I’m sharing what it actually feels like to be in a creative season where nothing feels linear, my nervous system is sensitive, and I keep bumping up against the part of me that wants to throw in the towel.

If you’re someone who’s also sensitive, quietly rebellious, allergic to rigid structure, or just plain tired of pretending the creative process is clean, consistent, and “high vibe” all the time, then this one's a love letter for you.

I talk about:

• Coming out of a burnout wave and rebuilding trust with my own rhythm
• The energy rollercoaster of the past month and what’s helped regulate me
• The magic of co-regulating with people I trust and how momentum can be contagious
• Navigating rejection sensitivity and the fear that I’m “too much” or “too inconsistent” to be understood
• Why the mess almost always comes before the clarity
• My creative process as a neurodivergent mama who craves structure but also resists it deeply
• Letting ideas crumble and reconfigure, like building block towers with my toddler
• Learning not to run someone else’s race, and instead trusting my pace, even when it’s slow or weird or different
• Why I believe missed shots in business don’t mean anything about ME

If you’re in a tender season, stuck in the swirl of too many ideas, grieving a past offer that didn’t land, or questioning your pace, I hope this episode feels like a soft exhale.

You’re not behind. You’re just building something honest that probably looks more like web, instead of a ladder!

As always, I'd love to hear what stirs or lands for you in this conversation. Send me an unscripted voice note on IG (@nicolepasveer) and let me know!

I waited over a month for a date night and when it finally happened, I ended up soooo anxious and crying in the bathtub LOL

In this episode, I tell the whole story including how I ended the evening with a potent reminder about the power of curiosity

As well as:

✨ Why “doing all the right things” doesn’t always regulate your nervous system

✨ How birth and business both ask for deep trust

✨ What to do when you’re spiraling and your tools aren’t working

✨ The surprising role curiosity plays in soothing your system

This one’s tender, personal but I'm confident you'll find threads to resonate with!

Concepts like matrescence and the nervous system are getting more attention, FINALLY! But as they become buzzwords, they’re often watered down, overgeneralized, and stripped of the nuance they deserve.

In this episode, we are sooooooo excited to talk about our new upcoming training centered on the maternal nervous system.

This training will explore why the maternal nervous system is the missing link in most matrescence conversations, and how the information we’re sharing with you will completely change the way you serve mothers. You’ll leave with new knowledge, perspectives, and connections that you can bring into your work to add more IMPACT and a more holistic approach to serving mothers. When we understand the unique nervous system changes that take place in mothers, we can better support them through the wildness of motherhood.

Nicole and Lauren gather just ahead of the full moon to share honest updates and reflections on life, business, and the ever-changing seasons of motherhood. Our biggest intention for this episode is to give you a big behind the scenes peek into our process behind launching and refining our latest offering, Held—a community designed for mother-serving professionals. We openly discuss the little pivots and “course corrections” we’ve made, the importance of play and spaciousness in the creative process, and how responding to YOUR feedback and our own needs has shaped our business in a deeply embodied way.

As usual there’s also a sprinkling of so many juicy topics waiting for you from:

• Our usual energy/cycle/life updates (including iron infusions, birthday months, and new kittens!)
• The acceptance of and identity shifts of neurodivergence
• Honoring different seasons in business and motherhood
• Navigating ambition, capacity, and the myth of one-size-fits-all strategy
• Balancing “people pleasing” with true responsiveness and evolution
• Fullness vs. busyness: Reframing your perception of life’s demands
• The importance of slow growth, prioritizing relationships over transactions, and letting action (not overthinking) shape the next right steps in entrepreneurship
• Finally, we’re sharing our biggest piece of advice for any other space holding entrepreneurs out there

You'll find plenty of relatable insights about honoring your own rhythm, letting go of rigidity, and building community in ways that are truly nourishing. Whether you’re here for reflections on motherhood, inspiration for your own creative ventures, or just to feel a little more connected to these 2 silly weirdos, there’s magick in this episode for you.

What happens when the structures and routines you built to support yourself… stop working?

What if you’re not lazy, just in a different season?

And honestly, WTF does lazy even mean?

What does it say about you if you’re less “productive” than usual? (And… what is usual?)

