8 Years ago my life took a turn that I wasn’t prepared for…

I would love to say that I didn’t see it coming but after many years of working on myself, I can now look back and recognize all the signs that I chose to ignore. From the outside, my life looked incredible. I had been married for almost 10 years, had two beautiful children and was able to stay home with my kiddos! But on the inside, my life was crumbling. Our marriage was falling apart despite my desperate attempts to save it, my dad (who was one of my favourite people in the whole world) was dying from kidney disease and I was facing down the overwhelming possibility that I’d soon be starting over; emotionally, financially and spiritually.

The day my husband decided to leave was the day I had to face the reality I’d been fearfully avoiding. After 8 years of being home with my children I had to figure out how to provide for us in all areas of our lives. I had to dig deeper than I ever thought possible. How was I going to be able to do this?

My whole identity was challenged and I truly didn’t know who I was. I felt immense shame, guilt and sadness. My future seemed daunting. But even in that darkness, there was this little whisper in my ear saying “you can do this.” I credit this to my dad who used to tell me “I could do anything I put my mind to” when I was a child and that bit of programming was my first step towards my future.

Starting over required taking that first step…

And that step was to find a job that would allow me to still be home with my kids to ease that aspect of our transition. I happened to see one of my good friends join the direct marketing company, Rodan + Fields. I enquired right away and jumped in! I had no idea how it worked or what I could do, but the hours were right, I was going to get great skincare (bonus!), be surrounded by super amazing women and have an opportunity to provide for me children. I was truly terrified but my options at the time seemed limited, so off I went. Joining Rodan + Fields turned out to be a game changer. The women in it lifted me up, taught me the business and showed me what was possible. Within no time I had built a solid business of my own and was being asked to speak on the company’s behalf! I began to see what I was capable of and began developing the resiliency I needed for the next step in my journey.

But I knew I was meant to have a greater impact…

While I loved what I was doing (and still love selling Rodan + Fields today!) I really wanted to have a great impact and help people in a different way. I knew how important my own health journey was to my wellbeing and I’d been a dancer my whole life, so I thought, why not help to get people moving again!

I knew that moving your body was a key element in changing how you felt. So I took all the money I was making in my skincare company and went back to school to be trained as a personal trainer. It was a steep learning curve but was so worth it! After working for a year for FREE (trying to learn all it took to do it) I ended up getting many more clients and Next Step with Nicole Renee was born!

I was so proud of creating my own business and couldn’t wait to see how it would grow. It didn’t take long before I realized that my clients needed more support. Once again, I gathered the funds from personal training and went back to school to become a Certified Health Coach and then a Certified Life Coach. I now felt more complete and had greater tools to help my clients take the next step in their journey. While I was seeing great results with my clients, I began to notice that there was a deeper level of work needed to create the longterm change they were desiring. I began to research further into what creates transformation in our lives and learned more about how the mind works. What I now call the secret to transformation is the use of mindset tools, like hypnotherapy, to create change at a subconscious level. So yes… I went back to school again (no one is surprised at this point lol)!

I became a Certified Hypnotist through the NGH in the US and also became a Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT) through Marisa Peer out of the UK. I now feel that I am so fully equipped to help my clients in all aspects of their lives and create lasting, true transformation for them; mind body and soul.

My own journey and transformation now allows me to guide others through theirs…

This journey has been abolsutely incredible even though it hasn’t always been easy. I’ve also had to learn to train my own mind for success and create a deep belief in me. I’ve had to learn to love myself again by trusting, accepting, valuing and believing in myself In doing so I have found the formula to help my clients do the same. It’s the formula I follow and practice, that has allowed me to go from feeling like my world was collapsing to realizing it was just the beginning of my transformation.

Today I help people see their potential, fall in love with who they are and live a life without regrets!
