Nicole said yes.The result is one of the most powerful and courageous conversations on the podcast to date.If you’ve ever felt afraid to ask the hard questions or speak out loud what you know to be true, this episode will meet you with clarity, conviction, and compassion.Where to find Nicole Runyon: WebsiteFree to Fly bookWhere you can find me: Show notes: InstagramRead the blogShop my activity guides and free downloads
