My Why

Hi! I’m Nichole, your self-proclaimed Life Encourager. My mission in life is to inspire, assist, and encourage you to become the best version of yourself.

As a Life Encourager, I guide people through their personal growth journeys, sharing tools and insights that empower them to become their best selves. Through my own experiences of overcoming challenges, I’ve discovered powerful ways to transform life’s obstacles into opportunities for growth.This passion emerged from my own journey of personal growth following some traumatic challenges. Between 2015 and 2019, I experienced three second-trimester miscarriages—at 16 weeks in 2015, 20 weeks and 5 days in 2017, and 21 weeks and 6 days in 2018. Each loss left me feeling defeated, deflated, and hopeless. After the last miscarriage, I struggled to find my way forward and struggled to truly live again. In early 2019, I made a conscious decision to embrace life again. I embarked on a journey of deep self-discovery, finding ways to encourage myself and become the best version of me.

This was a pivotal year in my life as I began to utilize different techniques and tools to inspire, encourage and assist me to be come the best version of me. I didn’t want to keep this to myself so I am here to share those techniques with the hopes of encouraging you to be the best version of you. So, I am Nichole, your self proclaimed “Life Encourager”, where my mission in life is to inspire, assist and encourage you to be the best version of you. Yea You!!!

Who am I

I’m from the beautiful island of Jamaica and migrated to the United States at age 18, settling in the Great Lakes state of Michigan. Why Michigan? (I get asked that often!) I chose it because I had family there and it was comforting to have familiar faces in an unfamiliar place.

Fast forward a few years, several degrees, and a beautiful marriage to my wonderful husband Duran—life has had its ups and downs, with sideways and backward steps along the way. While we struggled to start a family, after 10 years of marriage we finally welcomed our son Ayden.

Those 10 years of waiting weren’t easy, but I found ways to navigate through it all—one encouraging thought at a time.Through life’s ups and downs, this website grew from my own journey of self-encouragement. I realized that while encouraging myself, I could extend that same support to others.

I am an Electrical Engineering Manager leading a highly engaged team of over 30 engineers and technicians. I enjoy solving problems, reading, and spending cozy afternoons catching up on Netflix series. I love baking, cooking, arts and crafts, and staying organized with my planner. Above all, I love God, my husband Duran, my son Ayden, family, and my friends.

I hope you enjoy your time here!

ARE YOU READY?

We all face difficult experiences in life—some downright devastating. After my losses, I had to find ways to become a better version of myself. Instead of remaining bitter, I chose to embrace my experiences and grow from them through tools and techniques like gratitude journaling. I’m here to share these techniques with you, helping you become the best version of yourself. So join me on this journey of self-improvement and growth.
