No One Asked But… 2025 Was Actually a Really Good Year — Let’s Plan 2026

As 2025 comes to a close, Nicole reflects on why this past year was actually a powerful season of growth — even in the midst of job loss, uncertainty, and a heavy cultural climate. In this solo No One Asked But… episode, she shares why it’s okay to admit when things are going well, how to stop waiting for the “other shoe to drop,” and why learning to enjoy the good moments matters more than ever.

Nicole opens up about how losing a job early in 2025 created space for alignment, clarity, and renewed focus — and why passion projects can fuel your life in ways a traditional career sometimes can’t. She also walks through the mindset shifts that helped her protect her energy, tune out negativity, and stay grounded during a divisive and overwhelming year.

This episode also dives into the tools Nicole uses to prepare for a new year with intention, including Human Design, astrology, the Enneagram, vision boards, and daily mindset practices. She explains how apps like Align, Co–Star, and Activations — along with tools like ChatGPT — can be used for self-awareness, purpose discovery, and goal setting without feeling rigid or overwhelming.

If you’re heading into 2026 craving clarity, alignment, and a more intentional approach to growth, this episode is your reminder that believing in yourself comes first — long before anyone else does.
