If you’ve been wondering who you are without your business, title, or busyness—this episode will hit home. 

In this first episode of 2025, I’m giving you the raw, real, and reflective update straight from the heart. After a couple of tumultuous years filled with physical healing, injury setbacks, and identity shake-ups, I’m sharing the truth about what it’s like to wonder if you’ll ever make it back to work—and what happens when you stop being defined by your job title. Spoiler: it’s confronting, but wildly freeing.

This chat is part pep talk, part soul search, and part kick-in-the-pants reminder that sometimes the breakdown has to come before the breakthrough. I talk about finding joy again, letting go of ego, and building something bold from the ashes—including finally making space for the speaking biz I've always wanted to unleash.

The April 2025 update

In this episode, I take you from the lash lounge to the supermarket meltdown aisle—and straight into a truth bomb about self-expression. While lying back getting my lashes done (and silently praying not to leave looking like a spider), I was jolted back to a memory of my daughter’s epic public tantrum. It got me thinking: when did we learn to care so much about what other people think? And more importantly—when did we start shrinking ourselves just to fit in?

Let’s get real: too many of us are holding back on sharing what we really think, what we really know, and what we actually want to say. This episode is a call to action to stop squashing your brilliance just to stay palatable. Whether it’s an opinion, a new idea, or that creative spark you've been hiding—say the damn thing. Because when you speak up, you give others permission to do the same… and that ripple? It changes everything.


Tantrums, Lashes & The Power of Speaking Up

In this episode, I’m tackling the question that’s got everyone clutching their ergonomic desk chairs: is AI going to make us redundant? Spoiler alert—only if you let it. I get into the guts of what’s really going on with AI across industries and why this moment is your cue to stop blending in and start standing out. Forget panic. This is about power, potential, and plugging into what makes you unforgettable.

I dish up some real talk on how AI can either be your excuse… or your amplifier. I’m calling BS on playing it safe and breaking down how to stay wildly relevant by owning your edge, showing up with swagger, and getting seriously skilled. If you’re ready to ditch the doom and channel your inner badass, this one’s for you.


The Truth About AI and Your Relevance

In this episode, I’m bringing you behind the scenes of life lately—between house moves, beach walks, gym catch-ups, and long-overdue lunches with girlfriends. It’s been a full-on season of transition, but also one rich with connection and unexpected inspiration. A busted-up unicorn shell on the sand sparked a big reminder for me: storytelling matters. Real, raw, grounded storytelling—not the polished, 15-second content that floods our feeds.

I’m diving into why I believe storytelling is still the most powerful tool we have for connection and impact. If you’ve been feeling stuck with your content or wondering how to show up in a more meaningful way, this is your nudge. Because transformation doesn’t come from more information—it comes from ignition. And that starts when we tell stories that actually mean something.

Beyond The Reels- Why Stories Still Matter

What do you actually do when sh*t hits the fan? In this episode, I’m getting brutally honest about those days (and sometimes weeks) when everything goes sideways, all at once. I walk you through a very real, very recent morning where my anxiety flared up, people problems piled on, and overwhelm threatened to knock me flat. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t pretty, but it was real.

You’ll join me on my daily walk through the Adelaide parklands (yes, I really do name the tracks I walk on) as I unpack how I navigate the tangled mess of stress, brain fog, and that all-too-familiar urge to freeze when things go haywire. I share exactly how I’ve learned to get myself unstuck: focusing on the smallest possible wins, sticking to my non-negotiables like walking and planning, and practicing a radical kind of self-kindness. I don’t sugarcoat it. Some days, my best is just ticking a single thing off my list. Honestly? That’s okay.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re drowning in chaos and can’t see the way out. I’ll show you the real tools and mindset shifts that help me reset, regroup, and keep moving forward, even when the energy and motivation just aren’t there. I’m also sharing my 90-day planner (the one thing that saves my sanity every single time) for free in the show notes. Listen in, grab your next best action, and let’s remember together: you don’t have to be perfect, you just have to keep going.

What do you do when shit hits the fan?

We’re all trying to stand out. Maybe you want a promotion. Maybe you want more clients. Maybe you just want to be recognised for who you really are. But most of us end up following the same script as everyone else, then wonder why we get lost in the crowd. In this episode, I get brutally honest about how to break that cycle and actually get noticed.

I talk about what it feels like to think you are nothing special. Maybe you come from a perceived vanilla background. Maybe you believe you do not have a big dramatic story. I share how every moment in your life, every skill you have, every quirk and random talent is exactly what makes you stand out. From performing as a kid, teaching in the cubby house, singing to crops, to always having something to say, it all counts.

If you have ever struggled with imposter syndrome or felt invisible, I show you how to claim your strengths, own your story, and see the value in your lived experience. You do not need to shrink yourself. You do not have to play it safe. You are the sum of every lesson, every decision, and every ounce of energy you bring. That is your point of difference.

Listen for a real permission slip to be yourself. Step up, own your space, and start doing what only you can do. Your people are out there and they are ready for you.

The Things That Make You Different

Have you ever looked back at an old photo or video and thought "Wow who even was that version of me?"  I’ve been sitting with that a lot lately and wondering can I really pull off this next big reinvention? 

In today’s episode of the podcast I’m pulling back the curtain on what it feels like when self doubt hits hard. Even when you’ve got the runs on the board. Even when you know your stuff.

If you’ve ever thought what if I can’t do this this one’s for you.

Self-Doubt & Reinvention What If I Can’t Do This

In this reflective episode, Nicola takes you on a literal and metaphorical detour straight back to her childhood home, where her biggest audience was a paddock full of waving crops. What started as a simple drive turned into a powerful reminder of how our perceptions shape our reality, how childhood dreams plant the seeds of purpose, and why joy matters more than we sometimes realise.

If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “Is this what I signed up for?” this one is for you.

Listen now to explore:

    * How our memories and reality don’t always line up (and why that’s okay)

    * Why joy is a non-negotiable when it comes to doing meaningful work

    * How to reconnect with what you really wanted before the world told you to tone it down

    A full-circle moment that proves those fence-post performances were never wasted

Memory Lane

You know that moment when something hits you like a freight train and you realise for a FACT that "this can’t go on"?

In this episode, I’m sharing a few of those moments. From avoiding an uncomfortable ask to calling out behaviour that crossed the line, and a brutal three-way mirror moment in a London changeroom that left me reeling (and ready to change everything).

These weren’t just bumps in the road. They were wake-up calls. And they became the exact fuel I needed to make bold, powerful decisions that shifted my everything.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign… this might be it.

The Time For Serious Change

Ever had a day where you were smashing through the to-do list, only to look up and realise you've completely skipped the one thing that keeps you grounded? Same. 

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal (and slightly chaotic) story about missing my morning walk, hyper-focusing on tasks, and realising I’d completely lost sight of the bigger picture.

From roller derby lessons to writing my own eulogy (yep, really), this is your invitation to stop staring at your feet and lift your gaze to where you’re actually heading in life and business. Because your feet already know what to do. It’s your vision that needs a check-in.

So... are you walking just to walk, or are you actually heading somewhere that matters?
