Summary

Nicole Walters, author, podcaster, daughter of immigrants, and self-made millionaire, opens up about her life, which includes adopting three girls, starting her own business, navigating a challenging marriage, and experiencing various personal struggles. She discusses how she fell into the pattern of being a "human giver," always putting others first, and how it eventually led to burnout. The conversation takes a deep dive into the concept of self-worth and the societal pressure on women to constantly seek external validation. Nicole shares her personal journey of realizing that true fulfillment comes from within and how her book, "Nothing is Missing," encapsulates this empowering message. She encourages women to embrace the power of saying "yes" to help, acknowledging the immense weight they carry, and emphasizing the importance of self-care. Host a Tricks and Treats gathering!
