Joining me for the second time on the show, Nicole and I sat down to catch up on life and business!

One of her big accomplishments over the past few years is the expansion of the space at her Cambridge location. That brought with it lots of challenges that she shares. Who knew you had to be a realtor, attorney, therapist and more as the owner of a business.

Believe it or not, in her 8th year as a business owner, Nicole talks about how she did not go to business school or take any classes on being an entrepreneur. She's done it all by getting her hands dirty, boots on the ground!

While feeling like she's on the other side of some major challenges over the past few years, Nicole shares what she's done to help her through it all. She's adopted a holistic wellness approach to life including spirituality, fitness, acupuncture and more. It's all lead her to a feeling of wanting to give back and asking the question "what am i here for, how can i better serve"?

The conversation is powerful!

I'm joined by a fellow realtor on this episode. Like me, Katherine moved to Boston without knowing anyone and continued the real estate career she had begun in Washington, DC. We both agree, it's not for the faint at heart, but here we are.

Katherine shares how she shared information on her social media about a local business that had closed with something new opening in it's place. She woke up to lots of comments and the understanding that this was the type of content people were looking for. Now with over 22,000 instagram followers she continues to share information about new buildings, construction, restaurants and more that are coming to the area with her TV personality like approach.

In addition, Katherine has a passion for supporting other women. With that in mind, she started a dinner series called "The Table" inviting women from all different real estate brokerages across the city and state to sit down to share, collab and grow!

Kicking off season 7 of Bold Like Her with an old friend I had the chance to catch up with as we sat down to chat fitness, life and where she is now in her career.

Kate is the COO of Higher Ground Fitness, helping them to continue to grow and open more locations around Boston. We talked about what the workout looks like along with their proprietary HGF Machine!

Fitness has always been a part of Kate's life, in fact she ran the Boston Marathon at the age of just 15! She followed the path she thought was meant for her with positions in finance at companies like Wayfair and Pintrest but felt a pull in another direction.

She found herself mentoring and coaching other fitness studio owners on how to run their locations as money making businesses and as fate would have it met the owner of Higher Ground.

From an early age, Sam battled anxiety and depression, feeling like something was missing—like life was meant to be more. For years, she stayed in my comfort zone, unsure of where to turn. But deep down, her intuition told me there was another path.

As she embarked on her personal journey—through therapy, spiritual practices, and journaling—she made the decision to rise above her struggles and embrace a new mindset. Sam took the leap, leaving behind the familiar to step into her power—and she never looked back.

Now with her story and her sneakers she's helping other women do the same.

Intuition Kicks is more than a sneaker brand—it's a movement. It symbolizes resilience, self-trust, and the power of listening to that inner voice.

On this episode I sit down with Jenni Rose DiCecco.

This former record breaking collegiate basketball player is a very busy woman.

She's a volunteer with a local non-profit, works with the Celtics to help young girls interested in the sport and has even started a women's networking group for other women that lead here in Boston!

Karly is the Chief Information Officer at Zinkerz an academic tutoring, test prep and admissions counseling company. Karly is a leader who has consistently pushed boundaries in education and technology to create meaningful change.

Her journey began after earning her degrees, working in public relations for a major company. She quickly recognized that the industry often prioritized competition over collaboration, which led her to pivot. She applied last-minute to Boston College's Graduate School of Education, earned her master's, and then returned to the classroom at Newton North High School.

During her time home with her daughter and then her son, she continued to support students by writing content for test prep companies. It was during this period that she discovered Zinkerz, a startup focusing on online education.

On this episode Karly shares more on her journey, how she continues to help her company grow and fosters a culture of "leading with yes" always encouraging her team to try to think of ways we can make things happen, instead of reasons why we cannot.

Welcome to Zinkerz

Always a good time to get reminders on what a healthy plate actually looks like!
