177. 6-figure MLM career turned human design / homeschooling (5) / author / spiritual coach The conversation on conscious motherhood continues. In this episode, you’ll meet AmyLee Westervelt, mother of 5, author of “The Colors Inside of Me,” and MLM executive turned spiritual coach. You’ll hear AmyLee’s journey from a multiple six-figure career with an MLM company, to prioritizing her family and starting her spiritual coaching career. AmyLee shares how she applies her expertise in human design to parenting & homeschooling all five of her children, one of whom has a genetic disorder. She met her husband in 2011, who already had five children from a previous marriage. Initially, her plan was to stay home and raise the children, but after being stationed in Alaska, she became a bit of a recluse and started looking for social interaction. She stumbled upon a multi-level marketing company, which she became heavily involved with, prioritizing her business over her family. She eventually started feeling guilty about not spending enough time with her children, as she used to spend up to 10 hours in her office doing her MLM business. Despite providing her children with all their material needs, she felt she was not giving them the attention they needed. AmyLee also discusses her approach to homeschooling, which is child-led and practical, and how human design plays a significant role in her family and how she adjusts her parenting style accordingly. She is the author of a children's book, "The Colors Inside of Me," which is about a little panda who recognizes the colors within himself and his classmates. Each classmate tells him about a color they see in him and the quality that goes along with it. The book is a response to the Martin Luther King Jr. quote that children will be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. The key message of the story is the importance of recognizing different cultures and traditions that exist inside individuals, which make them who they are. As a mother of five, AmyLee discusses how she decides which priorities to focus on in her life as a mother, a business owner, and a spiritual coach. She explains the importance of being playful and allowing oneself to be different, and believes that homogenization is an economic tool used to convince people that they want the same things, which ultimately reduces the cost of production. Differentiation is crucial, and it's up to individuals like us to be stewards of it. We must let our children know that they are allowed to be different and that it is okay not to find validation for their uniqueness in the outside world.

169. Face reading for healing: a botox alternative? with guest Elisabeth Spears 03/14/2023

169. Face reading for healing: a botox alternative? with guest Elisabeth Spears I am thrilled to introduce you to my dear friend, and personal face reader, Elisabeth Spears. In this episode, we talked about all things face readings, how trauma AND healing show up on your face, what some of your lines and wrinkles actually mean, and how healing is an incredibly viable alternative to botox and other face fillers. Also, don’t skip the important message in the beginning. I found it fascinating that my audience asked me several times what skincare products I use - since I definitely DO NOT have perfect skin. Here’s what I took from that: you actually don’t care about perfect. No one actually cares about perfect, whatever that is anyway. We are all looking for REAL people, to share what’s working for them in real life. And since healing has been an important part of my journey, including how my skin looks & feels, it felt important to introduce you to one of the many healing modalities that I’ve used. A little more about our guest: Elisabeth was born and raised in Tennessee, and recently relocated to Montgomery, Alabama to focus on her Face Reading business. She has been an Esthetician for 14 years and in searching for a better way to heal the skin, it led her to becoming a Reiki healer and then to Chinese medicine. Elisabeth is 1 of 2 Pi Fu Juan Jiao (skincare specialist) in America, and she fell in love with healing from the root of the problem instead of throwing bandaids on the problems! Four years ago, Elisabeth found a teacher and mentor Lillian Pearl Bridges, author of ‘Chinese Face Reading.’ Her family lineage was entrusted to her to share with as many people as possible. To say Face Reading transformed my life would be an understatement. Everything is different. Elisabeth is different. All the layers of who she was told that she was - peeled away to reveal her original face, which has been the most freeing and joyful time of her life! Elisabeth’s goal is for everyone to get back to their Original Face and experience the bliss of truly being who you were created to be!

167. You’re Supposed to Evolve! Wave That ‘Wish-Washy’ Flag with Pride 02/28/2023

167. You’re Supposed to Evolve! Wave That ‘Wish-Washy’ Flag with Pride Since when is change, wishy-washy, bad? Since childhood, societal conditioned has told us that we should decide what we want to do when we grow up, and stick to that one thing. Our grandparents did it, our parents did it, but I don't think that's where we're going anymore. I don't think that that's the life that we're supposed to live right now. I don't think we're supposed to do the same thing forever and ever and ever, amen. So if change is calling you, permission granted to make the change, whether it's your Instagram handle, closing your first Facebook group baby of 1,733 people (yes, really), or changing the name of your podcast… again. Which brings me to…Welcome to the Nichole Joy Show. I have known for some time that this change was coming and I've been putting it off until finally, it just felt like the time was correct. And as we're heading into spring, which is a time of rebirth, I believe that this is what we're supposed to do. We're supposed to evolve, we're supposed to change. So yes, the podcast is changing her name again. From Doulas Going Digital in 2019, to Birth Your Online Business in 2022, and now to the Nichole Joy Show. In the coming episodes you can expect to learn and hear through my lens about topics including but not limited to: motherhood, relationship with yourself, relationship with others, learning how to love the shit out of your body, holistic -ish wellness, metaphysical things, spirituality, human design, astrology, and a whole, whole lot more. Having said all of that, allow me to reintroduce myself. I'm Nichole Joy, I'm the host of the Nichole Joy Show. I'm the author of Just Start, the audiobook. I'm a guide in business and in life. I'm a mother to three little people. I'm a 90s RnB fanatic. I'm a big fan of healing and deconditioning in every area of life and rewriting our experiences. It's very nice to meet you. I look forward to continuing to build our relationship together and learning with each other! Let’s Connect: Instagram: /episode/index/show/doulasgoingdigital/id/26074944

