Redefining Motherhood with Nicole Weston

In this profoundly honest and deeply relatable episode, Nicole sits down with Karen to unpack the complexities of grieving a mother with whom they shared a loving—yet challenging—relationship. This is a conversation for every daughter who is navigating the duality of intense love and deep-seated trauma.Karen shares the story of her feisty Irish mother, Pat (Eithne), a woman who found 39 years of sobriety but never let go of the guilt she carried over her past struggles with alcoholism and depression. The two explore the painful journey of healing a fractured mother-daughter relationship, from the anger and lost trust of teenage years to the eventual reconciliation and fierce bond they forged before Pat's death.Nicole and Karen dive deep into:The Power of Acceptance: Moving past the desire for your mother to be who you wanted her to be, and instead finding peace by meeting her where she was.Understanding Trauma Bonds: An explanation of why the grief over a complicated relationship can feel so uniquely excruciating, amplifying childhood trauma and leaving you feeling "alone on an island".The Anger of Loss: Processing the intense anger that can arise when a parent is lost to an illness tied to choices they made, and the journey to forgiving yourself for being angry.Redefining Forgiveness: Karen's powerful perspective that freedom comes not necessarily through the social construct of "forgiveness," but through "reconciling" with what happened and refusing to let past actions impact your self-belief.Living in the Love Left Behind: How to find comfort and connection in a world that feels broken, channeling the life-long wisdom of a mother who taught that "We are in the grace and love of an unknown power".This episode is a must-listen for mothers who are doing the difficult work of unpacking generational trauma (even the "ugly feelings") and choosing to evolve through grief, rather than being diminished by it.If you've struggled to mourn a mother whose relationship was complicated, this episode offers a needed space of understanding, grace, and permission to feel it all.

EPISODE OVERVIEWThis episode is a masterclass in integration. Heather describes herself as a "well-integrated personal and professional human," a phrase that encapsulates the years of showing up for hard conversations, choosing love over being right, and allowing grief to evolve her. Heather began her heart-led journey 13 years ago, long before her parents became ill, because she wanted to show up better for her family. This early investment meant she could be present with her parents in their final years in a way that brings her deep peace. The conversation explores navigating profound ideological differences with her father, receiving her mother's hardest moments with compassion, grief as an ongoing practice, and the signs and symbols (owls, loons, music) that confirm love's continuation after death.WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODEHow Heather's heart-led journey started 13 years ago because she wanted to show up better for her family.The story of navigating a profound values divide with her father and the conscious choice she made to love him for who he was.The weekly dinner practice with her mother, and what it meant to show up with intention every single time, even when it was hard.The moment her mother called her a bully, and how she transformed that wound into wisdom.What it looked like to hold her mother's final weeks with grace while also having somewhere to release the pain.Why "I am her and she is me" is a lived experience of continuation.The snowy white owl that appeared in her Toronto backyard the day her mom passed, and the loon that visits the cottage dock.Music as a portal to grief, release, and connection, and how Heather uses it to find her footing.The difference between holding onto who you were before loss and allowing yourself to evolve into who you're becoming.Her book Living by Heart and the collaborative chapter she wrote about her journey with inner guidance.A MOMENT THAT WILL STAY WITH YOU"We are forever changed.

Nicole sits down with Miranda Malone, the dead mom therapist and founder of the Dead Mom Club, for a profound and unapologetic discussion on transforming early life loss into deep, soul-led purpose. Miranda shares her story of losing her mother, Rosalie Ann Malone, at just five months old, and how that early trauma imprinted an anxious attachment style on her nervous system. This conversation explores the power of grief rituals like ordering coffee in a lost loved one's name, why "dying doesn't make someone a saint", and the crucial work of re-parenting your inner child. Miranda and Nicole delve into spiritual concepts like soul contracts and predestiny, discussing how their mothers' passing paved the way for their current missions.Key Discussion Points:The Power of Ritual: Miranda's practice of connecting with her mother, Rosalie, through daily rituals like buying flowers for her vase and ordering coffee in her name.Anxious Attachment: How early loss can lead to developing an anxious attachment style, resulting in self-abandoning, overperforming behaviors in relationships, and imposter syndrome in business.Inner Child Tending: Reframing inner child work by meeting the needs of the child at the exact age the loss occurred (e.g., a five-month-old)The Dead Mom Club: An overview of the virtual community offering monthly Griever Circles, workshops, a private "Griever Lounge," and guest speakers for any woman who has lost her mother, regardless of the age of the daughter or the time of the lossResources:Register for Nicole's free Masterclass: She's Dead.

