Here’s How One Woman Crushed It (And Even a Cancer Diagnosis Hasn’t Stopped Her)
Dive into this week’s “Work It Like A Mum” episode, where we chat with the unstoppable Nicole Lee. From eyeing a future in beauty to making her mark in the timber industry, Nicole’s story isn’t your run-of-the-mill career tale. Add becoming a mum and battling breast cancer into the mix, and you’ve got a story that’s as real as it gets.
Nicole and her partner’s strategy to navigate financial tight spots is nothing short of a masterclass in teamwork and ambition – and the power of manifestation doing its thing.
But life threw its curveball – breast cancer. Amid the chaos of COVID-19, Nicole faced this head-on, turning what could’ve been a breaking point into a breakthrough. Her journey through diagnosis, treatment, and coming out swinging is a raw look at the toughness that lies within every woman.
This chat isn’t just about climbing the career ladder or facing health battles; it’s about the mess and magic of aiming for more, achieving your dreams, dealing with the unexpected, and still pushing forward. Nicole’s story is a shoutout to every woman rewriting her story, proving it’s all about showing up, speaking up, and not giving up.
