"Embody" is a popular word in the spiritual and online realm -- which makes it a very important word to get to know a bit better. And there is no one better to explore this word with than the one and only ⁠Elle Bower Johnston⁠.

Elle is a breath work specialist, rest teacher, embodiment guide, and body witch. Together, Nicole and Elle tackle what it means to "embody" our experiences, why we should do it in the first place, and what being a body even means...

...you know, the little questions.

When I started this podcast, I promised myself that I would commit to 8 episodes, and here we are! Episode 11!

So I thought I would take a moment to celebrate AND check-in. I'll tell you what I've loved so far, what I didn't love, and what I'm going to do differently moving forward (because spoiler alert, I'm gonna keep going!).

This episode is for anyone who’s been thinking of starting a podcast, been putting off starting a podcast, who thinks they’d never start a podcast but are willing to be swayed, or you know... anyone who’s just curious.

Today is a rare solo-episode / mini-copywriting lesson all about learning how to craft your words with the same precision and care of making wishes on a genie.

You are a "self..." right? But what does that mean exactly? And if we don't know the meaning of self, then can we even begin to fathom the meaning of "self-care"? These are just some of the questions we tackle in today's episode with guest, Jenine Camins.

Jenine is a life coach who specializes in guiding women through personal and professional transitions.

In Webster’s 1828 dictionary, “translate” is first defined as: “To bear, carry or remove from one place to another.” Isn’t this a fascinating way to think about the way we use the word today to talk about language? It evokes travels, evolutions, even the hero’s journey to the underworld and back…

In today’s episode, Nicole and her expert guest, Amy Hallberg, do a deep dive on the word “translate,” and what it means to us now and through time.

Ever wake up from a dream so vivid you swear it was real? Or have you woken with just one word or image swirling around in your brain that you can’t quite make sense of? This week, Nicole Cloutier is thrilled to host Rachel Strivelli, an intuitive guide and author of "Talk to the Trees," who brings her wealth of knowledge on dreams, psychic intuition, and the transformative power of art.

Words, like all living things, evolve. Which means they also branch away from each other and sometimes you have to look at a word from multiple angles, and in multiple languages, to get a full picture of what it means and the effect it has on those of us who speak it.

In this episode I'm joined by Elise Aabakken — who is a coach, a dancer, an artist, and performer at Disneyland Paris, and a speaker of many languages.

I’m going to be honest, we go a lot of places in this episode. The throughline? Poetry. Poetry and how we organize our values, poetry and rituals, poetry and manifestation, poetry at the end of a crumbling empire…

The marketing ick — we all suffer from it from time to time (yes, even a couple of well seasoned copywriters). For Nicole, the ick caused her to actually quit copywriting for a few years. She likes to think she came back better for it, but the truth is that ethical marketing requires constant check-ins.

“Somatics” — such a hot word right now. It feels like every other TikTok therapist is talking about it. Which on one hand is great — we love that people are paying more attention to their bodies. But before we get caught up in meme culture, let’s take a step back and dive into what somatics really means and how it can be a part of your healing journey.

“Beauty” … such a loaded word, isn’t it? (I hear it’s even been known to sink a ship or two.)

No matter what we think we think about "beauty," the truth is that the concept impacts EVERYTHING in our lives — from art to the environment to our health to the way we spend our dollars and the way we see ourselves.