Kelsey's mom, Heather, was a gatherer of people. She watched the Food Network all day, wrote recipes on cards for friends and family, and never sat down at her own dinner party because she was too busy tending to everyone she loved. When Kelsey describes her mother, you can feel her mom flowing through her — in the way Kelsey gathers her community, loves her coffee, and shows up for the people around her.Kelsey lost her mom just over four years ago. About a year after, she felt an overwhelming pull toward motherhood — a pull she now believes was her mother's hand guiding her. Her son Freddy was born on Christmas Day, her mother's favorite holiday, and that timing cracked something open that had felt broken ever since her mom died.WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODEThe story of how Kelsey's son Freddy came into the world on Christmas Day — her mom's favorite holiday — and what that meant for healingWhat it felt like to be a motherless woman who also wasn't yet a mother, and how that quiet, dual identity created an internal darkness she hadn't expectedHer honest reflection on finding silver linings versus toxic positivity — and why searching for glimmers was the only thing that kept her goingHow her family each dealt with grief completely differently: her sister consumed by the past, her dad running toward the future, and Kelsey learning to live in the presentThe quote that changed everything: "When you're depressed, you live in the past. When you're anxious, you live in the future. But when you're at peace, you live in the present."How losing her mom shook Kelsey's belief that everything happens for a reason — and how she found her way back to that beliefWhat she has learned about love, expansion, and choosing to live with more of itA MOMENT THAT WILL STAY WITH YOU"I would do anything to have her back. But this is what it is — so how can we expand it into more?" Kelsey shows us that finding meaning in loss isn't about pretending loss is good. It's about refusing to let love stop growing.Resources:Save your spot for my free Masterclass: She's dead.

Nobody prepared you for this. Not the grief itself, and definitely not the impossible weight of trying to show up as a mother, a business owner, a partner — while silently carrying a loss that has no timeline and no rulebook.In this deeply personal solo episode, Nicole coaches her younger self through one of the most overlooked conversations in grief: how do we take care of ourselves when everything and everyone around us still needs us to show up?This episode introduces the ME First Framework — ME standing for Mental and Emotional — a compassionate, practical approach to understanding what you need, communicating it clearly, and giving yourself permission to be exactly where you are on this journey without shame.If you've ever felt like a fraud for struggling, judged yourself for not bouncing back faster, or said yes when everything in you was screaming no — this one is for you.In this episode, Nicole covers:Why grief feels like an invisible wound — and why the world doesn't give you space to heal itThe ME First Framework: what it is, why it matters, and how to start using it todayThe mindset shift from "I should be able to handle this" to compassionate permissionA step-by-step guide to setting boundaries from a place of love — not resentmentThe three questions to ask yourself before saying yes to anythingHow to communicate your capacity to the people who love you mostWhy boundaries always start with yourself firstHow to honor grief anniversaries, death anniversaries, and emotionally loaded seasons with intentionA reminder that your emotions do not define you — they are indicating what you need*Saying No: If you have difficulty saying no and someone is requesting something from you, typically your time, your energy or money, and you have a hard time saying no, I want you to ask yourself, am I saying yes because I fear the person's disapproval? If you answer yes, say no to the person's request.Ask yourself, am I doing this because I have a need for this person's approval? If the answer is yes, you must say no.Ask yourself, am I doing this because I genuinely want to, from the bottom of my heart? If yes, then say YES! A note for wherever you are on this journey: Whether you're in your first raw months of loss or years down the road still figuring out who you are now — this episode meets you where you are. There is no timeline. There is only the next step.Resources mentioned:Nicole's free Anger Workbook Guide: nicoleweston.ca/workbookBook a free 15-minute connection call: nhttps://nicoleweston.as.me/connectionConnect with Nicole:Instagram: @theNicoleWestonWebsite: www.nicoleweston.caIf this episode resonated: Subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a woman in your life who is trying to hold it all together while quietly grieving.

