    By Design

    Episode 8 is a deep dive into the realm of Human Design. The themes that are covered include: Energy Types, Authority, Profile, Environment and Deconditioning. Learning that she is a Projector changed everything for Nicole. Finally it made sense why she was experiencing burn out in her corporate careers and struggled with worthiness and feeling enough. Looking back on how she struggled with confidence and bitterness in the workplace helped her to realize she was always chasing success in how it was defined in a Generator world, not how she was designed to thrive. In 2025 Nicole joined an extraordinary coaching container led by Sara Miller from @projectorsonpurpose where she got to dive deeper into her design and begin her journey of deconditioning.

    The System Is Broken

    In Episode 7 Nicole goes in for a deep dive on the state of our Food System and it's connection to human health. This has been a passion of hers since learning about the intersection of Food & Sustainability during her time studying at Le Cordon Bleu in London. Nicole hopes that drawing connections to her own food intolerances to the state of the food system in the United States will create a call to action for more education, empowerment and behavioral changes among consumers. We explore the topics of: -USDA Organic Certification -How to shop for eggs -What is the difference between Farm Raised and Wild Caught Seafood -Why people who are intolerant to gluten and dairy in the United States feel completely fine eating pizza, pasta, & cheese in Italy. -Why supporting local and organic is best for your health, but it's not financially available to all and is not possible to rely on to feed a growing global population as the system stands Below are a list of resources to fuel your curiosity and to site the facts and data shared within this episode.

    Perspective

    In Episode 6 Nicole discloses her history and experience with anxiety and how it was rooted in her childhood experiences. Travel always stretched her mind and allowed her to gain new perspectives, by shifting out of uncomfortable and repetitive states. It was one particular trip to Myanmar that gave her the most perspective on how different life could really be. As with most trips, the biggest reflections were gained from a perspective of growth and how to navigate challenging situations by learning to change the narrative and where we allow our minds to fixate. For those interested in reading the book: Guided, as referenced in this episode. Feel free to view it on Amazon here. Follow & donate to World Central Kitchen for the work they've done to support the Burmese people following the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that hit Myanmar back in March 2025. Follow along on my personal Instagram page @nicnac_ro. Photos from the Myanmar trip can be found in her story highlights as well. Song #96028 / Here We Go feat.

    Written in the Stars

    Episode 5 touches upon the idea of a spiritual awakening and how from the beginning of her health journey, Nicole always felt like she was going through it for a reason. Before her official awakening began, Nicole was introduced to the spiritual and occult worlds through a reading with a Medium and a virtual Vedic Astrology reading. Astrology has been the most profound tool that Nicole has turned to, to give meaning to the challenges she was experiencing and the direction her life was taking her. She shares some examples of what she learned about herself from studying her own birth chart, as well as from a reading with an astrocartographer. The astrologers who Nicole would like to credit for their readings, teachings and wisdom are as follows. They have been her teachers and biggest influences in her astrological studies thus far.

    Chronic Chaos

    Episode 4 continues with Nicole's story into what life post Tarlov Cyst Disease diagnosis looked like. Trying to fix one issue only happened to cause more until she finally had to learn the ultimate lesson. Nicole's journey led her to working with all different types of practitioners and healers, but without acknowledging her nervous system she was only making matters worse. Despite having to navigate a very challenging disease, Nicole knows she was meant to learn how to truly listen to her body. The way she is able to receive information and guidance from within is a gift she gained along the way and plans to use in all areas of her life going forward. For those sensitive to discussions regarding vaccinations this is something that is addressed in this episode. However, the purpose of this conversation is to share a story of how Nicole learned to listen to the language of her body. Here's the link to the Private Facebook group mentioned for those navigating their own journey with Tarlov Cyst Disease: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cystersandmysters/ It's one of the best resources that Nicole has come across and recommends it to anyone trying to understand their diagnosis. There are nearly 10,000 members to date. Link to Tush-Cush Orthopedic Seat Cushion https://tushcush.com/ Follow along on my personal Instagram page @nicnac_ro Song #96028 / Here We Go feat.

    Where It All Began

    In Episode 3: Where It All Began Nicole shares her experience navigating a transition from working in Marketing Research in Sydney, Australia that led her to enrolling in culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu in London. While in London she suffered an injury that later led to a shocking diagnosis of a rare disease, known as a Tarlov Cyst. Tarlov Cysts are perineural cysts that in her case sits within her sacrum, encompassing and pressing on her nerve endings. Only 5% of cysts are considered symptomatic. The road to diagnosis lasted roughly 5 months. This is the story of where it all began. Follow along on my personal Instagram page @nicnac_ro Song #96028 / Here We Go feat.

    A Love Letter to Bondi

    In light of the recent terrorist attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Nicole shares her experience processing her emotions having just left Sydney the day before the shooting took place. This podcast was recorded after Episode 1 (An Intro) and Episode 3 (Where It All Began). They were already published in the queue before the tragic events on December 14th, 2025 took place. Occurring too close to home, she sees this as a wake up call and urges humanity to start behaving differently. We are all responsible for creating a new world and there are things we can do individually to change the collective narrative. Sending love to Bondi Beach, to Australia and to all of those impacted by the devastating events that took place on the first night of Hannukah 2025.
