In this raw and deeply resonant episode of Midlife Moxie, Nicole dismantles the myth that putting yourself first is selfish. Speaking directly to high-functioning, overextended women in midlife, she explores the emotional and nervous system toll of staying silent, being the reliable one, and sacrificing joy to keep the peace.
Through personal reflection and a powerful client story, this episode guides you to question the cost of people-pleasing and the quiet erosion of your sense of self. Nicole doesn’t just offer permission — she demands that you write your own.
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wondered where you went… this one’s for you.
