Go from Burnout
to Balance
Mastering Time, Energy & Confidence for Peace, Purpose & Poise
My POISE™ Method Helps Women Nurses Thrive at Work and Home.
The Burnout Wall You’re Facing
You’re calm in the chaos. The dependable one. The strong nurse everyone turns to.
But behind the confident smile and stacked schedule, you’re wondering…“Why do I feel so disconnected from myself?”
“Is this just what success looks like now? Exhausted, overextended, and stuck?”
“Where did I go in the middle of showing up for everyone else?” Let’s be real:
You don’t need another surface-level wellness tip. You need real healing, practical tools,
and a values-aligned plan that restores you from the inside out.

Meet Coach Darnetta
From Overworked to Overflowing
If you met me today, you’d see a woman anchored in peace — calm, confident, and deeply devoted to helping others live the same way. But it wasn’t always like this.
Before Perseverance with POISE™ ever existed, I was a nurse who gave everything to her work.
I poured endlessly into patients giving care, compassion, and comfort to everyone who needed it. But somewhere along the way, work stopped being what I did and became who I was.
My career quietly became my identity.
As the demands grew, my peace faded. My family’s laughter grew quieter.
My marriage became a cycle of exhaustion and distance.
I told myself I was doing it all for them, but deep down
I knew I was drifting away from everything that truly mattered.
On the outside, I was thriving. Inside, I was empty.
I had mastered caring for others, but I had forgotten how to care for myself.
Then came the moment that changed everything.
I was hospitalized with Atrial Fibrillation, my heart literally out of rhythm, mirroring the pace of my life. Every test came back normal, but nothing about my life was.
That was my wake-up call.
It wasn’t just my body that needed healing — it was my boundaries, my peace, my marriage, and my faith.
That hospital bed became sacred ground — the place where I finally said it out loud:
“I’m burned out.”
And for the first time, I stopped performing strength and started pursuing peace.
Through prayer, surrender, and intentional discipline, I began rebuilding not just my body, but my life.
I found stillness in surrender, strength in softness, and God in the quiet spaces
I had been too busy to meet Him.
That transformation birthed Perseverance with POISE™
a movement for women nurses ready to rise from burnout into balance.
Through my signature POISE™ Framework
Purpose, Ownership, Identity, Strength, and Evolve
I teach women nurses how to master their time, energy, and
confidence so they can live with peace, purpose, and poise.
Today, as a Certified Coach, wife, mother, and founder of Perseverance with POISE™,
I guide women nurses into who they were always meant to become
grounded, graceful, and guided by purpose.
Because burnout doesn’t end your story; it awakens it.
It’s not a breakdown, it’s an invitation. A call to rise with peace leading the way.
You don’t have to keep holding it all together while quietly falling apart.
You can rise again — stronger, softer, and anchored in grace.
Welcome home.
With Grace and Gratitude,
Coach Darnetta
Meet Coach Darnetta
From Overworked to Overflowing
I’m Coach Darnetta—a nurse, certified coach, and burnout survivor.
At 19, I was a single mom on government assistance. I rose through the ranks of healthcare, broke generational cycles, and reached six figures—but inside, I was unraveling. Years of overworking and people-pleasing landed me in the hospital with AFib. That wake-up call changed
everything. Now, I help nurses like you break the burnout cycle, reclaim their identity, and lead their lives with clarity and confidence. I’m a mother to a son and two amazing stepdaughters, and I know firsthand what it’s like to juggle care, career, and calling. I created POISE™ to give women like us a path back to ourselves—with grace and strategy.

Testimonials
"My life changed forever"
Before working with Coach Darnetta, I was in survival mode. Now, I’m walking in purpose, with boundaries and joy.
"Highly recommend this"
She doesn’t just coach she sees you. The POISE method helped me reconnect with who I really am.
"I wholeheartedly recommend Darnetta..."
- Hope Ann
When I saw Darnetta's video about the 5 day challenge, I was very interested. I'm not a nurse, but have been struggling to recover from job burnout. The times available for the 1 on 1 virtual meetings worked for my schedule, so I signed up. In the 5 days, she was able to help me see what I've been neglecting, and that was myself! She asked the difficult questions and was right there encouraging me while finding the answers. 5 days isn't enough, but it was the start I needed! I wholeheartedly recommend Darnetta and Perseverance with Poise
