Despite being the “good daughter” who followed the rules, attended Bible school, and married a pastor, Suzanne found herself in a long and difficult marriage that echoed many of the emotional and financial challenges of her upbringing. Through years of verbal and emotional abuse, financial hardship, and silenced faith, she eventually made the courageous decision to leave—for the sake of her daughter, and for herself.

Since then, Suzanne has rebuilt her life with purpose and intention. From working at Starbucks and returning to school to become an Educational Assistant, to now helping other families understand and manage their money, Suzanne has doubled her income and found her voice. Her story is one of deep transformation, healing, and rediscovered faith.

Today, she stands as a testament to what is possible when we choose to leave survival behind and step into healing. Suzanne’s journey will move you, challenge you, and remind you that even from the hardest places, it is possible to rise.

Her turning point came when she checked herself into a hospital for her mental health—an act of courage that launched her into a decade-long healing journey. From working with a shaman to becoming a personal trainer and coaching over a thousand people, she chased success until she realized that healing required more than hustle.

Now a guide for other women, she weaves together spirituality, energetic alignment, and lived wisdom to help mothers reclaim their worth and rewrite their stories. With vulnerability and strength, she speaks about setting boundaries, embracing divine identity, and the sacred role of the mother in healing the entire family system.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode, this conversation will meet you where you are—and gently show you what’s possible on the other side

At 13, she found ballet. For a time, it was sanctuary and purpose, but the perfectionism and punishing demands of elite dance took their toll. By 18, Nicole walked away from the stage and into an identity crisis. What followed was a years-long spiral through addiction, fueled by pain, disconnection, and a search for self she couldn’t yet name.

Art was the thread that never snapped. Even in her darkest moments—through drug use, relapse, and the loss of her best friend to overdose—Nicole stayed tethered to creativity. It was her way of surviving, and eventually, healing.

Recovery wasn’t linear. Her father’s intervention, early access to Vancouver’s safe injection sites, and a growing spiritual awareness all played a role in pulling her back. But it was her own relentless self-inquiry—her refusal to abandon the search for meaning—that led her to something deeper.

Today, Nicole speaks on addiction, identity, and spiritual awakening—not through the lens of doctrine, but through lived experience. Her message is clear: until we know ourselves, we can’t trust ourselves—and without trust, we can’t fully live. Nicole’s work is a call to wake up, reconnect, and remember who we really are

Some stories break your heart before they heal it. Today’s guest is one of those stories.

Taylor is a mother of three, a survivor of addiction, and a living, breathing reminder that rock bottom is not the end — it’s often the beginning.

For years, Taylor’s life was a cycle of sobriety and relapse — a tug-of-war between her love for her children and the grip of addiction. She’s faced homelessness, slept in cars, and did whatever she had to do to survive. But addiction doesn’t care about survival — it pulls you deeper until something — or someone — pulls you out.

For Taylor, that ‘something’ was a yoga studio. A place she walked into broken, but left with tools that would completely change her life. Today, she’s a trauma informed yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner, helping other addicts find peace, healing, and hope through practices that once found her at her lowest.”
