  • Meet Samantha, Perspective of a Graduating Senior in College :: Episode 7

    Host Nicole Davison is joined by Samantha Berry, a Marketing major at Quinnipiac University. Berry shares how Carrie Bradshaw inspired her dream of living in New York City as a Marketing Director.

    As a college senior, Berry’s view on her education, career, and workforce completely transformed when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Despite the uncertainty, by surrounding herself with goal-oriented women in her sorority and growing her record painting business on the side, Berry persevered.

    Berry continues to evaluate her purpose and has taken the pressure off of the idea of the “perfect job” since the pandemic. Although the pandemic was lonesome, she recognizes how she has grown from it and is excited for her future ahead of her.

  • The Importance of Empathy & Compassion :: Episode 6

    Sometimes you really need to step back in order to take a few steps forward. In today’s episode, host Nicole Davison opens up about the importance of empathy and compassion. 

    Upon reading Steven Covey’s, “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” in college, Nicole realized that amidst life’s craziness and small moments in everyday life, you truly never know what someone is going through. Even amidst the busiest and happiest times of our lives grief and sadness have ways of creeping in. It is important to find compassion for others, even on days where it feels like the world is crumbling around you.

  • Open Barre with Ashley :: Episode 5

    I am so inspired by my guest on today's episode, Ashley Palumbo.  We talk about so many different things from college to her career in tv production and more because I simply love her story on so many levels!  

    As a Career Coach, I get the opportunity to work with a lot of clients, and every aspect of Ashley's career journey I find absolutely inspiring. In this episode of Unpacking Perspectives, We unpack Ashley's career and life experience into where she started, where she is now, and how our life's journey can often take us down a path that we never even planned for.  

    From the start of her career, entering an industry that so many only dream of, to at one point, walking away to find a balance in her life.  In every part of this story, you can find inspiration.

    Nicole sheds a light on her anxiety growing up versus now, and how she copes with it. Through this episode, she aims to help those who experience anxiety recognize that they are not alone. You can do this. You are loved. You are not a burden. You matter. It is okay to ask for help when you need it.

  • Unpacking My Perspective :: Epsiode 1
    Perspective: a particular way of viewing things that depends on one’s experiences and personality. 


    In this episode, Nicole shares her vision for the podcast and what experiences have shaped her perspective. Her titles include Board Certified Career Coach and Counselor, Professor, Mother, and Law Enforcement Wife. She expresses the hardships she’s been through and the badges she wears, Motherless daughter and Parentless parent. These challenges have shaped her into the person she is today, and have given her perspective.


    She aims to use her podcast as a platform to have vulnerable and open conversations. We have so much to learn from each other. We just need to remember to listen to one another, even when the other voice is one we may not necessarily agree with or even understand. Nicole’s hope is that this podcast will help you say, “huh, I never thought of it that way”. To Nicole, that is growth of one’s perspective.