In this raw and necessary solo episode, Nicole unpacks the unique and complex grief of losing a mother during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a shared experience of loss where the inability to say goodbye, hold a hand, or gather for a funeral created profound, lasting impacts.1Nicole discusses the unexpected public scrutiny and judgment she faced after sharing a viral video about the guilt of how she spent her mother's last holiday. She shares why this experience highlights a critical need to change the narrative around grief and challenge societal expectations.Key Takeaways from This Episode:The Weight of Forced Isolation: Explore the impact of not having a choice in skipping the rituals of grief, like funerals and community support, and how that absence affects the grieving process.Guilt vs. Shame: Using the insights of Brene Brown, Nicole breaks down the difference between guilt ("I did something wrong") and shame ("I am wrong") and how this confusion can prevent self-care and interfere with moving forward.Your Emotions Are Information, Not Identity: Learn the transformative truth that your feelings do not define your worth or who you are. Your emotions are simply information letting you know what needs to be moved from your body.Moving Complex Emotions: Grief is experienced every day, across life's joys and challenges. Nicole shares her invitation to stop the opinions and "shoulds" and give yourself permission to feel and move anger, rage, and guilt to find self-love on the other side.Resources:Download the free Can't Call your mom Anger Workbook Guide to begin taking care of yourself and moving stuck emotions: nicoleweston.ca/workbook.1Connect with Nicole→  Book a free 15-minute connection call: https://nicoleweston.as.me/connection→  Join the Can't Call Your Mom community:https://www.instagram.com/channel/AbZEHq7v2zWhwJfc/→  Website: www.nicoleweston.ca→  Instagram:  @thenicolewestonPlease subscribe, leave a review, and share this with a woman in your life who is carrying this.

Tara carries compound grief, the loss of her daughter Harper followed just one year later by the loss of her mom, and she brings all of it into this space without apology. This is a conversation about what it looks like to grieve in layers, to numb and then finally feel, and to discover that joy and grief can exist in the very same moment.Tara shares how five years ago she quit drinking, and when the numbing stopped, the real healing could finally begin. She talks about the kitchen dance parties she had with her mom, and how On Fridays We Dance grew from a moment of silliness between friends into a deeply healing, community-building practice that has touched thousands of people.WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODETara's experience of compound grief — losing her daughter and her mom within a year of each otherHow she spent years in survival mode, pushing her grief down to hold her family togetherThe turning point that came five years ago when she stopped numbing and started truly feelingHow On Fridays We Dance was born from kitchen dance parties with her mom — and became a healing movementThe truth that grief is not linear — it comes in layers like an onion, and the body knows when you're ready for moreWhy joy and grief can live in the same hand at the same timeThe power of being witnessed — and why "I see you" can be the most healing words someone can sayHow her community on Instagram became a lifeline: "I don't feel so alone"A MOMENT THAT WILL STAY WITH YOU"Healing isn't about moving on.

It is a true one.In this episode:→ Why the anger after mom dies can be more shocking than the grief itself→ The shame spiral — being angry, then judging yourself for being angry→ Why anger in grief is actually your nervous system protecting you→ What happens when the anger has nowhere to go — and where it ends up instead→ Four rage rituals to move the anger through your body safely and with intention→ Why your emotions are not defining you — they are indicating what you need→ What lives on the other side of the anger when you finally let it moveFree Resource: Grab the WorkbookLet's move it: The Anger That Nobody Warned Me is Nicole's free guide to moving anger and rage out of the body — without judgment, without needing to have it all figured out, and without anyone else needing to hold it for you. Download it here: https://www.nicoleweston.ca/anger-guidebook Work with NicoleReady to stop managing the symptoms and get to the root?

