About this listen

This week, I’m thrilled to introduce the incredible Di Riddell — confidence coach, speaker, author, and proud retired nurse. With a career spanning decades, Di brings heart, humour, and wisdom to our conversation about nursing then and now.

✨ Key takeaways from our chat:

  • Nursing in the '60s was nothing like today — uniforms, rules, and the matron’s eyes were intense!
  • Di’s wild ride from trainee nurse to stepmum of four at age 24 — and how she found her way back to nursing.
  • Why your voice matters — and how confidence isn’t a trophy on the wall but an energy you radiate.
  • The value of teamwork, tenacity, and toeing the line (or not 😉).
  • A timeless reminder that despite the tech, nursing is still human work.

👀 Stay tuned for a surprising gold nugget near the end — one of Di’s cheekiest stories yet!
