307: On Taking January Slow—and Saving the Visioning for Later
The Blair Badenhop Show
In this episode, I’m letting go of the pressure to “start strong” in January — and maybe giving you permission to do the same.

This week, I’m sharing why I’m not beginning 2026 with a grand plan, a detailed vision board, or a perfectly mapped-out set of intentions. Instead, I’m choosing the slowness of winter, the simplicity of small tasks, and the honesty of meeting myself exactly where I am. Inside, I talk about: The moment...

Even though everything around me looked perfect.

info_outlineNicole Jardim is a Certified Women’s Health Coach, the Author of Fix Your Period, and the host of the Period Party podcast. She has developed education and offerings that empower women to reclaim their hormone health using a method that combines evidence-based information with simplicity and sass.
Her work has impacted the lives of tens of thousands of people around the world by addressing the root cause of what’s really going on in their bodies and minds rather than treating just their symptoms. She passionately believes that the fundamentals to healing any hormone imbalance lie in addressing the unique physiology of every woman.
Nicole is also the founder of the Institute for Menstrual Health, which offers training programs, mentorship and resources for an international community of women's health practitioners and coaches. Through its signature program the Women’s Hormone Health Certification, Nicole teaches other health practitioners and coaches the fundamentals of hormones, menstrual cycles and fertility.
Her expertise has been featured in The Guardian, Well+Good, mindbodygreen and Healthline.
So, Nicole and I have known each other for over a decade now. Back in the day, we both lived in NYC and had a really great mutual circle of friends. And she was actually the first guest I ever had on the show when it started in 2018.
I’m so excited to have her back and for you to listen in on this very honest conversation about what it takes to build a business in the wellness space, and all of the hardships that challenged Nicole along the way that built her resolve and success.
In this episode, we chat about how she stays motivated and inspired by her work in the realm of women’s health and continues to make an impact in that world after more than a decade, her journey landing an amazing book deal and then writing the book, and how it forced her to sacrifice her health and her business in the process, what it was like to navigate the women’s health space on social media during COVID, get attacked by the mob, and building a thriving platform in the face of it all, the inner strength and resolve she’s built to stay committed to her unique path as an expert and how she teaches other women in the industry to do the same, and so much more!
