shared and successes are celebrated together.

Who am I offline?

Even though I’m a bachelor's-educated registered nurse and have worked in medical-surgical acute care, outpatient ambulatory care, and quality and patient safety for the last 8 years, I’m so much more than my career.

Like you, I’m so much more than “just a nurse.”

I’m an introvert who spends more time repeating years-old conversations in my head than actually talking out loud, a partner who’d rather go on adventures than do chores, a registered yoga teacher who doesn’t teach yoga, a cat lady who moonlights as a dog mom, and a dedicated taco enthusiast. 

I also love to pop an entire bag of popcorn just to read a book, I watch Disney animated movies on repeat, and I pay for YouTube premium because I can’t be bothered to watch commercials. 

I’m out here trying my best to lead my business with heart, thoughtful introspection, and courageous feminine energy so I can inspire others to join me in soft nursing and cozy entrepreneurship.

So, what do you say?
