Looking forward to the upcoming astrology with Uranus leaving Taurus and moving into Gemini for the next 7 ish years, Nicole speaks to some of the themes already coming up as they'll relate to her 7th house of relationships and partnerships.

Nicole's birthday arrives three days after this transit takes place, and it has been a profound time of reflecting on where she thought she'd be by this particular birthday.

This is a personal episode, where Nicole gives her inner world the microphone and uses astrology to help make sense of the whys. This episode is dedicated to those with the desire to want something more for themselves and the courage to do something about it.

In this episode, Nicole shares her experience navigating the transition into entrepreneurship and how her body wasn’t ready to hold the type of changes, work and moves she was setting out to achieve. The intention behind those actions was fueled by the pressure she’s always felt to do more to prove her worth. The shift has been in slowing down and actively choosing less in order to show up in a way that’s sustainable, rather than leading to a pattern that inevitably ends in burnout and overwhelm.

They speak to wellness as an industry that’s designed to keep you doing more. But as a byproduct of cultivating a relationship where we begin to listen to our bodies we can discern what’s a fit for us, what is safe to do less of or even remove altogether.

If you’re someone who has perfectionist tendencies, experienced burnout, is curious about the nervous system & somatic work, or can resonate with the chronic health journey- then this episode is for you!

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.

This is a great place to start if you're curious about Human Design and are wondering where to begin.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
