    Emotionally Numbness Espisode
    I've never really listened to a full episode in a podcast. Came across the most recent "Emotionally Numbness ", and words can't explain the tears I cried listening to it, due to it being my current situation. It's like God led me to this episode. It was vulnerable yet raw and full of so many emotions that I could relate to! Thank you for this episode it helped me in so many ways you have no idea! May God keep blessing your podcast! I'm a fan always❤️❤️

    Hypocritical
    It is really off putting to hear you espouse the virtues of purity culture while choosing to do something different accompanied by excuses for why you’re doing something different, but continue to tell other people that they shouldn’t. It’s giving rules for thee and not for me. Either it is important or it’s not; do what you want but it’s so hypocritical to make special excuses for yourself while holding other people to puritanical standards. Own your choices, allow other people to own theirs. Don’t judge behaviour of others that looks like your own. Maybe they have their reasons or excuses as well. Maybe it’s not actually harmful. Maybe sprinting to the altar so you can save money on rent and sleep together is actually really bad advice. Be honest. If it were actually a bad thing you would not be doing it.

    Raw & Real Emotion
    I found your podcast through TikTok. I usually don’t listen to podcasts, but yours really intrigued me because your emotions are raw and real. I can relate to the things you share with your listeners and sometimes it gets me emotional too. As someone who does not practice faith, I find that although you do and you include it in your episodes, its not overwhelming and taking over your episode. It’s done in a gentle way and I really respect and appreciate that. Thank you for sharing all of what you do and I hope you continue to keep the podcast going!! Can’t wait for more.

    Why I can’t stop living in survival mode
    I just want to stop in and say I’m glad I found your podcast, I am struggling so hard to find my self and I’m married and have 2 kids and a doggy! I love my family so much, I’m just so lost and can’t figure out how to get out of survival mode.

    ❤️
    Helped me so much, I love this podcast and her boyfriend David Kushner’s music they both helped me get thru a lot of anxiety and depression and dealing with past trauma.❤️ Btw Nicole never fails to make me smile with this podcast. I love you girl you are not alone! ❤️✝️ (You are literally kinda my therapist lol)

    Same childhood
    This podcast has helped me so much. My mother is a drug addicted, dad was an alcoholic. I actually feel like this is saving me. Thank you
  • Kaydence French:)
    Intentional and Genuine
    This podcast has helped me struggle gracefully. She uses raw, and authentic struggles within her own life to show others that they’re not alone. She loves so intentionally by speaking life into situations that aren’t really talked about. If you’re struggling with healing, or self reflection I highly recommend listening.🤍🐘
  • Lily. A
    Amazing insight
    Just listened to my first episode. Thank you so much, you don’t know how much I needed to hear what you said about healthy boundaries. 🙏
  • Stevenrockin8
    Finally
    Finally something that is REAL and RAW. Finally someone whose story sounds like mine. In 37 yrs I’ve never listened to someone speak about their life experiences like Nicole has and be able to relate. I found Elephants in the Room on TikTok and call it divine intervention or whatever you’d like but I was at a very dark time in my life and considering trying therapy again and once I started listening to this podcast, things started to change for the better. It’s almost like she saved my life. Thank you for being so vulnerable with your truth. You’re making a difference in the world and healing souls. 🤍
  • NicoleFangirl
    Genuine & Real
    This podcast is so warm to listen to. Not only to know you are not alone, but also because Nicole just shows the light of Jesus in every episode without being pushy or making the podcast just about faith. It’s real and raw. It’s comforting. PS to Nicole - your voice is so soothing to me idk what it is but I love listening to you speak with such passion and love.

  • Shaydeany
    So real so raw soo soo good.
    I found this podcast at the exact moment I needed it. I have no doubt it was spirit led. It is truly encouraging. God bless you on your continued journey and thank you for blessing me with your realness and truth.
  • Lexi541
    Wow.
    This episode was actually the first I have ever FULLY listened to. I have otherwise just watched your TikTok clips & it led me to eventually hearing the whole picture of ur stories/experiences. Bringing up the relationship with your mother hit very close to home for me. My mother struggles with her own addiction & MH problems, which led to me ending that relationship too, bc it wasn’t healthy for me to keep her in my life (like you had mentioned). I just wanted you to know it’s very hard to be the child of an addict but you aren’t alone. I work with individuals with addiction, for my job, on the daily. I often deal with the clients family & it’s definitely hard to hear them want the best for their loved one & the client choosing not to push for that better lifestyle & notice the support system they have. It’s okay to let people go, if it’s what your heart/mind need. I used to let others try & tell me “you need to forgive her, it’s your mother” but it’s VERY hard to keep them around when it’s not bringing you any good. Allow yourself to accept that you need to keep those boundaries in place to protect yourself. You are strong & you are amazing; remember that ❤️‍🩹

    Amazing podcast
    I found this pod on TikTok watched a few clips and decided to listen to a few pod. I’m hooked instantly even as a male a lot of this is relatable and has helped me with some of my personal struggles. This is one of the best podcast I’ve ever listened to honest to god.
  • aalannyse
    Just one episode
    Only took one episode. Nicole came across my TikTok for you page in a time I found myself needing to hear this exact message. I needed these words. I know I’m not alone. Thank you for your vulnerability.

    Amazing
    Nicole has such a way in making you not feel alone. She’s genuine, kind and truly makes you feel heard and scene. I love it!
  • The log 556
    such a blessing!
    Elephants in the room is so real and relatable. I feel like Nicole speaks straight to how I’m feeling and things I’ve been processing. I understand more of myself through her vulnerability. It’s like listening to a friend. She not only blesses me but blesses God for using her gifts and testimony for His glory. 💗
  • Paigepg92
    Mindset changer
    I’m not one to write reviews but I’ve listened to every single podcast so far and in just a few days I feel like I am starting be understand more of me and who I am. This podcast has also brought me closer to god again. If you are feeling lost or struggling with a life struggle I HIGHLY suggest this podcast.

    This was a much needed reminder in my heartbreak that God is in control, has a plan, and isn’t far from me when I need him. Thanks for sharing your story and encouragement and praying for me. I appreciate all of it immensely.

    The realist
    The one thing I super appreciate by just listening to the first two episodes, is that Nicole keeps it real and transparent. She’s really out here addressing the elephants in the room. Can’t wait for more episodes!

  • Jordan 😬
    first time listener
    i absolutely love this podcast so far. your voice first of all 😍 i love how real and vulnerable you are. my favorite line of we are all going through something was “don’t rob yourself of the small moments of joy just because you’re going through something” !!
