Ever feel like you’re acting out a part? When all you really want to do is show up as the authentic being you are - even if you’re not a hundred percent sure who that is yet. What would life look like if you felt comfortable in your own skin, able to work, socialise and just be who you want to be? What small steps could you take today to make your dreams a reality and how could you find the confidence to even start? With only one short life ahead of you, can you really afford not to show up in your life as the only person you can - you! I am Nicci Lou - the #confidencecoach you need to help unlearn the layered mask you fixed in place in childhood. How many masks you remove step by step is up to you. Coaching is all about your own autonomy. No judgement. No assertions of things that may not work for you. And certainly no rehashing the past pointing fingers at those you love. Trained at Great Ormond Street, I worked as a Senior Nurse in PICU for 15 years supporting families of babies and teens through open heart surgery etc, until an amalgamation of mysterious illnesses had me leave nursing for self employment. Here I became first the owner of a community hub and then, after 5 years working as a conversion copywriter and marketer, I was hired as a copy coach. Back out again as gay in my 30s and eventually known as being AuDHD at age 44, I became a solo parent, so sold my home, closed up as a marketing coach and road tripped my nine and seven year old through eighteen countries (inc Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Australia and Japan) while staying in a van, on couches of strangers and in motels. It would be the best part of two years before we’d buy a home again. And one small micro step at a time, the best life shaping experience ever for each neurospicy one of us. In Australia, I realised it was time all neurodivergent women and queer people got to step into their personal power and started the blog to lift up their voices - head over to amplifytothrive.com to find out more. When not working you’ll find Nicci Lou life-learning alongside her kids, or writing one of her three books. Because why be sensible and write one at a time when you can write three! Her daughter clearly agrees as she’s writing two. Are you ready to live your life as you, yet? DM me. If you’re unsure whether we’ll be each other’s people, you need only send me across something you're struggling with right now and I’ll send you a personalised video right back within 24 hours. No obligation. No charge. So what are you waiting for?
