Today’s guest is the radiant Nicole Ahlander - a true citizen of the world. Born in Romania, raised in Spain, educated in Sweden, and now rooted in the magic of Marbella.  Fluent in five languages, Nicole’s journey has taken her from a small village and a Catholic school with monks… to the world of startups, global corporations, and digital marketing.  But it was through navigating postpartum depression that she discovered a deeper calling — one that led her to Bali, to yoga, and eventually to leading wellness in the workplace.  Today, Nicole seamlessly blends business with inner healing as a Wellness Visionary, Yoga Teacher, and Transformational Event Curator.  This episode is a soulful conversation about resilience, reinvention, and creating from the heart.
