A 4-month program designed to support 1st & 2nd generation immigrants to get clear on their career vision and make a brave career change.

Living Bravely

you're invited to join

Are You Ready to make a
brave career change?

You are ambitious, driven, and hard-working. The problem is, you’ve been applying all your energy to a life of "should's" instead of the life that you truly want for yourself.

As a woman or non-binary person of color with immigrant roots...

This tug-of-war of “shoulds” between your family and white-dominant society leaves you in the middle, compartmentalizing your identity in order to succeed and belong in both.

And it’s exhausting.

You know in your gut that you’re destined for more than the path you’re currently on. You want to live freely, but it feels like you’re holding yourself back. It’s frustrating knowing there’s so much more in you but feeling stuck in the “shoulds” that have confined your greatness. 

You have had to navigate at least two different sets of cultures, values, and expectations.  Two different visions of who you should be and what you should want.

By the end of this program, you will...

01

Know exactly what your ideal career looks like. No more wondering what your calling or purpose is.

02

Have new levels of belief and trust in yourself. You'll listen to your intuition instead of everyone else's opinions.

03

Be on a career path that fulfills and excites you. Not just a career that pays the bills.

04

Follow-through on decisions with confidence. Fear and indecision won't stop you.

The good news is...

You are part of the generation that is living beyond survival - the generation that gets to have joyful and fulfilling careers.

Through Living Bravely, we have supported almost 100 women and non-binary folks with immigrant roots to create unshakeable clarity and make brave choices to change their lives.

We will support you to get to where you want to be quicker and with more ease.

Your ideal career is ready and waiting for you. And YOU are 100% capable of creating it.

It doesn't have to mean...

When you create what you want, yes, things will change. 

AND by living the life you’re meant for, you are honoring your ancestors and building on the foundation that generations before you have established.

Throwing what you've done in your career away.

Completely changing everything all at once.

Giving up financial stability to pursue the career you want.

That you aren’t grateful for what you have now and what your family has done for you.

I can confidently say I have finally stepped into my power. Living Bravely helped me become the woman I have always wanted to be.

"I entered [Living Bravely] feeling extreme self doubt, lost, and scrambling to find some kind of direction. This program taught me how to stop playing small, living for others, and neglecting my soul, and instead trust in myself, be confident, and embrace my self worth.

"I can not believe how much my self-confidence and clarity on who I am has shifted in such a short amount of time. I am becoming the empowered, confident leader I've always wanted to be."

You will emerge as the most clear, unapologetic, and empowered version of you that you’ve ever been.

Coming out of Living Bravely I am empowered, I am worthy, I am enough, and I love myself...now I wholeheartedly believe in me!"

"I came into this program feeling lost and unsure of who I am, influenced by people's opinions about the decisions I make in my own life, and not feeling enough. I didn't know that there was so much more going on inside me that Nicole, and my supportive sisters, helped me navigate.

Don't just take our word

— Jannel

Nicole opened my eyes up to a world of abundance, there is space for me and the world needs me for who I am.

I found the things that brought me joy, was able to define myself outside of my accomplishments, and found a job with supportive leadership and 2x the pay!

We’re ready to empower you with the clarity, identity, and belief system you need to create and thrive in the career that you were meant for.

You are a trailblazer, cycle-breaker, and lineage liberator.

Living Bravely FAQs

I know this might be one of your first times investing in yourself and exploring a group coaching program -- which means you probably have a lot of questions!  And if so, that’s all good!  My goal is for you to get the BEST support possible and for you to feel that this program is aligned to what you’re looking for.  

Here are some answers to questions that may be popping up for you:

Will I be coached by Nicole?

Yes, the cohort is led by Nicole and she will provide coaching during every group session and on Slack.

I’m a 3rd, 4th, 5th generation immigrant. Can I still apply to join?

For sure!!  This program is designed for immigrants and immigrant descendants.  If the program description hit home for you, then I highly encourage you to apply.

What’s the enrollment process like?

After you apply, we will reach out to set up a 1:1 conversation with you. We want to talk 1:1 with every person who is seriously interested in joining Living Bravely.  We do this to:

  1. make sure that this program can support what you need and
  2. help ensure supportive group dynamics. 

In other words…We want to make sure this program is going to support you and that it will be a great fit.  If not, we’re happy to send you resources or referrals to other amazing WOC coaches.

If we both agree that it’s a great fit, we will send you the coaching agreement and invoice for the first installment. From there, you’ll receive an invitation to join the private space and start connecting with the other participants.

If you’re interested, we highly encourage you to apply and set up a quick chat with us.  We know that takes courage and celebrate you in advance for taking that step!

I’ve never shared vulnerably in front of others and it’s hard for me to take up space. Will that be an issue?

First, I totally relate!  And, you’re not alone.  For most of us, we weren’t encouraged to show our emotions or share what we’re going through.  Ya know, part of that “it’s all good” mask we were taught to wear.  So I totally get that it will feel uncomfortable.  
 
And this is exactly why a group of just our community is so magical.  In 99.9% of cases, whatever you share will resonate with the other folks in your cohort.  The feedback I hear all the time is, “wow, I don’t have to explain or justify myself.”  Get ready for some next level validation!  

How much time should I set aside for this program?

The group calls will be 90 minutes 3x per month, plus about an hour each week to process, reflect, and fill out the worksheets.  Anything above and beyond that is totally up to you.

Will I get coached every week?

You may not receive direct coaching every week but we guarantee you will still take something away from witnessing other people’s coaching.  That’s the magic about being a part of a program that is designed just for our community.

When are the coaching sessions?

The next cohort will have 90-minute group coaching sessions on Tuesdays from 3-4:30pm PST / 6-7:30pm EST.
1:1 coaching sessions are scheduled based on your availability.

What is the investment for the program?

The investment for the entire program is $2500 with payment plans available. Partial scholarships are also available for those experiencing financial hardship. 

I believe in the revolutionary impact of embodying our full power and agency, especially for historically-resilient communities. I'm on a mission to create liberated lineages through radical shifts in mindset and embodiment.





I'm also a 90s hip-hop lover, dog enthusiast, and fried chicken fiend. I consider myself an introvert but love public speaking. I'm a manifesting generator, full of interests and the energy to explore all of them. As the daughter of Filipino immigrants, I appreciate resourcefulness, hard work, and big, loud family parties.
