Grief is often described as a series of stages we move through; but for many people, that simply isn’t how it feels.  In this opening episode, we explore a different way of understanding grief: not as a straight line, but as a labyrinth. A labyrinth has one winding path. It curves, it doubles back, and at times it can feel like you’re returning to the same place again and again.  Grief can feel like this too; shifting, revisiting, and unfolding in its own time. In this episode, we gently explore what it means to live with grief rather than “get over” it. We talk about why grief isn’t something to fix or finish, and how it can become part of your life in a way that allows both sorrow and meaning to exist side by side. This is the beginning of a series that will explore the many layers of grief; including the losses we don’t always name, the idea of “stages,” and how we gradually learn to carry grief in our everyday lives. Wherever you are in your own experience of loss, this episode offers a compassionate starting point: a reminder that there are no wrong turns, and that you are not alone as you find your way through. I invite you to subscribe to the podcast to be notified as each episode is released for this series. I invite you to visit my website to see what the Labyrinth Path looks like.

How many times have you said:🗣️ “I’m fine.”  🗣️ “It’s all good.”  🗣️ “I’ve got it, thanks though.”  🗣️ “I can handle it by myself.”  🗣️ “It’s nothing I can’t handle.”  🗣️ “I’m just processing a few things, but it’s nothing major.”In this deeply honest episode, I open up and share some of my own experiences of what it feels like to carry the unspoken emotional weight of always being the one who holds space for others; while quietly struggling inside.We explore the quiet ache behind these everyday phrases, and the empathic wound that often hides beneath them: the fear that “I am too much.”💫 This episode includes a gentle but powerful EFT Tapping Sequence to help you begin softening that wound... Inviting in safety, support, and the truth that you are not too much… and you never have to carry it all alone.Let this be your reminder: 💜 You deserve to be held, too.And if this episode stirs something deeper in you; a sigh, a tear, a whisper that says “I need more than just a moment…”  I invite you into a sacred space I call Soul Pause.🌿 Soul Pause is a private 1:1 session designed just for you, the one who holds space for everyone else. Here, you don’t have to explain, lead, or keep it all together. You simply get to be, and be held through intuitive guidance, angelic support, and deep emotional care.💜Let this be your permission slip to stop holding it all… and let someone hold you.Angel Blessings,NicoleGet in touch!

Have you ever wondered if being an empath is something that can be diagnosed? In this episode, we explore the common belief that being an empath is caused by childhood trauma or dysfunction. While this is a popular opinion, I share a different perspective—what if being an empath is actually a sacred gift rather than something to be "explained away" or "fixed"?We’ll also dive into: ✨ Why mainstream psychology doesn’t recognize "empath" as a diagnosis—and why that might be a good thing. ✨ The truth about trauma—while being an empath doesn’t come from trauma, your sensitivity can make you more susceptible to it. ✨ A powerful exercise to help you feel into which belief resonates with you most.This episode is all about shifting the narrative around sensitivity, so you can own your empathic gifts with confidence. Tune in and reclaim your power as an embodied empath!Click below and share with me which belief or opinion aligned with you.
