This Malaysian beauty may not look like her neighbors within small town Homer. However, she is fully embedded in the community and close-knit culture of Midwest Americana. From mompreneur to marketing maven, Nicole has been more than busy. This summer she, and many others, have decided to take a step back and slow down.

Listen as Nicole talks about looking different than her childhood classmates, how she handles the haters, growing a thriving online boutique business and a loyal community of women from the ground up, why our generation is scared to stop, slow down, lose followers, likes, momentum. Why do we feel guilty for not constantly producing, creating, pushing forward? Nicole also teases a new venture that has flexed her marketing muscles. Finally, Nicole talks about a miscarriage that made her dive deeper in her faith in order to cope, heal and grow.
