⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode includes lived experiences involving trauma and suicidal thoughts. It is not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you’re struggling, please seek support from a licensed professional or contact a mental health helpline near you.

This week, I’m joined by Nicole Zink, a multi-dimensional creative, wellness mentor, and founder of With Zinky—a startup helping wellness practitioners build their digital presence with clarity and confidence.

Nicole shares her incredible journey of reinvention—from a turbulent upbringing to healing through travel, confronting profound personal loss, and ultimately launching a business aligned with her truth. She’s also entering the world of commercial modelling, aligning with brands that value authenticity and purpose.

💬 In this episode, we talk about:

  • The emotional weight of growing up in an unstable environment

  • Leaving behind what no longer aligns

  • Healing through travel, self-work, and meaningful relationships

  • Losing someone dear—and finding purpose on the other side

  • Building with Zinky and backing herself in business

  • Finding new creative expression through modelling

🎧 This is a story of strength, softness, and stepping fully into your power

Tune in if you’re ready to step off autopilot and into bold, values-driven action.
