NEW PODCAST EPISODE ALERT!!
What if starting over wasn't the end of your story…but the beginning of becoming who you were always meant to be?
When Nicole Rodin left an unhealthy relationship, she knew she was walking away from the life she had built.
What she didn't know was that the very next day, she would lose her job too.
Suddenly, everything changed.
No job. No home of her own. No familiar routine. A move back to Philadelphia after 15 years away. And the realization that she was going to have to rebuild her life from the ground up.
On the newest episode of the BW Nice Podcast, Nicole joins hosts Cindy Caldwell and Jennifer Leary for an incredibly candid conversation about what happened next.
They talk about:
✨ Rebuilding after an unhealthy relationship
✨ Starting over in midlife
✨ Learning to trust your intuition again
✨ Setting boundaries without endlessly second-guessing yourself
✨ Dating from a place of self-trust instead of fear
✨ Knowing what you are—and aren't—willing to tolerate
✨ Finding community, routine and joy again
✨ Choosing partnership because it adds to your life, not because you need it to complete your life
Nicole also shares an important realization she had along the way: you don't have to lose yourself trying to understand someone else.
Sometimes protecting your peace means trusting what you're feeling, honoring your standards and knowing when it's okay to walk away.
And rebuilding? It doesn't happen in one giant, life-changing moment.
It happens through hundreds of small, intentional choices that slowly create a life that feels like yours again.
