    207. I said I was dancing with grief and the universe delivered

    Hey everyone, grief journey update ahead. The last episode dropped on September 5th, a Thursday, and the feedback I got really warmed my heart. Some of you shared kind words, and it felt good to know my vulnerability resonated with you, especially when it comes to grief. But, honestly? I’ve been dragging my feet about recording again. Maybe it was a vulnerability hangover, or maybe I just needed some time. When we left off last episode, I was talking about how I was dancing with my grief. Well, let me tell you how the universe delivered. On September 6th, the day after sharing the most recent episode, my dad had a birthday party in his building—music, champagne, dancing, the works. When I walked in, he was already in his element, dancing and having a great time. It was beautiful to see him enjoying himself, but when he noticed me and gestured for me to join him, I was hit with a wave of overwhelming emotion. The last time I had danced with my dad was at my wedding in 2015, nine years ago. The emotions hit me like a bag of bricks. I suddenly felt like I couldn’t handle it. I considered passing on the offer because I was afraid of losing my composure. But then I gave myself a quick pep talk, “Get it together! You’re not going to miss this chance.” So, I went out there, and I’m not gonna lie—I lost it. I ugly cried right in front of everyone. Talk about a vulnerability moment! I know I’ve said that crying is healthy, and it is, but doing it in front of a room full of people is a whole different ball game. It felt like the universe was reminding me, “Hey, you said you wanted to dance with your grief. So here you go.” And that’s exactly what I did. I ugly cried and danced with my dad for the first half of the song, and it was intense. I realized that I was not just dancing with my grief, but also with my dad’s grief—his loss of my mom, the love of his life, despite how many years it had been since they were together. Sometimes I get so caught up in my own grief that I forget he’s grieving too. He’s been dealing with this since April, and it hit me that we were both in this dance together. I felt it was important to share this moment because I needed a bridge to move forward from our last conversation. I hope this resonates with some of you who might also need that transition. It’s okay to feel sad, to be vulnerable, and to express those feelings—especially in a world that often tells us otherwise. So, as you listen, remember it’s okay to dance with your grief, to cry when you need to, and to pep talk yourself into facing those tough emotions. Here’s to a week of honoring our feelings—whatever they may be. xo

    206. Does she have it all together? Or has she built up her emotional intelligence?

    In this episode, we’ll dive into a topic that’s been relevant for me lately: processing and embracing emotions, including grief. Here’s a look at what you’ll hear in the episode: Not a Therapist: Just to be clear, I’m not a doctor or a therapist. But over the past eight years, especially since I was pregnant with my second child, I’ve worked hard to build my emotional intelligence and learn to recognize and process my feelings. Crying as a Tool: I want to talk about crying—something that makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Personally, I cry almost every day, and I’ve come to see it as a valuable way to process emotions. Old Emotions: I’m still working on clearing out emotions I’ve been holding onto for over 30 years. It’s been a long journey, but one that I’ve learned so much from. Finding Safe Spaces: It’s crucial to find spaces where I feel comfortable expressing my emotions. These safe spaces are defined by trust and the ability to hold my feelings without judgment. Safe Spaces Defined: For me, safe spaces aren’t just physical places but are defined by the trust and emotional capacity of the people around me. Emotional Capacity: Not everyone has the emotional bandwidth to support others’ emotions. I’ve learned that it’s okay to ask if someone has the capacity to listen before sharing my feelings. Parenting Through Grief: I’ve learned to model healthy emotional expression for my children, showing them that it’s okay to cry and talk about our feelings openly. Teaching Through Example: By sharing my emotions with my kids, I aim to teach them how to handle their own grief and feelings in a healthy way. Experiencing Joy: It’s been challenging but essential for me to allow myself to feel joy even when I’m grieving. I’ve learned that both joy and sadness can coexist. Finding Beauty in the Storm: Embracing both sadness and joy, and recognizing the beauty in difficult times, helps me find balance and healing. Thank you for tuning in, friend. I hope this episode helps you navigate your own emotional landscape with greater ease, flow, and compassion. xo

    205. Opening Energetic Doors: A Guided Meditation Gift for New Beginnings

    Welcome back to The Nicole Joy Show… In this deeply personal episode, I’m opening up about some significant changes in my life and how they’ve reshaped my work and identity. After the unexpected loss of my mother in April, I’ve been on a profound journey of grief and transformation, and I want to begin to share these experiences with you. Here’s what you’ll find in this episode: Navigating Grief & Loss: I introduce the impact of losing my mother and the challenges of guiding my children through their own grief, while managing my father’s health issues. It’s been a very full time, but it’s also led to some powerful reflections. Shifting Identities and Professional Focus: I’ve come to realize that my old identity as a content creator no longer fits. Instead, I’m embracing a new approach that aligns more with my authentic self.  Embracing Authenticity: This episode dives into how I’m focusing on sharing my genuine self and experiences, rather than sticking to a traditional content creation model.  Guided Meditation: I’m also sharing a gift with you - a special guided meditation to help you open your own energetic doors and explore what lies beyond them. How to Connect: Social Media: www.instagram.com/nichole_joy__ Website: www.nicholejoy.com Upcoming Book: Stay tuned for more details about my book, which will delve into my experiences with my mother and our healing journey. Your Feedback: I’d love to hear about your experience with the meditation and any insights you had. Your feedback means a lot to me, truly. Thank you for tuning in. I’m grateful to have you on this journey with me, and I hope this episode brings you comfort and inspiration. Xoxo, Nichole Joy

    203. The one time you should stay in your own lane

    In this episode, let’s go deeper into the concept of "staying in your own lane," building on last week's discussion about its potential harm when imposed on others. We’ll explore the nuanced perspective of when it's appropriate to embrace this mentality, particularly in the context of personal growth and innovation. Nuanced Perspective: I acknowledge the gray areas, recognizing both the dangers of projecting "stay in your own lane" onto others and its value in fostering authenticity and innovation. It's crucial to resist blindly conforming to industry norms while carving out our own paths authentically, especially when we see alternative, more efficient approaches. Examples and Insights: Drawing from my time in the doula industry, I illustrate the importance of courage and innovation in breaking away from conventional practices. From there, I expand the discussion to motherhood, where societal expectations often butt heads with our own unique needs. Goal: flex your discernment and create your own realities. Navigating Industries: I share personal reflections on removing myself from toxic environments and cultivating a tailored approach to business and life, particularly along my entrepreneurial journey. Heavy on maintaining focus amidst industry noise and controversies, and staying true to our missions and values.
