Radiant Living

A few weeks after celebrating Luca’s first birthday, Nicole is reflecting on just how much can change in one year. Last July, she was preparing to become a mom. Now she has a little boy who’s walking, laughing, giving hugs—and somehow teaching her more than she ever expected.
In this episode of The Radiant Living Podcast, Nicole shares the five biggest lessons her first year of motherhood taught her:
Why slowing down doesn’t mean falling behind
Learning to let go of control (even when you really, really love a plan)
Protecting your time and getting clear on what actually matters
Caring a whole lot less about other people’s opinions
Learning how to have FUN again
Motherhood has softened her, shifted her priorities, and reminded her that life isn’t just found in the big milestones. It’s in the ordinary Tuesday afternoons, morning cuddles, messy kitchens, family walks, and moments spent on the floor surrounded by toys.
Whether you’re a mom or not, this episode is a reminder to stop rushing toward the next thing and enjoy the life that’s happening right now.

Baby sleep. The topic that can make even the most confident parent question everything.
In this episode of the Radiant Living Podcast, Nicole opens up about navigating the four- and six-month sleep regressions, traveling with a baby, co-sleeping, nursing to sleep, and the moment her nervous system said “no” to the advice that didn’t feel aligned.
She’s joined by Lauren Weber, a baby-led, responsive sleep specialist and founder of Isla-Grace, for a grounded conversation about what baby sleep actually is — developmental, relational, and deeply human.
Together, they explore:
Whether baby sleep truly needs “fixing”
The difference between traditional sleep training and baby-led sleep
Nervous system regulation and nighttime responsiveness
Western culture’s obsession with independence
How to hold structure and intuition at the same time
Encouragement for parents who are exhausted but don’t align with cry-it-out methods
If you’re rocking, nursing, co-sleeping, or simply wondering if you’re doing it “right,” this episode is your reminder: your baby isn’t broken — and you’re allowed to trust yourself.
