Summary

Nichole Sylvester is International Bestselling Author of OH SHIFT: A Journey from Chaos to Consciousness and host of the OH SHIFT Show. She is a Shameless single mother to her 13-year-old daughter, a Spiritual Success Coach and a transformational speaker on a mission to guide people home, to themselves, to discover their innate power. She supports thousands of people per year through her online programs, private coaching, and retreats. I heard Nichole in an interview on another podcast recently and immediately Instagram stalked her and asked her to come on the SMA. Her story is mind-blowing. From watching her dad OD in front of her to smuggling drugs taped to her body between states to having a woman murdered in her own home at the hands of her abusive ex-boyfriend, Nichole’s journey is more than you think one woman can endure. Yet, here she is. A survivor and a warrior and a powerful thought leader. Listen in to hear Nichole share: How she survived rock bottom when her ex-boyfriend murdered a woman in her home How she drugged her abusive boyfriend to escape with her daughter How she turned a life of addiction and abuse into a life of service and purpose The power and purpose of radical compassion How to move into the “lesson and leadership” phase to share your story Why you need to start with celebration in your life in order to get over feeling like you’re not enough Links Mentioned: Connect with Nichole: Nichole Sylvester Nichole’s Book: OH SHIFT Nichole’s Podcast: OH SHIFT Show Nichole on Instagram Nichole on Facebook 5-day money mindset challenge: Own Your Money Shift Thank you to our sponsors: Fabfitfun: To get $10 off your first subscription box (making it only $39.99 for $200 worth of products) go to Fabfitfun and use the code SHAMELESS at checkout.
