🎙️ My Story & My Why - The Nicola Graham Podcast

I can’t quite believe I’m finally saying this… but welcome to the very first episode of The Nicola Graham Podcast

It’s taken me two years to get to this point - two years of overthinking, doubting, and putting it off because it didn’t feel "perfect." But I’m finally here, mic on, heart open, and ready to talk.

In this episode, I wanted to start from the beginning - to share my story and explain why I’m so passionate about women’s health, self-belief, and mindset.

This isn’t a story of dramatic weight loss or flashy before-and-afters - it’s about real life, real struggles, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

I talk about:

How I went from a corporate retail job to becoming a coach

What becoming a mum taught me about my body and mindset

How my relationship with my own mum shaped who I am today

The pressure so many of us feel to “bounce back” after having kids

Why I believe confidence, not calories, is the real game changer

If you’re a woman who’s ever struggled with how you see yourself, or you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing “enough,” this episode is for you.

I see you. I’ve been there. And this podcast is going to be a place where we talk about all the stuff that actually matters.

This isn’t going to be a podcast about the best workouts or latest diet hacks (although we’ll touch on those too).

It’s about the bigger picture - mindset, motherhood, confidence, habits, health, and how we show up for ourselves as women.

Unfiltered, honest, and straight from the heart.
