In today's episode, Nicola explores how two seemingly well-meaning emotions, hope and worry, can quietly erode the intimacy we crave in our relationships. She unpacks how these states, often rooted in fear, judgment, and subtle control, can disempower the very people we love.
You’ll learn why phrases like “I hope you’re taking care of yourself” or "I hope it all works out for you" may feel good to say but often land with shame, pressure, or distance. Nicola shares practical shifts from passive hopes to clear desires or support, and from anxious worry to trust and powerful inquiry. This episode is a soulful invitation to communicate in ways that build deeper resonance, connection, and true mutual empowerment.
Plus, get a sneak peek into The Communication Codes, Nicola’s new online course launching May 15, and how it can transform the way you relate, ask, express, and receive.
