  • I always walk away having learned something new!

    Expand with Nicole is my go-to podcast. What I love most is that I learn something new from every single podcast! I love the way that Nicole makes sure that we can walk away with action steps on all things wellness that she shares. I also love that the episodes are so informative but also are quick to listen to making it something that I feel can fit into my busy schedule as a mom.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Not Lose Yourself in Motherhood: Boundaries, Identity & The Power of Saying No | Christine Gunderson
Q: And how many kids do you have?
Three, and we talk about how the middle child often embodies similar traits, which leads to reflective discussions about parenting dynamics.
#97: Biohacking the Soul: How to Optimize Your Body, Mind, and Spirit | Nahum Vizakis
Q: What would you say to listeners who want to incorporate more spiritual awareness but also want to maintain a strong physical routine?
Choose activities you genuinely enjoy for movement, aim for 30 minutes to an hour daily, and integrate spiritual practice into the routine (breathwork, breath awareness, meditation, visualization) so the two domains reinforce each other rather than compete.
#97: Biohacking the Soul: How to Optimize Your Body, Mind, and Spirit | Nahum Vizakis
Q: What is your non-negotiable first 30 minutes of the day to ensure nervous system regulation before you start your workout, or is that entirely separate?
I start with coffee with collagen, then I lie on a sound lounge with red light, visualize the workout for about 20 minutes, and only then head to the gym for a session that includes light cardio and weight training, followed by a sauna or extra cardio as needed.
#97: Biohacking the Soul: How to Optimize Your Body, Mind, and Spirit | Nahum Vizakis
Q: And what would you say to someone who says they just can't find the motivation to stay committed to whatever it is, like whether it's a three day fast, working out, how do you help people find drive from internal alignment and not external validation?
If someone actually wants to change, they will seek out something and take action; otherwise, excuses and a victim stance keep them stuck. The key is to cultivate inner worth and decide to show up, even when it's hard, then build momentum through consistent small actions.
#96: Understanding Parts Work (IFS): How to Heal Triggers, Set Boundaries, and Find Inner Calm | Craig Perra
Q: What's a simple first step someone can take without a therapist to start this journey?
Start with journaling or recording a rant to give the part voice, then analyze what underlying needs it reveals and begin a dialogue with that part to understand its origins and what it truly needs.
