ep 21 - The Power of Showing Up (Even When It’s Messy)

from Nancy and Nicole: Real Life, Real Talk · host Nancy Chapin & Nicole Mangina

We thought this was going to be a simple conversation about “the power of showing up.”It wasn’t.What started as a straightforward idea turned into something a lot more honest—about the different ways we show up (or don’t), the stories we tell ourselves, and what it actually takes to be present in our lives and relationships.Nicole shares a deeply personal experience of showing up at the end of her mom’s life—and the unexpected gifts that came from it.We also explore the quieter, everyday moments:showing up in conversations, in relationships, and even when we don’t feel like ourselves.It’s a little messy. A little uncomfortable. And very real.And maybe that’s the whole point.
