Join us in this enlightening episode as we embark on a profound journey of self-discovery with my guest, Nicoa Dunne from Life by Design and the Coffee with Nicoa podcast. 

Nicoa shares her courageous transition from feeling unfulfilled in a corporate HR executive role to becoming an Life & Executive Coach, redefining her life on her own terms in her empty nest life.

Throughout our conversation, Nicoa reveals her personal story of navigating challenges such as panic attacks and societal pressures and emphasizing the importance of aligning life with true values. We dive into the complexities of identity transition, discussing significant life changes, including empty nesting, divorce, and career shifts, while shedding light on the accompanying feelings of guilt and the quest for self-rediscovery.

Highlights:

• Explore the journey from corporate success to life coaching and authorship.
• Discover the transformative concept of the "six-word story" for redefining self-identity.
• Understand the emotional landscape of navigating identity shifts after children leave home.
• Learn practical strategies for journaling and self-dialogue to gain clarity.
• Gain insights on managing energy and shifting perspectives for a more fulfilling life.

Key Takeaways:

• Embrace change and prioritize personal happiness while navigating life's transitions.
• Recognize the significance of self-awareness and acceptance in enhancing relationships.
• Shift your mindset to view life as happening for you, rather than to you, to foster fulfillment.
• Challenge societal notions of success and create a life that resonates with your personal values.

We encourage listeners to embrace their unique journeys, allowing space to grieve past identities while celebrating the freedom to design a life that truly reflects who they are. Tune in for inspiration, insightful discussions, and practical advice to empower your self-discovery journey!
