Friend, A LOT is going on in our world right now and I have to admit that lately I have felt less hope and more hopelessness.

Can you relate? Maybe it’s a product of so many unprecedented times but I’ve had to work a lot harder at having hope.

In this chat we're here to talk about having hope, keeping hope, and taking care of one another. Things are not TOO bad that they can’t get better - they will, they always do.

Friend, I’m believing in a better tomorrow and I hope you do the same.

Drop into my DMs https://www.instagram.com/nicolewalters with your thoughts and how you’re holding up! I love that we get to do this together.

Friends, it turns out that who your partner’s family is is important. Did y’all know this?! This was news to me but not to Alex - he’s been making partner choices based on their family for years!

In this chat, Alex and I chat about why your extended family matters! We both share our previous experiences with our partner’s family and how it led us to leave or stay in the relationship.

The fact is every family is different and there’s no shame in that but is their “different” good for you?

Thanks for being here, friend! Drop into my DMs https://www.instagram.com/nicolewalters with your extended family stories so we can chat more.

This whole season we have been talking about surrendering and the peace we can acquire from doing so. In the process of letting go in my own life, I’ve had to confront my habit of over-explaining.

Are you with me, friend? You know when someone in your life drops the ball and you feel as if you need to equip them with more information so it won’t happen again? Or they are misunderstanding you so you feel as if they need more from you to understand?

Well, that just isn’t it - at least not all the time. Letting others learn the lessons they’re meant to learn is freeing and necessary for everyone involved.

Let’s chat, friend!

Drop into my DMs https://www.instagram.com/nicolewalters so we can chat more about the process of surrendering.

Years ago I couldn’t imagine living a life that I didn’t need a constant break from. What I thought was self care was actually me escaping from the stressful life circumstances that I had created.

Friend, in this chat we’re diving into what I’ve learned in order to build a life that I don’t need to escape from. If you can relate, this chat is for you!

Are there boundaries you need to put in place? Something you need to walk away from? Friend, it’s up to you.
