Shownotes

This week, I’m joined by Nicole Gottselig, a Canadian writer, editor, and storytelling powerhouse based in Berlin. 

Nicole’s a natural connector with over a decade in content creation, event hosting, and community building. As host of Connect with Purpose and former host of Hotjar’s Through the Looking Jar, she’s known for sparking real, human conversations that inspire action.

We chat about money, purpose, and what happens when you stop waiting for permission and finally go all in. 

Nicole shares how stepping out from behind the scenes and showing up as her unfiltered self transformed everything. It’s an honest, energising conversation about bravery, burnout, and building a life that feels truly aligned.

Here are the highlights:
