In this episode, Nicole opens up about turning 49, revisiting her own evolution, and what it’s taken to stay grounded when the world keeps shape-shifting.
From embracing therapy to rewriting her definitions of success, she lays out a real-life-tested five-point plan for navigating seasons of massive change — without losing yourself (or your sense of humor).
There’s some tough love, some funny sidebars (we’re looking at you, custom bra fitting), and a whole lot of clarity for anyone who feels like the ground is shifting beneath them.
We talk about:
1.) Why redefining “exceptional” might be the most exceptional thing you do
2.) What Nashville, leadership mugs, and chameleons have to do with adapting
3.) The difference between crisis and transformation — and why it matters
4.) How to simplify, reconnect, and stay sharp when resources are thin
5.) Nicole’s five-point framework for not just surviving, but sur-thriving

”It is not a time of crisis. It is a time of fucking transformation.”
”I don't care what it is that you believe, create a support network.”

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
