Send us your feedback about the episode!Have you ever felt caught somewhere between the person you used to be and the person you're becoming?You're not unhappy. You don't necessarily want your old life back. But something feels unsettled. You're craving growth, change and a new version of yourself and at the same time, parts of your old identity are surprisingly hard to let go of.In this episode of Beauty Behind the Brand, Nicole gets personal about the identity shifts that have come with motherhood, selling the business she built for over a decade, stepping into a different season of entrepreneurship and figuring out what she actually wants her life to look like next.She talks about why missing your old life doesn't necessarily mean you want it back, how certain clothes, routines, careers and relationships can become attached to versions of ourselves, and why becoming the “next version” of you shouldn't mean copying whatever social media says your glow-up is supposed to look like.Nicole also opens up about a previous season of entrepreneurship when, despite appearing successful from the outside, anxiety was impacting everyday parts of her life and some of the habits that helped her reconnect with herself, including movement, visualization, slowing down and creating space to think.From motherhood and business to friendships, routines, hobbies, confidence and redefining success, this episode is about learning to honour who you've been without feeling obligated to stay there.You don't need to completely reinvent yourself overnight.Maybe you're not stuck.Maybe you're simply in the space between who you were and who you're becoming.And maybe the goal isn't to get the old you back at all.Maybe it's giving yourself enough space to meet the new version of you.