Nobody warned you about the rage.Not the sadness — you expected that. But the anger? The kind that makes you look at a picture of your mom and say *fuck you for leaving me?* That part, nobody talks about.In this raw, honest solo episode, Nicole Weston opens up about the grief emotion she was least prepared for — the rage that followed her mom's death and refused to move no matter how many books she read, groups she joined, or therapy sessions she attended. Five years out, from a deeply integrated place, Nicole reflects on what that anger was really doing for her, why it's okay to be furious at someone you love who died, and what happens when your inner spark starts to go quiet.This episode gives you full permission to be exactly where you are — and offers real, practical tools for honoring your anger without letting it define you.There's not a lot of spaces where you can openly talk about how angry you are at your dead mom. I'm the one that's living. I'm the one going through the emotions.

You're the strong one. The capable one. The one everyone comes to. And when your mom dies, you expect yourself to handle it. After all, you handle everything.In this first guest episode of Can't Call Your Mom, Nicole sits down with Nikki, a fellow mom, entrepreneur, and motherless daughter who navigated two devastating losses in back-to-back years—her mom to dementia in 2019, and her brother the following year. What emerged from that season was a reckoning with anger, identity, the raw logistics of death, the darkness she never saw coming, and ultimately, a slow and honest return to herself.This conversation is raw, real, and full of the kind of moments that make you feel less alone at 2am.[03:15] The lesson Nikki's mom gave her without knowing it: do things scared. How a fearless-looking woman was actually afraid of everything—and pushed through anyway.[07:45] Losing her mom AND her brother in back-to-back years—and what it means to be in survival mode before you've even started grieving.[10:00] The business of death: the U-Haul, the executor duties, the selling of her mom's house—and why none of us are prepared for the logistics of loss.[13:20] The moment the anger hit: “Mom, you didn't teach me how to grieve. You didn't teach me how to do this part without you.”[18:30] How buying a horse became a return to herself—sitting in the field, a book in hand, six months to simply be sad.[24:50] The darkness nobody talks about: “I didn't know I was capable of having dark thoughts… and that was terrifying to me.”[32:20] The identity crisis of the strong woman who judges herself for struggling. The self-judgment. The anger turned inward.[40:00] Why there is no timeline for grief—and what Nikki's journey back to herself actually looked like (it took until 2025).[48:00] The moment her spark started coming back: glimmers, dark humor, and learning to use “nobody died today” as a barometer.Nicki is a women's self worth and freedom facilitator. She teaches women to put themselves first, especially after a major life event like loss or a divorce. She empowers women to be brave, break free from limiting beliefs, set healthy boundaries, and rediscover their worth.

Some episodes ask big questions. This one just slows everything down.Episode 2 of Can't Call Your Mom is a love note — to you, to your inner child, and to your mom. Nicole opens with something simple and profound: grief needs to be witnessed. Not fixed. Not rushed. Witnessed.In this softer, more intimate episode, Nicole shares the healing practice of expression — why saying the things out loud, in a journal, in a voice note, or to a trusted witness, is one of the most powerful tools we have on this grief journey. She also does something deeply vulnerable: she calls her mom. She leaves her a voicemail — live, unscripted, from the heart — and invites you to do the same.This episode is permission. Permission to slow down. To say the things you are still carrying. To let yourself be seen — not as someone who has it figured out, but as someone who loved deeply and is still loving through the loss.Why grief needs witnesses — not solutions — and how to ask for that from the people you trustThe power of expression: journaling, voice notes, and verbally processing your grief as a tool for healingNicole's story of standing in line at Life Labs alone during fertility testing — and the moment her mom's name was calledThe complicated experience of receiving signs from the other side — and why those moments can be both comforting and heartbreaking, especially in the early yearsNicole's live, unscripted voicemail to her mom — raw, real, and full of loveWhat it means to be a generational cycle breaker — and how grief is teaching her family to do love differentlyThe invitation: what do you need to say to your mom that you haven't yet?The closing reminder: you are not failing. Your heart is healing."Grief doesn't need an audience — but it does get lighter when we witness it and hold it together. Those two powerful words: me too. I feel that. You're not alone in this. That's when healing happens." — Nicole WestonIf there are things you wish you could still say to your mom, Nicole invites you to say them anyway. Write them in a journal. Record a voice note in your notes app. Say them out loud in the car. Let the words exist somewhere — because sometimes the most healing thing we can do is say them, even now.If you're open to sharing, send Nicole a voice note.

