We talk about marriage, career changes, self-trust, vulnerability, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the biggest thing standing between us and the life we want is our willingness to tell ourselves the truth.And whew... there were several moments in this conversation where I felt personally attacked in the best possible way.If you've ever found yourself wondering whether you're actually happy... if you're tired of performing, pushing, and proving... if you're standing at the edge of a major life transition and wondering what's next... this chat is for you. Connect with Yasmine:Grab the new book, The Comeback Era: https://yasminecheyenne.com/booksFollow Yasmine on IG at https://www.instagram.com/yasminecheyenneGrab Deesha Dyer's book here: https://www.deeshadyer.com/undiplomatic-the-bookConnect with Nicole:On her *new* Substack: https://nicolewaltersofficial.substack.com/On Threads: https://threads.net/nicolewaltersWATCH Tell Me More: http://nicolewalters.com/youtubeEpisode Sponsors:Explore viral bestsellers and products of healthier hair of ALL types from Bask and Lather.

I’m opening up about something I’ve honestly avoided talking about for a long time... parenting.A lot of people know me as a mom, but I’ve always been careful about giving parenting advice because let’s be real, everybody has opinions. And when you’re raising kids in the real world, through real circumstances, there is no perfect formula.We’re talking about what it means to parent with intention instead of performance, how to trust yourself when the internet has something to say about everything, and why sometimes the best parenting advice is knowing your family better than anyone else does.We Chat About:Why I’ve been hesitant to talk publicly about parenting until nowParenting with boundaries, discipline, and deep loveNavigating hard family seasons including divorce, health struggles, and recoveryWhat I’ve learned raising kids in different ages and life stagesIf you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing enough, doing it right, or just trying to survive the season you’re in, this chat is for you. Because the truth is, we’re all figuring it out. And sometimes the greatest gift we can give each other is honesty. Connect with Nicole:On her *new* Substack: https://nicolewaltersofficial.substack.com/On Threads: https://threads.net/nicolewaltersWATCH Tell Me More: http://nicolewalters.com/youtubeEpisode Sponsor:Ready to reach your goals?
