EP 2: What's That One Conversation You Need To Have?

Nicole touches on finding that one person who you need to have a conversation with in order to be refreshed and move forward with your life.

There was a time in her life that she wanted to make a career change and focus on training and coaching in women's leadership development. Day after day, week after week, while she was trying to create and fulfill her role, she felt that she kept hitting a wall and couldn't figure out what it was. She found herself in a rut where It was difficult to be creative and meet deadlines. Her mind was very cluttered and her visions wasn't clear.

During this time Nicole began to even doubt herself and question her ability. Was it possible this was a sign that maybe she isn't destined to do such work. No one knew she was going through this. After weeks of thinking about it, she told her team that she needed to take a break.

She found the days passing and she still felt stuck until one day she heard a voice in her head saying "You need to have a conversation." As much as she wanted to be uncertain when she got clarity she realized that she's been avoiding this conversation for years.

She sat down one night and started to Facetime this person because she knew this couldn't just be a regular phone call. She was calling HER FATHER. Nicole and her father were emotionally distant for a very long time. Her parents got divorced which caused a wedge between them.

She decided that this conversation wasn't about blaming her father but instead, it's for her to be free and elevate.

Her dad listened to her and after she told him everything she needed to say to free her mind up, she lost her voice for some strange reason. She had to whisper the last few words to say, "I just felt you weren't supporting my dreams." After she said that, her voice came back.

After that conversation, all of her ideas about the business started to come back. All the strategies and confusion got back. Sometimes in our life, it's not about achieving all the things its about how we're moving forward. Sometimes, it's that one conversation that we refused to have before that's holding us back.

Nicole challenges us to think, is there someone you need to have a conversation with in order to move forward? It's not limited to your parents. It could be your child, spouse, friend, cousin, even yourself. It will change your whole life from the inside out, and everything will follow.