Today I am sharing one of the most popular episodes on my podcasts. The evolution of motherhood. Kelley and I dive into the evolving roles of motherhood and how mothers are essentially our first “life coach”. We talk about the importance of letting go of guilt and creating space for gentleness so we can ask for help and be fully present for our children. Kelley shares her story from the early days of being a mother and shares all the ‘realness'. Kelley believes her story can help redefine motherhood, “because it is all about how we can use our own inner healing as a pathway to motherhood. That we can allow ourselves to move through guilt, shame, insecurities by further exploring the roots of those challenges in a way that helps us heal them. I'm also very big on releasing the “right” and “wrong” of motherhood and to explore motherhood as everyone's “right” journey and that our children do indeed choose us as a way for us to move through our own Self and to become who our children need us to be for them and their healing. It is about releasing self judgement and moving to unconditional love.” Facebook: www.facebook.com/avalonempowerment Instagram: www.instagram.com/avalonempowerment Website: www.avalonempowerment.com Special book for listeners: www.evolvednlpbook.com Disclaimer: The information, opinions, recommendations and content presented in this podcast are for general information purposes only, and because each person is unique please consult your healthcare professional for any medical related questions.

In today's episode, I am sharing why you need to stop waiting for the Universe to go first and co-create with Universal energy instead. Have you heard these phrases? “It wasn't meant to be, I'll just wait to see what the Universe thinks is best, or I will just go with the flow”. I call this bypassing and today I am diving deep into the world of surrender and how you can surrender in your power versus your powerlessness. There is a significant difference in the energetic frequency of surrendering when you are co-creating versus afraid to make the wrong decision. I am breaking it all down today for you so you can begin practicing in your full alignment and power and live life on your terms.

Do you remember your first heartbreak? I do! And If it wasn't for that heartbreak I am confident I wouldn't be here right now. It was because of that moment when I was searching for love, approval and my worthiness that I picked up the call from the Universe. You see I was destined to never love myself. Loving myself wasn't in the generational code of women before me. I'm going to share all of this with you today.

If you have been stuck in your manifestation, this might be the problem. Ok so hear me out! I love being a spiritual badass and ‘surrendering' BUT I think we can lose our power in the act of just surrendering it all to the Universe. Today's episode I want to share my thoughts on why I think the practice of ‘surrendering' can be a form of gas lighting ourselves.

Today I am sharing why toxic positivity is really getting in the way of our manifestation abilities and how I resolved my deepest core wound “I'm unlovable” and utilized manifestation AND quantum healing to manifest my soulmate. So I deeply believe that we can't continue to only practice positive thinking to ‘manifest' what we desire. I believe the industry has left out a very important step in manifestation. Life is a journey of both suffering and joy. The problem is no one really talks about how to navigate the suffering. We mostly suffer in silence. But why? I think the toxic positivity mindset is one we can SHIFT now. This can allow for more realness in relationships so we can have the supports in place for when life gets hard, because it will.

Law of attraction is key in manifestation. But do you know what else is essential to having what you want? The ability to hold all of what you desire, the chaos and the abundance. When you think about what you desire, how do you feel? Have you ever had a moment to even think about what you desire? Most moms in business can honestly say they haven't ever thought about what they desire. Why? (Invisible load of motherhood) I know, that was me too. Now, I have the capacity to hold it all and honour my deepest desires. This is what we are diving into on today's podcast. Join The Mom Collective for $88/USD month Valentines

Today I am sharing with you how and why I am bridging the gap between being a mom and a business owner. As a business owner, entrepreneur, there are programs, groups and Masterminds you can join to be an entrepreneur. If you are also a mother, there are groups you can join to be a mom. I haven't found a space for women to be both. For me it's bridging the gap and making a space for you to exist as you are in both business and motherhood because you are who you are. I think that there's a lot of damage that has been done when we have to separate our values or separate certain sides of ourselves. We leave a lot on the table when we can't show up fully as we are.

A trigger warning that in today's episode I get raw and vulnerable. Be mindful of the space you are in and be sure you feel safe and secure before you press play. Thank you for holding space with me. Today I share with you my raw and vulnerable experience with the recent loss of my mother. She died suddenly with not even a hint of illness. Today I share from a place of expression for me as I find it deeply healing to share and connect. I don't have answers and I am not offering advice.

