from Nancy and Nicole: Real Life, Real Talk · host Nancy Chapin & Nicole Mangina
Nancy and Nicole get real about the holidays—expectations, blended families, grief, boundaries, “experiences vs. stuff,” and what it means to move through a tender season with more honesty and compassion. They talk about mismatched holiday traditions, grown kids and shifting plans, decorating disappointments, what happens when you bulldoze your vision onto everyone else, and how to show up with more communication and care. If this time of year feels tender, complicated, or just a lot, this conversation will make you feel less alone.Follow along: • Nancy on Instagram: @nancy.chapin.seattle• Nicole on Instagram: @nicole_manginaLet us know if you want to join our joint email list to keep up with upcoming events.• Watch episodes on YouTube: – Nancy’s channel: https://www.youtube.com/@nancy.chapin– Nicole’s channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NicoleManginaWork with us / Connect: • Nancy — Real Estate & Speaking: https://www.nancychapinspeaks.com • Nicole — Coaching & Real Estate: https://successperspective.comThanks for listening.
