Nicole: There is a part of us that is less conditioned by all of our experience and it has certain traits to it. So how do you determine for yourself when the pushing of yourself is coming from maybe your authentic self that likes to share and wants to help? Nicole: The more connected I am to my body, the more I can in those moments ask myself, right, what is my intention? Now that I have clarity, I can differentiate, I can hear when my body is responding," she says.
