  1. You can do hard things

    You can do hard things

    “You can do hard things.” For over a year, that was the mantra Nicole repeated to herself every morning before getting out of bed—and recently, she’s found herself coming back to it again. In this episode of The Bestie Space, we talk about what real strength actually looks like: allowing yourself to break down, asking for help, healing from toxic relationships, and learning that you do not have to carry everything alone. Because sometimes the breakdown comes right before the breakthrough. If you’ve been exhausted from being “the strong one,” this episode is for you. 💛 Send me a text 🌺 ✨ Let’s stay connected, Bestie!  ➡️ Explore more breakthroughs, guides, and resources at https://stan.store/NicoleLBestie  ➡️ Come hang out with me on Instagram for daily Coffee & Gratitude moments @coffee_n_gratitude 💖 If you loved this episode, hit follow on the podcast and share it with a bestie who needs a reminder that she’s not alone.

    The Invisible Weight: Co-Parenting, Narcissism & Healing at the Same Time

    There’s a kind of exhaustion no one talks about… The mental load of worrying about your kids when they’re with a narcissistic co-parent. The constant overthinking, the emotional restraint, and the invisible work of staying calm through it all. In this episode, we’re talking about the reality of holding it together—managing communication through grey rock, protecting your peace while still co-parenting, and trying to heal from past abuse while still being connected to it. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t get a break—even when your kids aren’t with you—this episode is for you. You’re not overreacting. You’re carrying a lot. And you’re not alone 🤍 Send me a text 🌺 ✨ Let’s stay connected, Bestie!  ➡️ Explore more breakthroughs, guides, and resources at https://stan.store/NicoleLBestie  ➡️ Come hang out with me on Instagram for daily Coffee & Gratitude moments @coffee_n_gratitude 💖 If you loved this episode, hit follow on the podcast and share it with a bestie who needs a reminder that she’s not alone.

    Letting Go of Who You Had to Be

    When a relationship ends or your career changes… it’s not just your life that shifts—it’s your identity. In this episode of The Bestie Space, Nicole explores the quiet, often overlooked part of transformation: letting go of the version of yourself you had to become to survive. Because that version of you? She was necessary. She was strong. She got you through. But she may not be who you’re meant to be moving forward. In this episode, we talk about: The identity tied to relationships and careersWhy letting go can feel like griefThe difference between survival roles and your true selfHow to begin releasing what no longer serves you💛 Bestie Reflection: Where in your life are you still being who you had to be… instead of who you want to be?

    The Strong Woman Trap

    “You’re so strong.” It sounds like a compliment… but what if it’s also the reason you feel like you have to hold everything together? In this episode of The Bestie Space, Nicole dives into what it really means to be “the strong one”—and the hidden pressure, exhaustion, and identity that can come with it. Because somewhere along the way, strength can stop feeling empowering… and start feeling like something you can’t put down. In this episode, we explore: How being “the strong one” can quietly become your identityThe emotional cost of always holding it all togetherWhy it can feel so hard to ask for help or receive supportWhat real strength actually looks like (and it might surprise you)If you’ve ever felt like you’re the one everyone depends on… but no one really checks in on… This episode is for you. 💛 Bestie Challenge: Where in your life are you still holding everything… because you don’t trust that someone else will?

    How do you start becoming the real you?

    Last episode, we asked the question: Who are you… really? But what happens after that moment— when you realize you’ve been living in roles… and you’re not quite sure who you are without them? In this episode of The Bestie Space, Nicole walks you through what it actually looks like to begin becoming the version of yourself you’ve been craving—the one who feels more peaceful, confident, and fully aligned. This is the in-between season. And you’re not alone in it. Inside this episode, you’ll learn how to: Recognize where you’re still defaulting to old survival patternsUse a simple but powerful question to guide your decisionsStart shifting your identity through small, daily choicesStop abandoning yourself in the moments that matter mostThis isn’t about becoming someone new overnight. It’s about learning how to choose yourself—one honest moment at a time. 💛 Bestie Challenge: Where in your life are you still choosing the version of you that survives… instead of the version of you that lives?

  7. The question you need to ask yourself... Who are you?

    Mar 20

    The question you need to ask yourself... Who are you?

    Who are you… really? Not the strong one. Not the dependable one. Not the version of you that learned how to hold everything together. In this episode of The Bestie Space, we’re going deeper than surface-level identity and asking the question so many of us avoid—especially after life changes like divorce, motherhood, or career shifts: Who am I when I’m not just surviving? Nicole walks you through a powerful, reflective exercise to help you: Identify the roles you’ve carried (and why you stepped into them)Separate survival-based identities from your true selfDefine the person you actually want to becomeBegin your own identity reset with clarity and intentionThis episode is for the woman who feels like she’s been everything for everyone else… and is finally ready to reconnect with herself. 💛 Bestie Challenge: “The world has known me as ______… but the woman I am becoming is ______.” If this resonates, share it with a friend who needs this reminder—you don’t have to figure this out alone.

  8. Allowing Good Things to Happen To You

    Allowing Good Things to Happen To You

    When you’ve lived in survival mode for a long time, “good” can feel unfamiliar… even unsafe. In this episode of The Bestie Space, we’re talking about why allowing good things to happen to you can feel harder than enduring hard things. We explore the identity shift from being “just a mom” or the strong one… to becoming a whole woman who is allowed to receive, rest, grow, and thrive. If you’ve ever downplayed your joy, sabotaged something healthy, or struggled to believe you deserve peace — this conversation is for you. Healing isn’t just about surviving.  It’s about learning to feel safe in good. 💗 Book your 1:1 Bestie Power Hour through the link in the show notes.
