Shameless Leadership

270: Nichole Sylvester: Surviving Addiction, Abuse, And Murder


Listen Later

Nichole Sylvester is International Bestselling Author of OH SHIFT: A Journey from Chaos to Consciousness and host of the OH SHIFT Show. She is a Shameless single mother to her 13-year-old daughter, a Spiritual Success Coach and a transformational speaker on a mission to guide people home, to themselves, to discover their innate power. She supports thousands of people per year through her online programs, private coaching, and retreats.

I heard Nichole in an interview on another podcast recently and immediately Instagram stalked her and asked her to come on the SMA. Her story is mind-blowing. From watching her dad OD in front of her to smuggling drugs taped to her body between states to having a woman murdered in her own home at the hands of her abusive ex-boyfriend, Nichole’s journey is more than you think one woman can endure. Yet, here she is. A survivor and a warrior and a powerful thought leader.

Listen in to hear Nichole share:

  • How she survived rock bottom when her ex-boyfriend murdered a woman in her home
  • How she drugged her abusive boyfriend to escape with her daughter
  • How she turned a life of addiction and abuse into a life of service and purpose
  • The power and purpose of radical compassion
  • How to move into the “lesson and leadership” phase to share your story
  • Why you need to start with celebration in your life in order to get over feeling like you’re not enough
