    No One Asked, But… The Advice That Actually Changed My Life

    In this solo No One Asked, But… episode, Nicole shares some of the most impactful advice she’s collected over the years — the kind of truths you hear over and over, but don’t fully understand until life humbles you a little (or a lot). From rebranding and romanticizing your life, to realizing that no decision is still a decision, this episode is an honest, unfiltered conversation about growth, boundaries, intuition, and learning when to stop taking things so personally. Nicole unpacks why it’s okay to change your mind, why you should be careful who you take advice from, and why the people who love you the most might unintentionally hold you back. She also dives into harder truths like accepting people for who they are (not who you wish they’d be), believing people when they show you who they are, and the uncomfortable but freeing reality that if they wanted to, they would. This episode is for the woman who feels like she’s at a crossroads — questioning her next move, rethinking old beliefs, or quietly craving a different version of life but unsure where to start. Topics covered: Rebranding and romanticizing your life at any ageWhy changing your mind is a sign of growth, not weaknessHow indecision keeps you stuck — and how to break freeWho not to take advice from (and why it matters)When love turns into protection that limits youAccepting people for who they are — without self-betrayal“When someone shows you who they are, believe them”Why actions always matter more than wordsThe truth behind “if they wanted to, they would”How taking nothing personal can radically change your peaceIf this episode hits home, Nicole invites you to reflect: Which one are you currently working on — and which one do you need to hear again?

    Better Sex Starts With Feeling Safe in Your Body

    In this powerful, permission-giving conversation, Nicole Johnson sits down with Darshana Avila, a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and sexological bodyworker, to explore what it really means to feel at home in your body—and why that’s the foundation for pleasure, intimacy, and true personal power. Darshana shares her own journey from “checking all the boxes” of a successful life (corporate career, marriage, doing everything “right”) to realizing it still felt empty—and how a spiritual and sexual awakening led her into her work today. Together, Nicole and Darshana unpack erotic wholeness—not as a synonym for sex, but as life force energy: vitality, creativity, authenticity, and the ability to feel fully alive. You’ll learn why most people aren’t “bad at sex”—they’re operating from cultural conditioning, nervous system shutdown, and a lack of language for what they actually want. Darshana explains how to start small: nervous system regulation, body awareness, boundaries, consent, and building a vocabulary for touch—so intimacy can become connected, playful, and nourishing (not performative or routine). If you’ve ever wondered, “What do I even want?”—in your relationships, your life, or your body—this episode will meet you right there. In this episode, we cover: What sexological bodywork is (and why it’s different)Why nervous system regulation is the key to pleasure and desireThe real meaning of eroticism as creativity, vitality, and powerHow cultural scripts impact women’s intimacy and arousalWhy intimacy and attunement matter more than “performance”Simple ways to explore preferences when you “don’t know what you like”How to talk to your partner about wanting something different—without blameWhy fantasies don’t define you (and how to release shame) Resources Mentioned: Follow Darshan on Insta HERE Check out her YouTube HERE View her website HERE Listen to her podcast HERE Freebie HERE

    Romanticize Your Life: The Practice of Being Present

    This week, we’re redefining what yoga actually is — and spoiler: it’s not about being bendy, performing perfect poses, or comparing yourself to the girl in the front row. Nicole is joined by Veronique Ory, yoga teacher and retreat leader, for a conversation that feels like a deep exhale. We talk about the real work: the mindset shift that happens when you stop chasing the next milestone and start building a life that feels calm, grounded, and aligned right now. Veronique breaks down how the practice follows you everywhere — into your relationships, your routines, your home, your closet, your nervous system, and the way you move through grief, stress, and busyness. If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, on autopilot, or like you’re constantly reaching for “more,” this episode is your reminder that your life can be softer without being smaller. You’ll leave with practical ways to identify how you actually want to feel, how to disrupt default habits (hello, scrolling), and how to resource yourself before you give your energy to anyone else. Because the goal isn’t to be perfect.It’s to be present. Resources mentioned: Follow Veronique on Insta HERE: Check out her website HERE

    Chronic Inflammation Symptoms You’re Ignoring (and What To Do About It)

    In this episode of The Wellthy Healthy Life, Nicole Johnson welcomes back Dr. Shivani Gupta, Ayurvedic medicine expert, founder of Fusionary Formulas, and author of The Inflammation Code, for a powerful conversation on what chronic inflammation actually looks like—and how to start lowering it with simple, doable shifts. Dr. Gupta breaks down why inflammation is a root cause behind so many midlife symptoms we often dismiss as “just getting older,” including joint pain, stubborn weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues (like IBS symptoms), insulin resistance, high cholesterol, and bloodwork trending in the wrong direction. Together, Nicole and Dr. Gupta discuss why women are especially impacted—pointing to the mental load, chronic stress, perfectionism, and constantly putting ourselves last—and Dr. Gupta introduces the concept of “mental inflammation,” the hidden stress pattern that keeps many women inflamed even when they’re “doing all the right things.” You’ll also learn how Ayurveda offers an anti-inflammatory lifestyle blueprint built around bite-sized self-care, not unrealistic routines. Dr. Gupta shares practical tools you can start immediately, including: Gut “digestive fire” and why gut health drives immunity, mood, metabolism, and inflammationSimple morning rituals like tongue scraping (a low-cost, high-impact habit)Oil pulling for oral microbiome support and better digestionWhy lunch is the most important meal for nutrient absorption (according to circadian rhythm)How to adjust dinner timing and choices to support better sleep and inflammation recoveryThe Ayurvedic sleep window—why 10pm–2am matters so much for the body’s nightly “clean-up” of inflammationPlus, Dr. Gupta dives into her research on turmeric/curcumin and why it remains one of the most trusted natural options for inflammation support—especially when used correctly for absorption. If you’ve been feeling “off,” inflamed, or like your body is aging faster than it should, this episode will help you connect the dots and create a simple plan to start feeling like yourself again—without overcomplicating your health.

