By Nikole / August 13, 2018 /

By Nikole / July 23, 2018 /

Going after your dreams, living a life that is authentic to you, can be a scary thing. If you read my “When You Say Yes To Yourself” blog post from a few weeks ago, you’ll know that I was nervous, nauseous and a ball of nerves when I came out…

By Nikole / July 2, 2018 /

By Nikole / May 12, 2018 /

I was looking through a note I wrote myself back in November 2017. At that point in my life, I was hungering for some major shifts/change in my life. I had read a book that lit a fire under me, and I knew I would need support in order to…

With Prince, All Things Are Possible

By Nikole / April 24, 2018 /

Growing up in conservative evangelical circles, I didn’t listen to ‘secular’ music much. As a result, I was never really exposed to Prince’s music. So when he died in April of 2016, I didn’t feel anything – no sadness, no grief, no shock, nothing. Because he was just some random…
