From Abuse to Freedom | My Testimony in Christ

This is my real story. From childhood abuse… to addiction, depression, PTSD, and years of feeling completely lost—I spent most of my life trying to fix myself on my own. Nothing worked. Not until I found Jesus. In this episode, I share how everything changed—from a high-speed chase and rock bottom moments… to discovering true freedom through Christ and the Freedom group at church. This isn’t a perfect story. It’s an honest one. If you’ve ever felt stuck, broken, or like you’ll never be free… this is for you. You are not alone. And freedom is real. 🎙️ Journey with Nicole Because your story matters… and your peace is worth the work.

I Got Lost My First Week in Florida (No Phone, No Map)

What was supposed to be a simple walk turned into one of the most defining moments of my life. During my first week in Florida, 1,300 miles away from everything I knew, I left my phone at home to “disconnect”… and got completely lost. No GPS. No way to call for help. Just heat, fear, and the overwhelming realization that I had no idea how to get back. In this episode, I share the moment panic set in, the prayer that changed everything, and how I found my way home — not just physically, but mentally and spiritually. Sometimes getting lost is exactly what we need. Follow Journey with Nicole for real stories, growth, and finding your way — one moment at a time.

Why Women Don’t Come Forward

This episode is one of the hardest stories I have ever told. When people ask why women don’t come forward after an assault, why they stay silent, or why they don’t report, I need you to understand something… It’s not because it didn’t happen. It’s not because they’re weak. It’s because the system that is supposed to protect them often makes them relive it all over again. In this episode, I share my personal experience with an attempted assault, what happened when I spoke up, and how the system responded. This is not easy to listen to. But it’s necessary. This is for every woman who was questioned, minimized, or not believed. Silence protects predators. And I’m not silent anymore.

Why Women Don’t Report

This episode is one of the hardest stories I have ever told. When people ask why women don’t report assault, why they wait years to speak, why they stay silent, I need you to understand something — it’s not because it didn’t happen. It’s not because they’re lying. It’s not because they’re weak. It’s because the system that is supposed to protect them often protects the offender instead. This episode is my story — from the assault, to the police report, to the courtroom, to watching the justice system fail not just me, but multiple women. But this is not just about me. This is about every woman who was not believed. Every woman who was minimized. Every woman who was told it wasn’t “bad enough.” Silence protects predators. And I’m not silent anymore.
