The following podcast is a deer media production.

Hey friend, it's Nicole, host of the Nicole Walters Podcast.

Here's where we laugh, we cry, and we grant ourselves grace as we do life together.

Let's get started.

Hey friends, it is officially summertime.

I have kids at home and the older ones are popping in and out.

And the little one is in summer camp, a real blessing.

I do not minimize the financial privilege of being able to continue to send my child away

for several days of the week.

So I just wanted to say to all the mamas and sisters and aunties and everyone pitching

in to help take care of these babies.

Bless it because I think we're about like one or two weeks in and they're all bored.

So I'm just letting you know I'm in it with you.

But I'm still excited summers here because I'm hoping that we give them invacations.

And I do love having that extra family time and I'm hoping everything finds you well.

Now I was driving in to have this chat with you today.

And I was thinking gosh like what is it that I think has been one of the most transformative things

that I've done in the past year.

And I mean transformative and you know I tell you about my tactical stuff.

You know starting my business or launching this product or writing my book.

But you know I also want to make sure I'm bringing to you belief systems and ideas and lessons

that I've actively learned through experiences that I really think are shaping how I'm doing things differently in the future.
