Independent Woman with Apple Cider (feat. Nicoline – Part 1)

In this episode, I sit down with the amazing Nicoline, who packed up her life and moved to Japan—without knowing the language! From accidentally buying the wrong rice to navigating cultural differences in business, she shares the hilarious and eye-opening moments of adjusting to life abroad. We also get into the challenges she faced in 2020 was supposed to be her year (hello, Olympics boost!), but instead, COVID turned everything upside down. On top of that, she had to cope with the heartbreaking loss of both parents and the emotional rollercoaster of her daughter moving in with her dad. Therapy became a lifeline, and she opens up about what it took to find herself again. Oh, and unlike my usual wine chats, this time I sipped on apple cider while she had a Coke. because why not keep things cozy? Nicoline is such a kind and inspiring person, and I know you'll love this conversation as much as I did! Tune in for laughs, real talk, and a journey of resilience.
