How to Know When It’s Time to Leave—Your Job, Your Partner, or Your Old Self with Nicole Walters

Sep 30

#312: If you’ve ever felt like you’re too loud, too soft, too opinionated, too emotional, too ambitious—or just too much—this episode is for you.

Nicole Walters is back on the podcast, and in true Nicole fashion, she’s not holding anything back. After walking away from a 12-year marriage, becoming a mom again at 40, writing a bestselling memoir, and rebranding her platform, she’s learned exactly what it costs to become your truest self. And why it’s always worth it.

We talk about what happens when you stop downplaying yourself to stay likable, why clarity often comes after loss, and how to stop shrinking yourself just because it makes other people more comfortable.

If you’ve been tiptoeing around your own evolution—afraid of how it might look, or who it might upset—you need to press play on this episode.
