Love Bravely EP. 9 - How to recognize and get over People Pleasing
People pleasing can look a lot like love, but underneath it is often fear. The fear of disappointing someone, being misunderstood, or losing connection. In this episode, we explore what people pleasing does to the soul and how constantly managing everyone else’s emotions can slowly disconnect us from ourself. We talk about learning to know yourself again, letting people be disappointed, telling the truth sooner, releasing responsibility for other people’s emotions, and choosing belonging over approval. Loving bravely doesn’t mean becoming who everyone else needs you to be. It means having the courage to show up as your whole, honest self, and trusting that those who are meant to be in your life can hold the truth.

Love Bravely EP. 9 - The Three Seasons of Growth and Healing
In this episode of Love Bravely, we talk about the three versions of ourselves we all move through in life and relationships:
The version of us that needed saving and awakening.
The version of us in the middle of healing and growth.
And the version of us trying to help others heal too.
We talk about fear, vulnerability, healing, self-awareness, and why growth can feel both beautiful and painful at the same time, but always always worth it. One of the biggest realizations from this conversation was that many people become passionate about helping others heal when they know what it feels like to hurt themselves. And the ones who make impact are those who chose to take that hurt and turn it into something beautiful. This episode is for the person who feels disconnected, exhausted, stuck in the middle of growth, or even the person carrying wisdom while still quietly struggling too.
You are not behind.
You are not broken.
You are becoming.
If this conversation resonates with you, share it with someone who may need it too.

Why growth feels so hard (and why it’s worth it)
Growth isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about getting curious enough to uncover what’s already within you. In this episode, we explore the idea that growth is a rhythm of both becoming and unbecoming—letting go of the beliefs, patterns, and stories that no longer serve us while stepping into what’s possible. We talk about why so many people resist growth (hint: it’s uncomfortable), how we’ve been conditioned to chase outcomes instead of embracing the journey, and why real transformation takes time. Nicolle shares a powerful and personal story about reconciling with her father before his passing, reminding us that even the hardest moments can open the door to deeper connection and healing. Growth is messy, painful, and often uncertain, but on the other side, it expands your capacity to experience more of life: more love, more joy, and more of what’s truly meant for you.

Love Bravely Ep. 6 - Candid Conversation With My Daughter Sydney
In this heartfelt episode of Love Bravely, I sit down with my oldest daughter, Sydney, for an honest and emotional conversation about what it was like growing up in a large family navigating wealth, close knit relationships and eventually divorce. Together, we reflect on the unique dynamics of our household, the lessons we’ve learned along the way, and the powerful realization that you don’t always have to be strong. Together we learned to let go and to be soft and show emotion. This genuine and lighthearted dialogue is filled with laughter, love, and moments that might just bring a tear to your eye. It’s a beautiful exchange between a mother and daughter who have not only grown together but have also become the best of friends.