“I have it all but I don’t do it all and that’s difference” Amy Simpson I had the honour of sitting with Amy and talking about motherhood and entrepreneurship. Join us for this powerful conversation on having it all and what it takes to do it all. She shared her experience with wanting to contribute to her community, family and clients. Redefining Motherhood for Amy she said she learned she desired more while on maternity leave and really didn’t expect it. She felt like she had everything that was on the ‘prescribed path’ and becoming a mom she realized she wanted more and that it’s okay to grow and develop. All while navigating all the feelings that come with desiring more and feeling like “shouldn’t it be enough?” Amy is a mother, a wife, a realtor and a renovation business owner. Her commitment to her clients is through educating them on the process to allow for a positive and seamless transition to their new home. She can assist you in leveraging her experience to help individuals build wealth through real estate. If it is finding the diamond in the rough, getting first time home buyers into the market or finding a home to outfit for your later years, she has the resources. She meets every new client like a new adventure, with energy, integrity and endless passion. Prior to Real Estate, her education and background was in the medical field. She attended Western University, where she earned a degree in Medical Science with a minor in Criminology. Continuing her education at University of Toronto, she earned a Degree in Medical Radiation Sciences in conjunction with a diploma in Nuclear Medicine followed by a certificate for Magnetic Resonance Imaging from the Michener Institute. She worked in the medical field for over a decade before jumping into Real Estate full time. The hospital environment has ingrained an incredible work ethic and discipline in her life. In Amy's spare time she enjoys renovating their own home, spending days on Lake Simcoe and connecting with her community of 100 Women Who Care South Simcoe.

So honoured to sit with Colleen and talk all things motherhood, toddlers, second babies, relationships and body confidence all mixed in with redefining entrepreneurship as a mother during the pandemic. We have a beautiful history together and I am so honoured to dive into our experiences as entrepreneurial mothers trained in NLP. Colleen shared she wakes up “every day with the mindset and choice to redefine what it means to be a mother and entrepreneur in a pandemic.” This mindset we both agreed is how we can practice resiliency. Permission to practice self-compassion and love during the most unpredictable time of our lives. Colleen has been a top-earning salesperson in the Insurance, Alternative Investments, Private Lending, and Mortgage space for many years. She has been specializing in entrepreneurs, business owners and their financial picture since the beginning of her career. It always seemed like a natural fit for her as an entrepreneur herself. Colleen found success at a young age by pouring herself into every sales lecture, entrepreneurial seminar, and Neuro-Linguistic Programing course possible. But learning these techniques was only the first step. Year over year, she put in the work to adapt and adopt countless strategies to perfect the formula of success and growth. Fast forward to now, she is a mother of four, two humans, two fur babies, a wife and a coach who has presented successful sales strategies and techniques to crowds of over 300 people as well as personal one-on-one coaching to help friends, family, and colleagues.

I absolutely loved our conversation about all things motherhood and entrepreneurship. Milli and I shared our experiences in what we feel motherhood has helped us to learn and earn a space of owning our worth and power. Milli shares her beliefs on what redefining motherhood means to her “ to be multifaceted and in our own feminine energy without shame”. “Healed women will heal the world. I believe the collective healing and raising up of women will be the big shift that needs to happen on earth. For the planet and for us as a species”. Milli Fox is a Strategic and Energetic coach to badass women ready to play big. Her passion is helping women leverage their self-worth as their super-power and believes it's the true foundation for a strong manifestation practice. Milli is a voracious reader, loves all things woo-woo and is currently wishing her and her little family were wintering in Miami as they usually do.

What does it mean to you to be a good girl? Or a bad girl? I’m sharing with you how it has limited me in the past and what I do to break it. These labels have rules and in my experience these rules have limited my potential. In this episode I share my experience with these labels and why I believe we must deconstruct what they mean in our world for two reasons: Because my worth is not defined but these labels, I was born worthy and I am worthy of feeling and being who I desire to be without rules These labels can limit how I ask for help and how I support myself in business and motherhood Connect with Nicole: Book Exploration session: https://www.nicoleweston.ca/offers/LPM9t2ut/checkout Applications open now for my group program BECOMING.