162. Frustrated with your social media results? It’s time to rip off the bandaid! 01/24/2023

162. Frustrated with your social media results? It’s time to rip off the bandaid! Quick Announcement: A New Program Comes to the Online Business School this week! The new live program called Standout Online and Grow Your Online Presence is still open and it has available options that fit your business needs and your budget. Join us and experience a full year of new curriculum and new features in the membership! Now for this week’s episode: If your social media strategy includes creating and scheduling 30 - 60+ days of content, learning algorithm hacks, and repurposing like a mother without doing the deeper inner work, then you may be focusing on the surface level, and putting a bandaid on your social media strategy. I’m talking about hiding behind your logo, not really being yourself, not showing your face, and not really connecting with your audience, to name a few. You may be putting a bandaid over a deeper issue. Let me explain. I’m not a doctor, but I will tell you that one of my gripes with western medicine is that it tends to favor bandaids. It doesn’t usually seek out the root cause of the symptom. While the band aid might ‘fix’ or mask symptoms, it doesn’t really do anything for the deeper issue, and it doesn’t really make it go away. Most of the time, it makes the underlying stuff fester. Whether we’re talking about your health or your business, if you’re stopping at the surface level of building an online presence, you might find yourself spinning your wheels to get a logo, branded graphics, create loads of content… And still have no clients, no inquiries. And therefore, no business revenue. I say all of this because I’ve been there. For the first year in my own business, I lived the bandaid life when it came to my social media presence. I had a logo, branded graphics & a list of quotes / affirmations in constant rotation. And for a long time, I was still making $0. Then I finally uncrossed my arms and decided to look at what was underneath the bandaid. And I can tell you, that the more I do the inner work, the more I take down the walls on my online presence, the more connected I feel with my community online. And… the easier it is for me to connect with my dreamy soul clients - and for them to find me. So if you have all the bells and whistles for your social media strategy but find yourself still not getting any sales, then I invite you to go deeper. If you’d like my support & guidance along your journey, this is exactly what we’re doing this quarter in the Online Business School.

161. What I’d tell my best friend BEFORE she starts an online business 01/17/2023

161. What I’d tell my best friend BEFORE she starts an online business Quick Announcement: Online Business School is open for enrollment! We will have an all-new curriculum with new features starting this quarter on January 22nd. We’ll be starting with learning how to grow your online presence for this quarter, and you are welcome to join us whether you prefer to join for just this quarter or stay for the whole year! > Online Business School NOW ENROLLING < > Q1 in OBS: Stand Out Online & Grow Your Online Presence < Now for this week’s episode: I’ve seen a lot of, and to some extent, contributed to the message that starting a business online is easy, effortless, and that all you need is a cell phone and some wifi. While those things can be true: I do believe there are ways to make it easier and more effortless, and for most things a cell phone will do… there is more to it. It’s still A LOT. And sugarcoating entrepreneurship feels like it’s not serving you. Preparing you for one of the ultimate life transformations, entrepreneurship (outside of motherhood, being in relationship & grief, IMO), feels important. Not in a gatekeeper, scare tactics way…But in a ‘prepare me the best you can, so that this business ownership ride is smoother’ way Because here’s the thing: Yes it’s AMAZING. Yes I wouldn’t trade it for cubicle life. Yes it fulfills my soul on a DEEP level. BUT it’s not always easy because I am a human, with real emotions and very real rude mental chatter, navigating this journey that veers off the standard program. Putting myself out there again and AGAIN. So let’s normalize some of the previously sugarcoated things about starting an online business. But first, ask yourself WHY. Why business? Why online? Why a social media presence? Because if you can go in, knowing that even with the hard parts, it’ll all be worth it, your experience navigating the roller coaster will be smoother, with more ease. Here are the 4 things I’d tell my best friend before she starts an online business: #1 - It takes work. There are hardly ever quick fixes. Yes, there are the people who are genetically designed to have a clear path to ‘success’ and a 26 inch waist. But for the majority of us, we have to get up and DO the things to build our desires - whether that’s booty gains or a dreamy business. #2 - You’ll need Faith. You’ll need this when it looks like things aren’t working. It’s easier to have faith in the corporate safety program, because there’s a ton of evidence around us that it works. Building a dream business, though? There isn’t as much evidence, you have to believe it before you see it. #3 - Learn to navigate ‘failure.’ In my experience, a lot of us ‘fail’ a lot before we succeed. So if you’re in it for the long run, you might as well get all comfy and cozy with foul balls and strikes. The quicker you learn how to move through the feelings associated with “failure” and don’t allow it to stick, or mean something about you, the quicker you’ll grow. #4 - Embrace being imperfect. To all of the people pleasers of the room: there will be people who don’t vibe with you or your work. And that’s okay. It just means that they are not your people, and you will eventually find yours. There are so many things that any aspiring online business owner needs to know, but I’m curious, what part resonated with you the most? If you’re already in business, what would you add to this list?

