The following podcast is a dear 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 so you have been here on a journey. I am so grateful. I'm so grateful because our conversations that we have, I see

you on social posting in your cars and at the gym and you know it's just it's really amazing to have this time with you and I don't

take it for granted but I need to both apologize I guess and be really

honest and transparent about the time that we have here and

making sure it is of complete value. And I want to let you know that I don't take it lightly what it means to be able to speak into people's lives.

And that's something that I've always held in a lot of integrity and close to the vest that the life that I have right now is one that there are people who work towards it.

There are people who are born into it. There are people who train for it,

but at the end of the day, you don't get this opportunity

without God having sent you and without having a special call

over your life because things have to move in certain ways

for you to even have this type of access and opportunity,

which means that you have to be really responsible with it.

And the reason why I say, you know, it's kind of like an apology, call out, let's just keep it all the

way real is I feel like there's another level to this relationship.

And one of the number one thing that's always said to me, and I hope you all are feeling where this is going, because it is, this is a kind of,

we're about to take our friendship to the next level kind of

chat, you know, sometimes you have it with your girlfriend,

sometimes you have it with your partner, your spouse,

or sometimes even with your boss where it's like, hey, you know, I need more,

you know, and we need, we need to dive deeper, and that's very much what this chat is.
