We’re looking forward to introducing you to Nicole Lyn . Check out our conversation below.
Nicole , we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Finding myself again and falling back in love with life. This season has been so good to me! It has been full of girls’ nights, Disney days, and more music festivals than I can count. It’s been rewarding, refreshing, and honestly so much fun. I was losing some spark there for a little while.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi! I’m Nicole, a full-time corporate girly with a passion for building a life that feels fulfilling both in and out of the office. My brand blends everything I love: Disney adventures, music festival culture, and exploring all the best coffee spots in San Diego. I share my journey with the intention of inspiring others to embrace what makes them feel alive, creative, and connected. I guess you can describe me as someone who doesn’t stick to a single niche, but follows my passions.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a child, I was bullied. The girls who targeted me constantly told me I wasn’t likable and didn’t deserve friends, and for a long time I believed them. That feeling of “not being enough” followed me through my childhood, my teen years, and even into early adulthood. It made it hard to put myself out there, to trust people, or to believe I belonged anywhere. Honestly, it was a very lonely time in my life.
But everything shifted when I turned 30. I started to realize that those old narratives weren’t mine to carry. I realized that I was good enough, lovable enough, and worthy of real connections. I began opening myself up, letting people in, and showing up as my true self. And in doing that, I found my core group of women who genuinely appreciate me for who I am. They value me, celebrate my quirks, and are now some of my closest friends. It’s been one of the most healing and empowering transformations of my life.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
You deserved kindness, friendship, and safety. The way they treated you was never a reflection of your worth. The things they made you feel ashamed of will one day become the things people love most about you.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
I protect authenticity. I believe in showing up as your real self, not who the world tells you to be. Creating spaces where others feel safe to do the same is nonnegotiable.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. When do you feel most at peace?
I feel most at peace in the quiet, gentle moments. Really when life slows down long enough for me to really take it in. I find peace when I’m curled up with a good book, or when I’m watching my children grow into their own individuality and becoming exactly who they’re meant to be. Those moments remind me to breathe, be present, and appreciate the beauty of where I am right now.
