Welcome to The Mom Enterprise, a weekly podcast hosted by Kendra Martinez featuring working Moms who find a way to manage it all.

Episode Guest: Nicole Gorman

Nicole Gorman was raised in East Central, IL, and continues to call the mid-west her home. Mrs. Gorman is a wife and mother to two and resides in the country, where she and her family spend most of their weekends and evenings outdoors. As a University of Illinois alumni, Mrs. Gorman is a proud Illini, who obtained her Master's Degree in Social Work in 2013 and clinical license (LCSW) in 2016. In 2014, she began employment at the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she now works as a Suicide Prevention Coordinator. Being that she comes from a family of Veterans, Mrs. Gorman has always felt a calling to serve the Veteran population and finds fulfilment in doing so. Although her day job is centered around serious subject matter, Mrs. Gorman finds her personal life is filled with light-hearted humor and joy. In her free time she enjoys watching her two little children grow and learn, exercising with her husband, listening to podcasts, and a new found hobby of blogging.
