Can we all agree that if you’ve given birth, you can’t be told NOTHING. Is it possible, though, to love the journey of having a baby but also admit that pregnancy is not for you?

I’m here to say yes, friend, it’s possible and okay! Now in my third trimester, I’m okay saying that pregnancy is not for me. In this chat I share why that is and how I can comfortably admit that.

I know I’m not alone in this thanks to all your messages! Let’s keep this chat going over on IG at https://instagram.com/nicolewalters

Alex is here to help me answer the question of, “What is it like being in an interracial relationship when the topic of race is so divisive?”

We’re sharing when and how race gets brought up in our home, if our interracial relationship affects our work, and how we’ve come together in parenting our current and future babies. And friend, this is just our take! We don’t speak for every white man, black woman, or interracial couple.

Thanks for hanging out with us today. I want to hear your thoughts and feedback - find me over on IG at https://instagram.com/nicolewalters

Y’all know how important exfoliation is to me but it doesn’t end with my skin. As you reflect on this year, I want to encourage you to look at the people in your life and ask, “Am I being too nice?!”

In this chat I’m bringing you into what I’ve learned about being too nice and therefore overcompensating for the people in my life. Whether that’s family, friends, or employees, their trauma is not their fault but their healing journey is their responsibility, not mine and not yours.

The reality is not everyone is coming into the next season with us. Our responsibility is not to heal others but to allow them to step into their healing journey. So friend, are you too nice?

This is one of the tougher chats we’ve had but because I want our time here to be impactful AND move in integrity, I’m glad to have this chat with you.

At the end of the day, I hope that we're able to show love, compassion, grace, and respect towards each other because we're so much more than a single political issue and so much more than our politics.

In previous chats, we’ve talked about the expectation and pressure that exists to support our parents (especially for those of us who are first generation!) We were raised to stand in the gap of everyone else’s mess, even before building something of our own.

The impulse to help everyone else before we help ourselves can burn us out QUICK and when you burn yourself out, you can’t help anyone.

Friend, there is no return on investment when you are training people to use YOU as the resource.

Don’t miss this chat! Hit play so I can share a little bit of hard-earned wisdom with you.

I wish I could say that this is one of those chats where I have the answers, but the reality is it just isn’t. I’m struggling with this and if you have any answers or can relate, DM me. I receive it, friend!

I’m heading to Atlanta for a business dinner soon and it’s bringing up feelings of grief and reminders of my former life. It’s like when the babies head to college and you go into their room and wish they were still there even though you know it’s right that they aren’t.

If there is anything I’m learning it’s that the future doesn’t look like what you think it’s going to look like. The future is always better but maybe in a way that is different than you expected.

Wherever you’re at right now, this isn’t the end. The journey is still continuing and God has incredible plans for you.

Thanks so much for being here, friend. DM me over on IG at https://instagram.com/nicolewalters

Is it a privilege to be able to submit to your partner?

At one point I thought submission was the problem, I mean just reading that word my make you want to run in the other direction.

I get it and that’s why this chat is spicy and necessary.

The fact is some of you may just not get this but those of you that do, GET IT.

When you trust and respect your partner so much that you can submit to them it’s a gift. And that’s what I’m trying to teach my girls who are all at different places in dating.

Friend if you’re shaking your head yes and need more understanding on what submission can look like in a healthy (but imperfect) relationship, grab a seat and let’s chat.

Thanks so much for being here. I’m unguiltable in my thoughts are submission but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to hear your thoughts too. Drop me a message on IG at https://instagram.com/nicolewalters or over on YouTube at https://nicolewalters.com/youtube
