Sometimes using AI can be fun. I tried this trend and loved it. It spoke to me and I felt it represents who I am and how I want clients to feel when working me with. I received a comment that I wanted to share as it made me so happy to read.

Some of the things you were able to identify in our conversations we had have been ground breaking .You have helped me get to the root of a particular issue that set me on a path to uncovering a pattern that I was not aware I was in. With awareness I was not only able to work on healing the trama that caused the problem but also to be aware of my own behaviour and how I respond to being treated poorly in both personal and work situations.

Thank you to all my clients that trust me to be apart of their journey.

Where Did the Affection Go? Physical Intimacy and Connection

In this episode of the Parallel Relationship Series, Nichole explores the quiet shifts that can happen in physical intimacy and affection within long-term relationships.

As life becomes busier and emotional distance grows, many couples begin noticing changes in closeness, touch, and connection, often without fully understanding how or when things changed.

Nichole talks about the link between emotional and physical intimacy, how stress, exhaustion, routine, and unspoken emotions can quietly impact connection, and why many people struggle to talk openly about this part of their relationship.

This episode offers both honesty and hope, because sometimes these shifts are part of emotional disconnection that can be repaired, and sometimes they bring clarity about what’s no longer working.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering where the closeness went, or questioning whether what you’re experiencing is normal, this conversation will likely resonate deeply.

People think grief lives in the big moments.

The funeral.
The anniversary.
The birthday.
The holidays.

And sometimes it does.

But often, grief shows up quietly. In the grocery store when you reach for the snack they loved. In hearing a song while driving or in suddenly being surprised by thoughts of them.

In wanting to call them before remembering you can’t.
In sitting down with good news and realizing there’s no one to share it with the same way. That was always the hardest for me. Realizing that my biggest cheerleaders were gone.

It’s the ordinary moments that can take your breath away.

The empty chair. The silence in the house. The routines that now feel incomplete.

Grief has a way of weaving itself into everyday life. Not always loudly. Sometimes softly. Sometimes unexpectedly.

And while those moments can hurt deeply, they also speak to love.
To connection.
To the impact someone had on your life.

Because grief isn’t proof that you should be “over it.”
It’s proof that someone mattered.

People often think clarity will feel calm.
Certain.
Confident.

But sometimes clarity arrives as exhaustion.

As lying awake replaying the same thoughts over and over.
As feeling lonely beside someone you love.
As realizing you’ve been carrying the relationship alone for a long time.

Sometimes clarity sounds like:

“I can’t keep pretending I’m okay.”
“This relationship no longer feels safe for me emotionally.”
“I miss who I used to be.”
“I’m tired of abandoning myself to keep the peace.”

And sometimes the hardest part is this:

You already know something needs to change.
You’re just scared to admit it.

Relationship uncertainty can keep people stuck in cycles of overthinking, guilt, hope, and fear.

Not because they’re weak but simply because relationships are complicated. Love is complicated.
Because grief exists inside relationships too.

Clarity is not always loud.
Sometimes it’s the quiet moment where your body finally says:

“I don’t want to keep living like this anymore.”

And that matters.

After someone you love dies, guilt can show up in ways you don’t expect.

“I should have called more.”
“I should have visited.”
“I should have said more, done more, been more.”

Your mind starts replaying moments. Looking for what you missed. Filling in the gaps with what ifs and if onlys.

And before you know it, grief starts to feel like something you did wrong.

But most of the time, that guilt isn’t truth.

It’s love… with nowhere to go.
It’s the ache of missing them, trying to land somewhere.
It’s your heart searching for control in something that was never yours to control.

But here’s the part we don’t talk about enough:

You showed up in the ways you could, with what you knew, at the time you were in it. And love is not measured only in the last conversations, the final visits, or the things left unsaid.

Guilt can be loud after loss.
But it doesn’t always mean you failed them.
Sometimes it just means you loved them deeply.

And learning to hold that truth, with compassion instead of blame, can be part of your healing too.

I’m just going to leave this quote right here.

Grief is like glitter. In the beginning, it’s everywhere.. on your hands, in your hair, scattered across every corner of your life. You try to clean it up, to restore some sense of order. And for a while, it seems like you’ve succeeded.

But then, one day, you move a sofa or open a forgotten drawer, and there it is again. A tiny sparkle that catches the light and reminds you of what you lost. It doesn’t go away completely. It settles, becomes quieter, less overwhelming.

You learn to live with it, to carry it gently. And years later, when you find a bit of that glitter tucked behind a shelf, you might smile. Maybe even laugh. Because it reminds you of love, of connection, of someone who mattered deeply.

Eventually, something will catch your eye a photo, a favorite song, a familiar scent, and instead of pain, you’ll feel warmth. That’s the quiet truth about grief. It stays with you, but it changes. It becomes a part of your story, a soft echo of the love that never really left.

Beautifully said. Where have you found your glitter?

Right after my dad passed, people showed up. They checked in, brought food, made sure we were okay. It meant so much to feel held in that way.

At the time, I was still in “business mode.” Planning, organizing, taking care of what needed to be done. Moving through it all on autopilot.

But as the days went on, something shifted.

The quiet settled in.
The grief got heavier.
The emotions became harder to hold, harder to make sense of.

And slowly… the check-ins became less frequent.

Not because people didn’t care, but because life moved forward.

Grief doesn’t fade as quickly as support sometimes does. In many ways, it deepens after everything else quiets down.

That’s why having a space to turn to matters.
Someone who will sit with you in it.
Not just at the beginning, but in the days, weeks, and months that follow.

You don’t have to carry it alone.

Many people know the stages of grief but they don't always happen in the order listed. It often happens backwards, sideways and then add in additional emotions like..

Sadness
Loneliness
Happiness
Devastation
Joy
Guilt

And we wonder why so many people suffer with their grief alone. How do you explain to someone all of these emotions and not sound crazy?

The truth is, when we allow ourselves to go through all of these emotions, we are giving ourselves permission to heal. With the right support in place, these emotions become the road map to moving forward.

There are so many people quietly carrying grief, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, and loss without the support they truly need. Unfortunately, coaching and emotional support are not always financially accessible for everyone.

Because of this, I’ve created a support fund to help provide coaching sessions for individuals who may not otherwise be able to afford them.

It’s about creating a safe space for someone to feel heard, supported, and less alone during a difficult season of life.

If you feel called to donate, every contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward supporting someone navigating life’s struggles.

Thank you for helping me make support more accessible 🤍

Have you ever noticed how quickly grief can show up in those small everyday moments and catch us off guard?

The empty chair at the table for holidays, the phone calls that don't come anymore, the silence after good news, holidays, grocery shopping, and routines that now feel different.

For me I struggled with not being able to call to share something exciting or when the universe gave me clues that he was still around.

Grief never fully goes away, we just learn to adapt to our new "normal".

Designing Spaces for Healing & Transformation with

Grief doesn’t only change how we feel, it can change how we experience the spaces around us and how we see ourselves within them.

In this episode of Open Up and Talk, Nichole sits down with intuitive designer, transformational coach, and author Annette Farha to explore the connection between grief, identity, and the environments we live in.

Together, they talk about how our physical spaces can either hold us in who we were or gently support who we are becoming. Annette shares how intentional design can create a sense of safety, clarity, and alignment, helping us reconnect with ourselves during times of loss and transition.

This conversation offers a unique and grounded perspective on healing, reminding us that transformation isn’t only internal, it can be reflected and supported in the spaces we move through every day.

If you’re navigating change, grief, or feeling disconnected from yourself, this episode will invite you to look at your environment in a new way and consider what it might be asking of you next.
