    S3E76 How a military nurse turned entrepreneur is improving the credentialing process Guest Sarah Bellenger
    Dec 8 2025
    Welcome our guests today, Sarah Bellenger, founder of Manage You in Nashville, Tennessee. Today’s episode, “How a military nurse turned entrepreneur is improving the credentialing process”. I interview nurses who are business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders. I want to hear inspiring stories from the nurse next door who is making a difference in the entrepreneurial and business space. My mission is for you to own your seat at the table of nurse entrepreneurship, gaining confidence, skills, and freedom to live your life on your own terms. You will dream big and expand your consciousness as an entrepreneur.- Tina Baxter, Show Host and Founder of The Nurse Shark Academy. About Sarah Bellenger Sarah Bellenger, a 20-year Army Nurse and CRNA turned health tech founder, leads Manage You—a powerful digital wallet and team collaboration platform that streamlines credentialing for clinicians and healthcare enterprises, transforming compliance from a burden into a strategic advantage. OR... I didn't know how brief. But I thought they both would help summarize the nursing part. Sarah Bellenger, MBA, MSN, CRNA, LTC(R), combines more than two decades of clinical and leadership experience with entrepreneurial vision.  After earning her BSN from Marquette University (1999) and completing nurse‑anesthesia training at Northeastern University (2011), she built a distinguished career in military and civilian settings, including deployments, White House service, and leadership roles in perioperative care.  As a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist and clinical leader, she has overseen operations, quality, and team development.  In parallel, Sarah founded Manage You, a health‑tech venture offering credentialing and professional documentation management for clinicians.  Her app was honored with a NETTY Award for “Best Diligent Solution” in 2024.  Her military background (20 years’ service, retired in 2019) has informed her leadership style and emphasis on systems, efficiency, and mentorship.  Sarah now bridges clinical excellence with digital innovation, positioning herself as a leader at the intersection of nursing, operational management, and health tech.

About Angela Johnson Angela Johnson, RN and owner of Kudzu (pronounced Kud-zoo) Collaborations, LLC. A business that's given her the ability to support those that are ready to change direction, start over, and find their own path to wellness as an Empowered Wellness Coach. My journey began when my daughter asked my husband and I to go to Greece for her birthday. I found myself in another situation where I tell myself, "I'm not the type of person that does that?" But, unlike the times before, I then asked myself, "why not?" That, "why not?" turned into "why not!" as I realized that I didn't have to stay that type of person. I took that belief, built a new way forward, and stepped into alignment. I was always meant to be an Empowered Wellness Coach, right here, with all of you. Pouring from a full cup into co-created spaces that truly want you to be well. Rooted in the power of choice, clarity, and the connection to yourself.

Podcast Title: Leading Through the Chaos in Business Episode: Surviving and Thriving in Economic Downturns, Market Shifts, and Turnover Host: Tina Baxter Powered by: The Nurse Shark Academy Welcome back to The Nurse Shark Academy Show Podcast — the place where nurses learn how to build, grow, and lead thriving businesses without losing heart or purpose along the way. Today’s topic is one that every entrepreneur — especially nurse entrepreneurs — will face at some point: leading through chaos. Whether it’s an economic downturn, a rapidly changing marketplace, or frustrating employee turnover, chaos can make even the most passionate nurse-business owner wonder, “What did I get myself into?” But here’s the thing: chaos isn’t the enemy. Chaos is the classroom. It’s where your leadership is tested, refined, and ultimately proven. So in the next few minutes, we’re going to unpack how to lead with clarity and calm when everything around you feels uncertain. Let’s start by naming what chaos looks like in a business. For some of you, it’s the economy tightening — clients spending less, contracts getting delayed, or reimbursement rates dropping. For others, it’s the marketplace shifting — new technologies, regulations, or competitors that seem to change the rules overnight. And then there’s employee turnover — that revolving door that can drain your time, money, and morale. Here’s a mindset shift: chaos doesn’t mean failure. Chaos means movement. It means the world around you is changing — and your job as a leader isn’t to resist change but to navigate it. Think of it like this: when you’re in a code blue, the room is chaotic. Alarms are sounding, people are shouting, and everything happens fast. But a good nurse doesn’t panic. She focuses, prioritizes, and leads. Business leadership in chaotic times works the same way. Your calm becomes everyone else’s anchor. Let’s talk about money, the part that makes most business owners squirm. Economic downturns happen. Markets dip. Clients pull back. But the businesses that survive — and even grow — are the ones that stay strategic instead of scared. Here are a few practical things you can do: Know your numbers. Look at your expenses, revenue streams, and margins. Cut what doesn’t serve your mission, but don’t just slash blindly. Protect what generates value — your people, your marketing, your client relationships. Diversify your income. If you’re a nurse consultant, add an online course. If you own a clinic, offer telehealth or group programs. Multiple revenue streams mean multiple safety nets. Build cash reserves. Aim for at least 3–6 months of operating expenses saved. It’s not glamorous, but it’s freedom. When everyone else is panicking, you’ll have options. Focus on relationships, not just transactions. When ...
