EP 2: What's That One Conversation You Need To Have?

Nicole touches on finding that one person who you need to have a
conversation with in order to be refreshed and move forward with
your life.


There was a time in her life that she wanted to make a career
change and focus on training and coaching in women's leadership
development. Day after day, week after week, while she was trying
to create and fulfill her role, she felt that she kept hitting a
wall and couldn't figure out what it was. She found herself in a
rut where It was difficult to be creative and meet deadlines. Her
mind was very cluttered and her visions wasn't clear.


During this time Nicole began to even doubt herself and question
her ability. Was it possible this was a sign that maybe she isn't
destined to do such work. No one knew she was going through this.
After weeks of thinking about it, she told her team that she
needed to take a break.


She found the days passing and she still felt stuck until one day
she heard a voice in her head saying "You need to have a
conversation." As much as she wanted to be uncertain when she got
clarity she realized that she's been avoiding this conversation
for years.


She sat down one night and started to Facetime this person
because she knew this couldn't just be a regular phone call. She
was calling HER FATHER. Nicole and her father were emotionally
distant for a very long time. Her parents got divorced which
caused a wedge between them.


She decided that this conversation wasn't about blaming her
father but instead, it's for her to be free and elevate.


Her dad listened to her and after she told him everything she
needed to say to free her mind up, she lost her voice for some
strange reason. She had to whisper the last few words to say, "I
just felt you weren't supporting my dreams." After she said that,
her voice came back.


After that conversation, all of her ideas about the business
started to come back. All the strategies and confusion got back.
Sometimes in our life, it's not about achieving all the things
its about how we're moving forward. Sometimes, it's that one
conversation that we refused to have before that's holding us
back.


Nicole challenges us to think, is there someone you need to have
a conversation with in order to move forward? It's not limited to
your parents. It could be your child, spouse, friend, cousin,
even yourself. It will change your whole life from the inside
out, and everything will follow.
