Bona and Team Capsho ,

A beautiful listen!

Nicky’s wisdom, personal experience and passion shines through with each episode. Her insights that foster confidence and promote a shift from merely surviving to truly thriving. Her thoughtful and encouraging words gently remind listeners that no matter the obstacles, it's going to be okay. A supportive space where you can find practical advice and reassurance in your journey of overcoming mental health struggles.

From Bona and Team Capsho

author of You Can't Eat Love ,

It is time for honest conversations

Now, more than ever, we need to be pulling back the curtain and get real about being a mother. Nicky honestly shares her struggles and has guests on that do the same. I wish this podcast had been around when I was raising my children. I did have an opportunity to be a guest and she is as warm and real in person as she appears to be on the podcast
