Let's Play!
A 28-day experiment in exploring the edges of what’s comfortable and remembering what it feels like to be alive through creativity, connection, and play!
When was the last time you did something just for fun?
Tried something new? Got a little uncomfortable? Did something that made you feel a bit squirmy?
It's easy to stay within what's familiar. The places we go, the people we talk to, the things we try, and the ways we spend our time.
There's a sense of safety in what we know. And sometimes, without even realizing it, we start talking ourselves out of experiences before we've even tried them.
If I go alone, will people think I'm weird?
What if I'm terrible at it?
What if I say something stupid?
What if I put myself out there and get rejected?
What if I'm just wasting my time?
And so we stick with what's familiar.
But what might we be missing along the way?
The people we haven't met. The things we haven't created. The places we haven't explored. The experiences we haven't allowed ourselves to have.
What happens when we start getting curious about those edges?
When we try something unfamiliar, even if it feels a little squirmy?
When we notice the patterns that show up, how we respond to discomfort, and what happens in our physiology?
And what if exploring our edges could also be fun?
What if growth and change didn't always require another deep dive into our trauma?
What if we could build capacity, begin rewiring outdated patterns, and evolve through everyday experiences?
Sometimes that might look like picking up a paintbrush, talking to a stranger, taking ourselves somewhere new, or doing something simply because it brings us joy.
For 28 days, let's experiment. Get a little squirmy, have some fun, and remember that we can do hard things and not die!

What might become possible when you start engaging with life in different ways?
WHAT'S INCLUDED
A whole lot of invitations to explore
Each week, you'll receive a collection of invitations to create, connect, play, try unfamiliar things, and explore your edges of comfort and familiarity. Choose what speaks to you, notice what makes you squirm, and discover what happens when you try something different.
Short videos and guided explorations
Drawing on over 15 years of exploring how our patterns shape our experiences and what helps them change, I'll share why unfamiliar experiences can feel threatening, how survival patterns show up, and how to Pause & Notice what's happening in our physiology, thoughts, emotions, and impulses. We'll explore the different layers of our experiences, including our tendencies to avoid, control, or get things right, and bring that curiosity into our everyday experiments to build capacity and create opportunities for outdated patterns to change.
Welcome and Wrap-Up Calls
We'll begin by connecting, getting curious about our edges, and setting the stage for 28 days of exploration. At the end, we'll come together to reflect on what we've tried, noticed, and discovered, and what we'd love to carry forward into our lives.
8 optional live Creative Gatherings
Twice a week, we'll come together online for an hour to make things and connect. Bring your knitting, paints, collage supplies, unfinished project, or that craft you bought three years ago and still haven't opened. No lessons or expectations. Just space to create, experiment, and enjoy being alongside other humans.
A place to connect and share the adventure
Throughout our 28 days together, we'll have a private community to share the squirmy moments, unexpected joys, little victories, things we're creating, and everything in between. A place to ask questions, exchange ideas, and connect with your fellow Play'ers.
An optional pen pal/exploration buddy
Connect with someone else who's experimenting alongside you. Exchange messages, postcards, photographs, art, or little discoveries. Maybe even make a new friend!
A few surprises along the way
Including some of my own creations that I'll be sending out into the world!
HI, I'M NICOLE.
For over 15 years, I've been exploring how our patterns shape the ways we experience ourselves and the world, and what helps those patterns change.
You can learn more about me here.
I'll be exploring my own edges alongside you. Making things, trying unfamiliar experiences, putting myself out there, and noticing what happens along the way.
I'd love some company!
LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
Imagine feeling more comfortable putting yourself out there. Speaking up, connecting with strangers, following your curiosity, and trying things you've been talking yourself out of.
Having more capacity for the uncomfortable moments, and more freedom to engage with life in ways that feel meaningful, playful, and alive.
Maybe you'll remember how good it feels to participate in your own life!

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
You've been wanting to do more of the things you keep thinking about doing.
You miss making things just because it's fun.
You'd love to feel more comfortable going places alone, meeting new people, speaking up, or putting yourself out there.
Life has gotten a little too predictable, serious, or familiar.
You've spent years working on yourself and you're ready to experience growth through something other than another deep dive.
Or maybe you're simply curious about what might happen if you started saying yes to a few more experiences.
You don't need to be fearless, creative, or outgoing. Just curious enough to experiment.

My experience working with Nicole 1:1 as well as in her program was nothing short of transformational. I had so many ah ha moments and found a deeper connection to myself that cannot be found through conventional talk therapy alone. I gained such a profound felt sense of wholeness as well as a FELT knowing that there is NOTHING wrong with me and there is nothing to fix. Nicole is truly a gift and I will always remember her as one of my wizards guiding me back to myself ;)

I highly recommend Nicole’s programs and one on one support. Nicole’s guidance was the light I needed during my dark times. I always felt that she was holding a safe space for me to work through my self discoveries. It’s deep work that goes beyond what talk therapy could ever do alone. I’ve never felt more supported in my life and I’m very grateful for her.

If you are feel you are in a place where other modalities or treatments haven't wholly delivered, and you are feeling like there is more under the surface that what counselling, or other therapies is getting to, that this course is an incredible way to learn about yourself, to share with others and to receive an extraordinary kind of support while doing it. Very different and arguably much more impactful than self-help, and impactful in a different way than 1-1 therapy or modalities. It has also helped equip me to put a lot of this into more regular practice, rather than to wait until I have an 'SOS' moment.