In this episode, recorded barefoot on my deck (yep, you’ll hear the wind #sorrynotsorry), I’m sharing what’s been moving through my client work, and through my own body.

There’s a quiet but fierce call to stop pushing, stop obeying the inner cop, and finally let our rhythms shift. To let the supports evolve, instead of assuming something’s broken just because it stopped working. And to recognize that it might not be clairity you're seeking in life + biz, it's actually self trust.

You'll hear:

• A powerful client breakthrough around non-linear motivation and internalized “shoulds”
• Why apathy, numbness, and stillness can feel unsafe (and what to do with that)
• How to use my Cycle of Creation prompts to track your real rhythm, NOT the one capitalism trained you to crave
• A permission slip to soften, recalibrate, and trust your pace again
• Details on my ALIVE sessions + the birthday bundle I’ve put together for this summer

This isn’t about hacking your energy or getting more done.

It’s about listening deeply.

Letting yourself be changed.

And trusting that your rhythm (no matter how messy, quiet, or non-linear) is sacred.

Exhale with me. You’re right on time.

Let these become *almost* daily reflections to PLAY with

• Date:
• I’m on cycle day...
• Current lunar phase:
• Energy level rating (1–5) — and describe:
• Creative flow rating (1–5) — and describe:
• My body is feeling...
• My mind is saying...
• I choose to believe (affirm)...
• Ta-da list (what I did, not what I should’ve):
• Ways I experienced abundance (or another word that describes what you're wanting to feel in this season):
• A moment to remember:

As always, I'd love to hear what stirs or lands for you in this conversation. And let me know if you end up tracking your own creative rhythm! Send me an unscripted voice note on IG (@nicolepasveer) and let me know!

A little riff in the car sharing what’s been alive in my world lately and extending a gentle invitation to soften the grip, sprinkle in some silliness, and take a deep exhale.

Your business doesn't need to feel like a never ending and rigid self-improvement project to be successful

If you’ve been feeling the tension between wanting to build a sustainable business and secretly fantasizing about deleting Instagram… you’re not alone LOL. But I firmly believe that the pace we grow our business at IS the pace we maintain it at, so it's crucial we stop treating rest, play, and joy as something to earn

In this episode, I speak to:

• Why fulfillment, satisfaction, and even joy don’t have to wait until your next big income month (yep, it’s safe to feel good now)
• The real talk on craving external validation, and why it doesn’t make you needy or unevolved
• How I’m unlearning the myth of “toxic consistency” while still showing up in a way that feels honest and grounded
• The magic that unfolds when we let business be a little more playful, a little less serious

As always, I'd love to hear what stirs or lands for you in this conversation. Send me an unscripted voice note on IG (@nicolepasveer) and let me know!

Buckle up. This one’s a ride.

We honestly joked that the whole thing could’ve just been a blooper reel LOL but buried inside the Moana 2 quotes, pizza-cupcake metaphors, fat cat analogies, and all the giggles…

There’s something real here. Something tender. Something we both needed to say out loud, and maybe you needed to hear??

We hold our usual nuance and throughout this episode of Musings & Magick, we tumble through:

• The guilt and shame around wanting “too much”
• The difference between curated echo chambers and real, messy community
• The tug-of-war between honoring our natural limits and still longing for more
• Letting go of labels like “lazy” or “productive” and just meeting ourselves where we are

If you’ve ever felt like you’re too much or not enough…

If you’ve craved a life or business that doesn’t ask you to hustle through your exhaustion…

If you’ve wondered whether your desires were holy or selfish or both…

This one’s for you.

Take a deep breath, love.

This conversation is full of real life, big questions, sideways laughter, and sacred tangents. It’s messy. It’s nourishing. It’s a reminder that you’re not alone, and you’re not doing it wrong.

Things We’re Chewing On:

• “Everything can be medicine, everything can be poison.” (Thank you, Quiddist, inspired by her recent Beyond Dogma series)
• The quiet ways we limit ourselves, and the wild permission of Mother energy to want more.
• Why your business has to run through your own filter. (Seriously, are you baking cupcakes with a pizza recipe?)
• Trusting your pace. Even when it’s slower than you expected. Especially then.

This episode is a soft rebellion.

A love song for your enoughness.

A nudge to come home to the wisdom of your body and the truth of your desire.
