Unmuted by Nola ·

2026/04/13

I thought my life would follow a certain order.Marriage.Then family.Then everything else falling into place.But at some point, life stopped feeling theoretical… and started feeling real.In this episode of Unmuted by Nola, I’m talking about what happens when your life doesn’t follow the blueprint you were given—and the decisions you’re left to make when everything doesn’t line up the way you thought it would.We get into: • the moment timing becomes real • what shifts when you’ve built a full life on

There Is No Version of This That Works

Unmuted by Nola ·

2026/04/05

What if the problem isn’t you?What if it’s not your time management, your discipline, or your ability to “handle it all”?What if the math just… doesn’t work?In this episode, I sit with something I’ve been trying not to fix—and start asking a different question:What if this isn’t something that can be done better?From the invisible mental load to the expectations we carry (and the ones we place on ourselves), this is an honest conversation about what it actually feels like to hold everything at

Too Close to See It

Unmuted by Nola ·

2026/03/30

This wasn’t supposed to be a deep moment.I came home from a girls’ day and my garage was clean.Not “a little better” clean… but completely rearranged in a way I hadn’t been able to do for months.And I couldn’t stop thinking about why.Why it took me so long…why it felt so hard…and how someone else could walk in and see exactly what needed to move.This episode isn’t really about a garage.It’s about what happens when you’re too close to your own life to see it clearly…and what it looks like to start

You Can’t Out-Perfect Real Life

Unmuted by Nola ·

2026/03/22

Perfectionism isn’t just about high standards. It’s about what you make things mean when they don’t go the way you expected.In this episode of Unmuted by Nola, Nola shares a real-time experience of showing up, knowing she wasn’t fully ready, and what happened when preparation didn’t translate into control.This isn’t a polished reflection. It’s what perfectionism feels like in the moment. The overthinking. The self-doubt. The quiet urge to leave when you don’t feel immediately competent.If you’ve

The Math Ain’t Mathing on This “We All Have the Same...

Unmuted by Nola ·

2026/03/15

We hear it everywhere.“We all have the same 24 hours.”It’s usually framed as motivation — a reminder that discipline and hard work are the difference between where we are and where we want to be.But what happens when that phrase quietly turns into a measuring stick?In this episode, I unpack why the “same 24 hours” mindset can be both misleading and damaging — especially when it ignores the invisible infrastructure behind people’s lives.Because time isn’t the only variable.Support systems

You Can’t Die Before Me

Unmuted by Nola ·

2026/03/09

In this episode of Unmuted by Nola, I’m joined by my friend and fellow lawyer Kelsey Knowles.What started years ago as a “work best friend” relationship has grown into something closer to adult sisterhood. In this conversation, we talk about the kind of strength that often goes unnoticed — the steady kind — and how life’s harder seasons shape the way we lead, show up for others, and find joy anyway.It’s a conversation about resilience, friendship, leadership, and the people who help steady us when

It Hits Different

Unmuted by Nola ·

Sometimes nothing is wrong… and it still hits different.In this episode of Unmuted by Nola, I explore the quiet second layer many of us carry as we move through the world — noticing patterns in storytelling, leadership, and everyday life.This isn’t about outrage.It’s about awareness.And the subtle weight of what we see over time.A reflective conversation on representation, power, and why range — not blame — is what many of us are still hoping for.🎵 Music Credit:Tuesday Vibes by Snoozy

Who Am I Trying to Impress?

Unmuted by Nola ·

2026/02/16

Lately I’ve been sitting with a quiet question:Who am I trying to impress?Not dramatically. Not in a spiral. Just honestly.This episode is a reflection on polish, belonging, and the subtle pressure to signal success once you find yourself in rooms you didn’t grow up in. The internal math. The invisible rules. The difference between preference and protection.And the ongoing work of deciding which expectations actually deserve our energy.If you’ve ever caught yourself performing belonging instead of

My Last Day at My Dream Job: Why Leaving Something...

Unmuted by Nola ·

2026/02/01

When you tell people you’re leaving something you once called a dream job, they immediately assume something went wrong.They look for burnout.They want the tea.But sometimes… nothing broke.In this short Unmuted by Nola episode, I reflect on my last day at a role that changed me — what this season taught me about leadership, motherhood, having options, and learning to build without a playbook.If you’re standing in a transition, this one is for you.Sometimes leaving doesn’t mean something went

How We Keep Going

Unmuted by Nola ·

2026/01/26

Lately, I’ve been sitting with a quiet but unsettling question:How do we keep going when cruelty is happening in plain sight—without becoming numb, hardened, or detached from our humanity?This episode isn’t about politics, persuasion, or having the right answers.It’s about moral clarity colliding with grief.It’s about holding anger and tenderness at the same time.And it’s about what it means to stay human—especially when you’re still expected to live your life, show up for work, and be a safe place

Choosing What Lights Me Up (Even When It Doesn’t Go)

Unmuted by Nola ·

2026/01/19

In this episode, I reflect on what happens when you stop outsourcing your preferences — and start choosing what actually lights you up.From event outfits and bold shoes, to the rug that doesn’t “go,” to opening the champagne even when the moment isn’t perfect, this isn’t an episode about style.It’s about self-trust.Not everything needs to make sense to everyone else to be right for you.Music Credit:Tuesday Vibes by Snoozy Beatshttps://soundcloud.com/snoozybeatsCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0

This episode isn’t about reinventing yourself or doing more.It’s about questioning the things we’ve been told matter — and deciding what actually does.I’m sharing a few of my current hot takes on work, wellness, ambition, parenting, and why so much of what we stress over is unnecessary.Some of it is serious.Some of it is light.All of it is honest.If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, over-scheduled, or quietly craving more ease this year — press play.Music credit:Tuesday Vibes by Snoozy

Enough, Unlimited — On My Terms

Unmuted by Nola ·

2025/12/29

This episode isn’t about doing more.It’s about being honest about what’s enough — and what unlimited actually means.In the quiet space between Christmas and New Year’s, I found myself reflecting — not because anything went wrong, but because something underneath the surface was asking to be noticed.What started as a simple word exercise turned into something a lot deeper than I expected — a reckoning with responsibility, over-giving, self-permission, and the realization that being enough doesn’t

2025/12/15

December is not a month — it’s a personality.In this lighthearted episode of Unmuted by Nola, Nola unpacks the cozy chaos of the holiday season: the magic, the germs, the deadlines, the sugar, the emotional whiplash — and the annual selection of which mom will be taken out by sickness first.From advent books and toddler Christmas energy to travel prep and making magic while sick, this episode is equal parts funny, honest, and deeply relatable.

The Human Hunger to Be Seen

Unmuted by Nola ·

Why do so many of us feel invisible — even in rooms where we show up fully?Why does competence sometimes make us more overlooked, not less?And why does the quiet longing to be understood feel so universal?In this episode of Unmuted by Nola, we explore the deep human hunger to be seen — not for what we do, produce, or hold together, but for who we truly are beneath the roles.This episode digs into:• How childhood roles shape adult invisibility• The difference between being needed and being known• Why

I’m Not Burned Out — I’m Just Full

Unmuted by Nola ·

2025/11/15

This week’s episode came out a little late — and honestly, that’s part of the story.I’m learning to let the world spin without me for a bit, to honor my capacity, and to tell the truth about what it feels like to love a life that’s beautiful, exhausting, and fuller than I ever imagined.This isn’t a breakdown.It’s a breather.I talk about lying awake wedged between my daughter and my post-surgery dog, longing for community but craving silence, feeling guilty for wanting a kid-free weekend, and
