I recorded this video yesterday with every intention of posting it…
and then back-to-school life happened.

If January already feels full-on, especially as a parent, please know you’re not behind. You’re human.

This year I’ll be sharing support, tools, and guidance to help teens and parents feel calmer, more confident, and more prepared for the journey ahead.

I’ll also be sharing a behind-the-scenes look at how this year has started in the next episode of Stresses and Successes of a Solopreneur on YouTube, coming next week.

No rushing. No panic. Just taking the next right step.

As the year draws to a close, I want to pause and say a heartfelt thank you.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me this year. Whether you followed along quietly, engaged with my content, shared a post, attended a workshop, or trusted me with your family’s journey, it has meant more than you know.

This has been a big year of growth, learning, courage, and change, and I am deeply grateful.

I’ll be taking a two-week break to rest and spend time with my family before stepping into the new year refreshed and ready.

Wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful, joyful Christmas and a gentle end to the year.

With gratitude,
Nicole

Money is often talked about in numbers.
But for many solopreneurs, it’s deeply emotional.

In Episode 5 of Stresses and Successes of a Solopreneur, I share honestly about the income dips, the stress, the difficult decisions, and the internal shifts that shaped my year.

This episode isn’t about advice or quick fixes.
It’s about navigating pressure, learning to pause instead of panic, and choosing rest as part of building something sustainable.

This episode feels like a deep breath.

In Episode 4 of Stresses and Successes of a Solopreneur, I talk about a creative awakening that quietly changed everything for me.

From returning to the stage after nearly a decade, to rediscovering creativity through art, content, and play, this episode is about what happens when you stop waiting for things to get better and allow joy back in.

Creativity didn’t come after things got better.
It helped make things better.

If you’ve ever felt like you put parts of yourself on hold while building a life or business, I think this will resonate.

I thought building my first online course would take two weeks.

It didn’t.

It took weeks of learning, designing, filming, editing, exhaustion, doubt… and growth.

This episode is about what really goes into creating something meaningful;
the excitement, the grind, the silence after launch, and the moment you realise
“this didn’t fail… it just hasn’t been seen yet.”

If you’re building something from the ground up and wondering if it’s worth it,
this one’s for you.

🎥 EPISODE 2 is live

This episode is part of my 8-part 2025 Reflection Series, and it’s one of the most honest ones I’ve recorded.

In Episode 2, I reflect on why 2025 — my third year of running EmpowerMe Coaching SA — was such a turning point.
Not because everything worked…
But because I finally stopped building purely in survival mode and started building with strategy and intention.

I share openly about:
• The frantic energy that nearly burned me out
• Accepting clients who weren’t the right fit
• Realising I couldn’t scale through 1:1 coaching alone
• Learning business and marketing as I went
• The late-in-the-year mindset shift that changed everything

This video is intentionally raw and minimally edited, because that felt truest to the message.

If this season of business feels heavy or uncertain, you’re not alone — and you’re not failing. 🤍

This year changed me in ways I never saw coming… and I finally sat down to document it.

I’m starting a new YouTube diary series called Stresses and Successes of a Solopreneur — a real, behind-the-scenes look at what it’s actually like to build a business, raise a family, rediscover myself, and try to grow without burning out.

This intro episode is the heart of where it all began:
the messy moments, the breakthroughs, the identity shifts, the fears,
and the tiny brave steps that shaped me in 2025.

If you enjoy honest storytelling and real-life business journeys, I’d love for you to watch Episode 1.

I’ve been reflecting, dreaming and… recording.
A new chapter is coming — a YouTube series where I share the real behind-the-scenes of building my business and becoming who I’m meant to be.

I’ll post here whenever new episodes go live, so you won’t miss a thing.
Can’t wait to bring you with me. 💛