Today I sat down with Dimple and what a beautiful conversation we had. We talked about how her family utilized behavioural flexibility to adapt to the new life of 2020 and how she and her family thrived. Intentionally living and taking inspired action are just some of the ways Dimple lives an empowered life. She shared her story of Becoming and how she heals herself and pain. I am so honoured to share her story with you today. I use my story to teach women how to parent with love, respect and wisdom right from birth. I wrote my story in the book Simply...Woman: Stories from 30 Magnificent Women who have Risen Against the Odds. My mission is to create healthier, happier and empowered families by changing the paradigm of how we show up in our parenting, ensuring that each soul is given the opportunity to heal and live authentically from their highest self and potential. I had a traumatic childhood of abuse and health issues. By the time I was in my 30's, I lost my career due to fibromyalgia. I spent years healing so I could become a mother. I became a mother with conscious intention and felt better than ever. I want all moms to feel healed so that all kids have emotional regulation tools, self-worth, hold empowering beliefs and achieve optimal physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health right from childhood. I want to play a part in helping us raise a generation that doesn't require healing. I use nutrition, mindfulness, EFT/NLP and energy medicine to help women, kids and tweens heal what's holding them back from being the most empowered versions of themselves.

This week I share my experience of what it has been like to hold space for women who have picked up the call. What does it mean to answer ‘the call’? If you are a mom in business you most likely chose to answer the call because you were ready to create more. The BECOMING Collective was designed to hold space for badass women and leaders to grow, connect and master divine leadership. Applications open now for my group program BECOMING.

Today’s show is about ME! We are going back to where it all began for me, October 2012. Be sure to put those head phones on as I dive into sex, heartbreak and the mind F*cks in between. Back when I experienced anxiety and didn’t know I was, back before Evolved NLP was in my life, back when I was so out of love with myself and I was just surviving. I am taking you back and sharing some real raw and vulnerable moments with you Moments I NEVER thought I would share on the podcast. But, this year is about community and connection. This year and every year it’s about leading. I lead, you lead, we lead. Thank you for holding this space. Applications open now for my group program BECOMING.

Today I sat down with Karla to talk all about rage in motherhood. Karla shares her story and why we need to be talking more about our emotions so we can break down the walls that prevent us from connection. “I am a Mama to a toddler. I had every intention to give birth on my terms and raise my daughter without judgment, guilt and comparison. My experience was anything but that and this led me down a path of unfamiliar territory where I experienced extreme anxiety that ultimately led me to rage.” Karla shares “no one told me about postpartum rage and it wasn't until I was finally coming out of it that I recognized it was an actual thing happening to many mamas on a global scale.” Now Karla helps mama's go from postpartum rage to navigating motherhood with confidence and on their terms. She teaches mamas the tools she used to get to a place of understanding and compassion. “I teach them to stand in their power and get back to the joys of motherhood.” Mama on purpose is a Facebook group Karla created for postpartum mama's and new mama's of all stages that are struggling with Anger and Rage in motherhood. This space to help moms identify the triggers and give them the awareness to redefine the anger as information and get back to the joys of navigating motherhood on their terms. https://www.facebook.com/groups/3133936989967391/ Connect with Nicole: https://nicoleweston.ca/

Thank you Laura so much for sharing your journey. Today we talked about the impossible choices we make as mothers in business. Laura has a successful Crossfit gym in town and because of COVID Laura made the difficult choice to close her crossfit gym. She is a mom to a 3.5 year old and a 7 week old and as Laura shares she “it was an impossible choice but there is really only one choice to make”. Laura’s strength and optimism shines through our conversation. I know many mothers out there who are making impossible choices and today I want you to know you are not alone. I see you. Laura helps new and expecting moms reach their athletic and fitness goals by empowering them to understand their bodies and be intentional with their movement. “I want moms to understand what changes with their body are and are not “normal” postpartum, and how to find real support to ensure they are recovering properly. There is too much focus on “bouncing back” after baby that does both psychological and physiological damage - and I want to help women understand what is realistic and provide a reasonable road map to fitness”.
