Summary
Ep 136 Do you feel like you’re ready to be the main character in your story — but all your life you’ve been in a supporting role? Are you trying to pursue your calling, but perfectionism and the fear of being seen are holding you back? Today we have a very special guest on the podcast for a much needed heart to heart.. this is the type of conversation that women have behind closed doors that helps us to heal and deeply witness one another. Noelle is joining us today for real talk on the intricacies of motherhood, the terrifying but thrilling prospect of owning your gifts and no longer playing small, and taking back your OWN life no matter what that looks like to you. Noelle is here to break down everything from starting her “Fit + Thick” career behind the scenes with her sister, to realizing she was worthy of being on the forefront too, and how the concept of “messy action” got her through it. This conversation was such a gift to record and truly highlights the importance of holding a vision for those we love and the deep power friendship can have.
HERE'S THE JUICE:
-
Noelle’s journey from living in her mind to truly inhabiting her body and the vulnerability of starting over and letting go of anger
-
How to take messy action, Noelle shares on working with her sister, and the unexpected challenges that pushed her forward.
-
Unpacking the realizations Noelle had to have to step into her own story – understanding that you can only meet people as deeply as you have met yourself.
-
Why motherhood has the potential to push us to become better versions of ourselves and tangible tools to harness that potential if you are feeling overwhelmed
-
Recognizing that everything, cleaning, cooking, playing with your child, can be an opportunity for nervous system work.
-
Truly understanding that our parents’ nervous system dysregulation is not ours to carry.
-
Learning to meet yourself with curiosity, unlearning what no longer serves you, and having the courage to be honest about what we are holding on to.
-
How believing in someone, before they believe in themselves, can be life-changing and the importance of holding a high vision for those we love

| 1:15.8 | you might do that to a point where you ask yourself, am I going crazy? And this conversation |
| 1:21.7 | with Noelle will show you that not only are you not crazy, but you're also not alone. And there |
| 1:26.2 | are other people and other women out there who sit there and have this level of depth of conversation about |
| 1:33.0 | the world, about how to show up better for ourselves, about how to show up better for our children, |
