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.”
