We all carry stories about what it takes to want more in life—more joy, more connection, more meaning.

In this episode, Nancy and Nicole explore the deeply ingrained beliefs around effort, sacrifice, and worthiness, and question whether wanting more truly requires doing more.

Along the way, they unpack the subtle but powerful shift from hoping something will work out to trusting yourself enough to receive it.

This is a reflective, real-time conversation about unlearning old assumptions, noticing where ease is already present, and allowing a different way forward to emerge.

This week’s planned episode didn’t feel right to release.

One breath at a time.

Are you pushing because it’s time to push—or because you think you’re supposed to?

In this episode, Nancy and Nicole explore the difference between force and flow—in work, relationships, money, health, and even the seasons of our lives. Using everything from puzzle pieces to travel calendars to Starbucks coffee decisions, they unpack how alignment, values, and intuition often matter more than effort.

This is a real conversation about recognizing when something fits… and having the courage to stop forcing what doesn’t.
