WHAT YOU WILL HEAR
My guest for The Happy Hour # 231 is Nicole Walters. Nicole is a former six-figure corporate executive who woke up every morning feeling stuck in the life she built for herself. Using her corporate skills, she took to the internet and built a multi-seven figure business showing others how they can build a life they love. Nicole and her husband reside in Atlanta and are parents to their three beautiful girls.
You guys, Nicole is a rock star with her business, but what I think you're going to love about our conversation today is her encouragement that we can let our light shine no matter where God has placed us. Nicole and I start off the show talking about her first side hustle that began with shaving her head, plus more side hustles all leading to a live stream of her quitting her corporate job. Nicole also shares how in the midst of all of that craziness, she and her husband came to adopt their three daughters. Nicole then opens up about her faith journey and what it's been like to be a “faith-forward” business owner. I loved hearing her speak about how her faith is simply how she does business. In our culture where we may feel uncertain how to share our faith, Nicole encourages authenticity, honesty, and vulnerability. I think she summed it up pretty well when she said, “If I can tell you what type of undies I wear, why can't I tell you I pray.”

Loved this episode! What a positive, enthusiastic person. God gives these gifts to certain people, and He has definitely blessed Nicole with the gift of encouragement and motivation. So glad she’s using those gifts for the Kingdom!
Can you by chance link the period undies Nichole uses?!
I would love a link to the period panties from Amazon she referenced!!!
Dear Nicole, I’m an avid Jamie Ivey podcast listener. I heard you reference the Youtube video in your interview and was curious about it so I just watched it. (I love Jamie’s expression “you do you”. And her message that we can walk through life as better people when we chose not to compete with other women, but we can choose to be supportive of one another. And respectful, and even embracing our differences.) I’m horrified. Tearing down someone for doing life differently than you is just small, petty and cruel. If this situation was reversed, and that mom was inside commenting about your leg size, hobbies, style choices, sound of your voice, how would you feel? What are you teaching your daughters by posting this publicly and acting with such hatred and venom towards another woman? Shame on you.
Jamie, I honestly just lost a little respect for you for not calling this out as mom-shaming and cyber bullying. This is my first comment I’ve ever sent in, and I’m so sorry it had to be a negative one. But I cannot see hatred glossed over as humor. I hope you would address mom-shaming and mom-bullying in a future episode and use Nicole’s video as an example.
Girl, you forgot to post this link in your show notes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHK2AEQWCss
I’m curious to know what other listeners of yours think of this viral video. I was horrified when I watched it. Nicole calls herself self-deprecating but I think its hatred veiled as humor. She tears down another mom, in front of thousands of people, for her style choices, leg size, hobbies, and sound of her voice. Sometimes we get things wrong, Jamie, but I don’t hear Nicole apologizing for her cruelty. I hope you re-watch and re-consider the video and address it.
