118. Did I Screw This Up?

November 11, 2025

Ever catch yourself mid-laundry-fold or doom-scroll thinking, “Did I screw this up?” Yeah, same. In this episode, Nichole gets honest about guilt, over-responsibility, and the exhausting habit of trying to fix everyone’s emotions.

You’ll learn how to spot guilt when it sneaks in—on the dance floor, during calm moments, when your kids are upset, or when your ex pops up online—and how to reframe it into self-forgiveness.

Because you didn’t ruin your life—you saved it.

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever carried guilt that wasn’t yours to hold.

In this episode:

  • The truth about guilt and “fixer” energy
  • How to stop over-owning everyone else’s emotions
  • Why peace can feel uncomfortable after chaos
  • What real self-forgiveness looks like