160. Wanna Guarantee That Your Business Dreams Will Come True, Start with Removing the Time Piece 01/10/2023

160. Wanna Guarantee That Your Business Dreams Will Come True, Start with Removing the Time Piece Quick Announcement: All new curriculum in the online business school! We will start having quarter by quarter topics and ongoing support in between for people inside the online business school container. You'll be able to join individual quarters as a standalone, or join just one quarter if that's what you prefer. And if you are a member in the online business school, you would get to come to all of them. Now for this week’s episode: I spoke to some of my clients after getting back from the holidays, and found out that most of them were not feeling that “New Year jumpstart energy” just yet. They were not vibing with it and they still felt very much like they were recovering. But guess what, even I did not have everything planned out – and I even made a planner! And it wasn’t because I wasn’t ready yet. It was mostly because of the energy wasn't supportive of me doing that just yet. Our bodies during this season naturally want to pull inward, hibernate, and rest as we experience the cold of winter. But because we are conditioned to adhere to the Gregorian Calendar which is most commonly accepted throughout the world, we feel like we have to go start to kick-off a new year just like everybody else. The thing is, this calendar might not be in alignment with our body's rhythm. And that’s okay. If January 1st isn't your preference, you have options. There are alternatives that you can try out and see what feels correct for you. You can approach this concept of playing with time as it pertains to your dreams and your goals in your business, from a different lens. If you want your dreams to become inevitable and guaranteed to happen, then do this: drop the arbitrary date. You will not quit your dream just because you did not hit a benchmark by December 31st of an arbitrary time. You will do whatever it takes no matter how long it takes to reach your dreams. That’s when your dreams become a guarantee. So my advice to you is: what if you drop the date and take off the limits to your dreams, your goals, whatever, and move forward? No matter how long it takes, what do you think might happen then? Let’s Connect: Instagram: Stand Out Online: Grow Your Online Presence: /episode/index/show/doulasgoingdigital/id/25559436

159. FREE 2023 Business Planning Party & you're invited! 12/09/2022

158. Bring your passive course to LIFE with this tip 12/06/2022

158. Bring your passive course to LIFE with this tip Quick announcement: note that my holiday bazaar of 50% off courses AND my new audiobook is still going on. I decided to keep it going through 12/31/22 to allow you more space to decide what’s best for you. AND, all course members (of any course) are invited to a bonus strategy session this Thursday, 12/8. This is a great opportunity to ask me questions about how to apply what you’re learning in the courses to YOUR business. And if you need guidance, get in my DMs or email me and I’m happy to help. I have a lot of curriculum at this point, so I’m here to help you find exactly what would be the most supportive of you at this point in your journey, even if that’s a specific podcast episode. Course menu: Audiobook ‘Just Start’: Now for this week’s episode: Sooooo many of you want to build a mostly passive business. Meaning, you create resources for people to learn from you on their own time, so that you can help your community, while living your life, taking care of your littles, and just BEing. A few examples of passive products in my business include: Self-paced or on-demand workshops / classes/ courses Other digital resources: e-books, audiobook, guides, checklists In my business: the pregnancy library (cheat sheets, birth plan), the virtual doula’s content toolkit and a collection of online business courses Here’s the thing that I learned about passive courses (over 200 people have purchased my business courses, another 250ish have taken my online birth courses, plus another 150+ have accessed my business courses through other support containers) a lot of people may purchase a course, yet only a percentage of them actually watch it. Now, I do believe that you don’t HAVE to watch every single minute of every single course that you purchase to get what you need out of it. I trust you to lead yourself to exactly what YOU need, when you need it. And still, as a heart-centered entrepreneur, I don’t want you to just buy my courses. I want you to watch at least some of the modules and more importantly, take action & apply some of what you’ve learned. You’re not going to build a 6-figure online business by collecting digital courses. No matter how deeply discounted they are. And that doesn’t really help anybody. We want to HELP our people. I want to HELP you take action. I actually feel like my job in this respect is two-fold: 1) to help you expand the way that you think about the various topics that I teach on, and 2) to help you take action. So here’s my tip. I started this back in March of 2020 and LOVED it. Consider adding a bonus live session for your students. In my business, I’ve offered bonus Q&As and this week I’m offering a bonus strategy session. I love this because it allows us to go deeper into the conversation, apply the teachings to YOU and YOUR specific business, and connect on a deeper level. This is particularly important in the online space, where meeting someone and building trust can be more nuanced. P.S. Don’t forget to check out the holiday bazaar for 50% off my courses! When you’re IN by 12/8, you’ll get an email from me on 12/8 inviting you to a BONUS group strategy session on zoom (with the link). See you there! /episode/index/show/doulasgoingdigital/id/25222146
