In Part 2, we go deeper. Much deeper.
This episode is raw, honest, and incredibly human. Noelle shares the truth about the affair—what she was chasing, the fantasy it created, and the reality it destroyed. We talk about the guilt, the counseling, and the unraveling of a marriage she desperately tried to save.
But this is also a story of rebuilding.
Noelle opens up about:
Her adoption and infertility journey
Going from zero to four children
The complexities of parenting children with early trauma
The shame she still carries as a mother
How trauma rewrites our nervous system—and how she's learning to rewire her own
Her decision to not live as a victim of her past
And the moment she chose forgiveness over bitterness—especially with her father
This isn’t a story wrapped in a bow. It’s a story still unfolding.
If you’ve ever felt like your mistakes disqualified you from healing, from motherhood, from leadership, from love—this episode is for you.
Because what matters most isn’t perfection.
It’s ownership.
And Noelle is showing us what that really looks like.
Catch Part 1 to hear how it all began, if you missed it.