    No One Asked But… Are You a Girl’s Girl? Women Supporting Women

    In this candid solo episode of The Wellthy Healthy Life, host Nicole Johnson shares two powerful conversations every woman needs to hear: what it truly means to be a “girl’s girl” — and why honest dialogue around motherhood matters more than ever. Nicole opens with an unfiltered reflection on women supporting women (or not). She explores the difference between community-minded friendships and competitive energy, how insecurity can quietly shape our relationships, and why being generous with support, resources, and encouragement ultimately elevates everyone. From real-life examples of women lifting each other up to the impact of social media criticism, this is a thoughtful take on confidence, comparison, and choosing better energy. The episode then pivots into a heartfelt reflection inspired by her recent guest conversation about motherhood. Nicole speaks openly about the identity shift that comes with becoming a mom, the emotional and physical toll no one talks about enough, and the importance of normalizing hard conversations so women feel less alone. She discusses partnership dynamics, communication with your spouse, asking for support without guilt, and why preserving your identity beyond motherhood is not selfish — it’s essential. This episode is for women who value honesty over perfection, connection over comparison, and growth over performance. In this episode, Nicole covers: What it really means to be a “girl’s girl”Why women supporting women changes everythingJealousy, comparison, and social media criticismThe emotional realities of motherhoodIdentity loss and finding yourself againMental load, partnership, and communicationWhy martyrdom isn’t healthy for moms (or kids)Giving yourself permission to take up spaceIf this episode resonates, share it with a friend who needs the reminder that she’s not alone — and that there is room for all of us to thrive.

    You’re Not Broken — Motherhood Is Just Hard

    Motherhood can be beautiful and brutal — and in this episode of The Wellthy Healthy Life, host Nicole Johnson gets real with author and mom of two Cindy Woulfe, about the identity shift so many women experience after becoming a mom… and the guilt that comes with admitting it’s hard. Cindy, author of In the Weeds: A Guide to Saving Your Soul on This Crazy Journey Called Motherhood, shares the moment she realized she felt lost even though she had everything she thought she wanted: a healthy baby, the ability to stay home, and a life she was “supposed” to be grateful for. Together, Nicole and Cindy talk about maternal mental health, mom burnout, postpartum emotions, and why so many mothers silently struggle with feeling alone, overwhelmed, and unsure of who they are beyond the title of “mom.” This conversation is for you if you’ve ever thought: “Why doesn’t anyone talk about how hard this is?” “I love my kids, but I feel exhausted and disconnected from myself.” “My partner’s life didn’t change like mine did.” “I need support, but I don’t even know what to ask for.” Nicole and Cindy dive into: Mom identity loss and the “who am I now?” crisis that can happen early or later in motherhood Why women often carry the emotional load and become the “mood” of the household How to ask for help clearly (without resentment) and communicate needs in marriage/partnership Practical tools for self-care that actually work: journaling, meditation, quiet time, nervous system regulation, and self-compassion Letting go of mom guilt, perfectionism, and the pressure to look like you have it all together How social media comparison makes parenting harder — and how to “stay on your own mat” Handling tantrums and public meltdowns without absorbing judgment from others The mindset shift from “I have to” to “I get to” — and why it changes your day-to-day experience Cindy also shares where to find her book and why the included journal prompts can help moms reconnect with themselves and start taking care of their mental and emotional wellbeing again — without shame. If you’re navigating new motherhood, working motherhood, stay-at-home mom life, or just feeling stretched thin, this episode will remind you: struggling doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong — it means you’re human. And you have permission to take care of yourself. Follow The Wellthy Healthy Life for more conversations on women’s wellness, motherhood, mindset, confidence, and your next era.

    No One Asked But… Women Need to Stop Playing Small & Why Quitting is Okay

    In this solo No One Asked But… episode, Nicole gets real about the thoughts that have been sitting in her Notes app — the ones she couldn’t not say out loud. She dives into a powerful truth most women need to hear: if we had even half the confidence many men walk around with, we’d be unstoppable. From imposter syndrome and underestimating our own expertise, to navigating corporate spaces and owning your voice, Nicole offers an honest (and empowering) perspective on why it’s time for women to stop second-guessing themselves. She also challenges the idea that quitting is always a weakness. Whether it’s a job, relationship, commitment, or even a belief you’ve outgrown — sometimes quitting is actually the bravest, most aligned decision you can make. Building on this week’s guest episode about nervous system regulation, Nicole explores how slowing down, tuning into your body, and reconnecting with your intuition can help you make better decisions, protect your energy, and stop living in constant reactivity. From grounding practices to the importance of being responsive instead of reactive, this episode is a reminder that peace, clarity, and confidence are skills you can build. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or doubting your next move — this one’s for you.
