116: Trusting The Nudge: Nicole Irwin on Courage, Career Shifts & Creating Your Own Path
The She Shines Podcast | Mindset, Nutrition, LifestyleShow Notes
In this episode, I’m joined by executive leadership advisor and system strategist Nicole Irwin—a powerhouse woman, wife, and mom of three—who shares the courageous story of leaping from a fulfilling, “secure” career in healthcare into the unknown of entrepreneurship. We dive into what it really takes to trust the nudge, navigate the fear of the unknown, and reframe failure as fuel for growth. Nicole’s story isn’t about running from burnout—it’s about boldly running toward expansion, identity shifts, and the deeper calling so many high-achieving women feel.
