In the premiere episode of Season 5, Nicole opens up about her journey of choosing herself and living with purpose, not just because trauma forced her to do so, but because it's what's right for her. She shares how recent experiences—from moving cities to a sudden health scare—have shaped what it means to be here for herself. Nicole also emphasizes that living purposefully isn't always about grand life-changing moments, but that it can simply be about living authentically, which also requires immense courage and patience.
