In this episode, Nichole focuses on the power of meditation and deep breathing for gaining more male allies in the workplace. She encourages listeners to take a few minutes to calm their breathing and relax their bodies in order to create a space for reflection and self-awareness.

Nichole guides listeners through a meditation session, prompting them to focus on their breath and release any tension or stress they may be holding onto. She asks listeners to reflect on their day and their emotions without judgment, and to become present in their bodies and the moment.

She then asks listeners to envision a future version of themselves who has built strong relationships with male allies in the workplace. She encourages them to imagine how these male allies are supporting them, whether as mentors, sponsors, or advocates for their promotion or projects. Nichole emphasizes the importance of clear communication with male allies and the willingness to share vulnerabilities in order to build deeper connections.

Nichole leads listeners in affirmations, encouraging them to believe in their worthiness, confidence, and ability to communicate their needs with male allies. She reminds them that building relationships takes time and practice, but it is a valuable skill that can lead to a better work environment. She encourages listeners to take moments for deep breathing and self-care when feeling stressed at work, and to remember that tomorrow is always a new day to do better.

As the meditation comes to an end, Nichole prompts listeners to come back to their physical awareness by wiggling their toes and opening their eyes if they had closed them. She encourages them to recognize the benefits of meditation and deep breathing in building relationships with male allies and creating a more supportive workplace environment.
