You don’t need to understand this work for it to work. You need to feel it.

Transcript:
Okay, let's get some of your questions answered. I've had a series of people who have asked me privately on Voxer in the dms, , and via email, a series of questions about the Mother Line program. I figured it best to, yes, I answered them, but also to turn their questions into
effectively a frequently asked questions episode, filling in all the gaps of information that I haven't yet shared. And I love this because I am a one line and a projector in human design. My one line loves information, so I love when people ask questions because I'm a question asker. I need enough information to help me move forward in any given decision. So. I'll do my best. If I'm missing anything, just send me a dm, send me an email,
okay? And we're gonna cover surface level questions, but we're also gonna cover the deep questions, and that's because I go deep. This is not surface level work. This is deep work. And when you do deep work, especially, questions come up.
To be clear, this isn't to convince you to do anything. . You'll know if it's for you. ,
This is to give you clarity about what we're gonna be doing.
Okay? First things first. To be clear, the Mother Line [00:02:00] program is not coaching.
It's also not therapy. I'm not a therapist,
and it's not another certification for your toolkit.
? Mother Line is a structured program. It's guided. I'm your guide.
It's energetic work. , Meaning we're gonna be working with your energy body , and we'll be working with inherited patterns in your spiritual soup to the origin. The goal is not to fix yourself. The goal is not to become someone new, although that sometimes is a side effect of doing this kind of work.
It's more so becoming who you're meant to be before you inherited all the layers of other people's shit.
You know, remember the goal is to be different, not perfect.
Okay. Let's start with some surface level questions. Is this just for doulas and birth workers? No, it's not. I speak a lot to doulas. I speak a lot to birth workers. Many people in my community are mothers and or birth workers, and so I tend to have a lot of really great examples through motherhood and through birth work.
However, this is not only for doulas or birth workers.
Is this only for moms? Do you have to be a mom to complete the mother line program? No? You don't have to be a mom. Every single human [00:03:00] being on this planet inherited certain information patterns in your spiritual soup from the mothers and the women who came in your lineage through your mother's line, but you don't have to be a mother to do this work. Having said that, I am only working with women.
Another question. I have a great relationship with my mom. Is this still for me?
I'd say possibly, yes. This has nothing to do with whether or not your mother was a good mom or a bad mom, or if you have a great relationship or a shitty relationship with your mom. It actually has not a whole lot to do with your mom in and of itself. This stuff didn't start with your mom. It started with the women who came before her, and then it impacts you.
, So no matter what the relationship is that you have or don't have with your mother, that's really irrelevant to doing this work because this work is about you, not necessarily. About your relationship with your mother, although when you know my story,
that's the version I'm sharing through my book is , how this work impacted my relationship with my mom. But that's just one way.
Okay? What kind of women will be in the space? [00:04:00] If you're aligned with me and we're connected, it'll probably be women like you. Women who are self-aware, women who are ready and available to go deeper
And why is there an application process? That's because I'm protecting the space . , There's some strange individuals on the interwebs. And so this is my way of filtering out and only, inviting in the energy of women who I think will be a really good fit.
So if we've worked together in the past, you probably don't have to apply unless of course you owe me money. because that just feels like weird energy.
How do I know if this is for me? You'll know. I'm not in the business of convincing. If something in your body is saying is pulling you towards this, then it's probably for you. And if you're not sure, just reach out to me.
. Let's move into how the six weeks will look. We're kicking off with a welcome call and that's really just going to be, , introducing the work, getting to know each other,
and of course, I'm guiding and facilitating along the way. And then we'll have three calls, which will all have potent energy healing, work within them. I don't wanna go in too much detail right now because it seems like a lot to try to, uh, [00:05:00] explain through this episode. But knowing that we will do this in layers together, and then if you can't make the live calls, you get replays.
If you've ever been in any of my programs, then you know that you get replays forever.
If you haven't heard me talk about this and you're wondering how EP works, expansion principle, energy healing modality, that is the energy healing modality for which I'm a practitioner of and I use EP for short. EP is a very gentle energy and it heals and clears patterns and other information that's in your spiritual soup to the origin.
And we will be working specifically in this container through the mother line.
another question. Do I have to relive my trauma? Talking about some of my experiences through my mother line can be traumatizing. No, . It's completely unnecessary in this work. There's no need to retraumatize yourself and there's no digging required. Again, if you choose not to talk about any of this while we're on group calls, that's entirely okay.
, The energy is intelligent and still knows exactly what to do and what's ready and available to shift , in any given moment. Knowing that, and I've talked about this before, but I'll say it again. [00:06:00] When we do energy work. Any one time you have an energy healing transmission, whatever type that we do, it's not healing and clearing every single thing regarding that issue.
In one swoop, we heal in layers. , Every time we feel the pull to step in and go to another layer, then whatever's ready and available to shift in that moment is what the energy will work on.
Okay? What makes this different than therapy? So this is not talk therapy. I'm not a therapist and I'm not your therapist. We will talk on group calls, but it's not required and it's not therapy conversation. It's more to shift energy. If you feel called to speak about something on the calls and there's an opportunity to do that, you can, but it's not therapy.
This is energy work.
Another question. Is this safe? Very safe? I've been doing this for six and a half years, and most of the time when I'm working on people, they aren't even consciously aware of it. I do it, , remotely. Oftentimes, I work on my kids while they're asleep, and most of the time they don't know. What they do notice is the effects when they start living their lives.
After we've shifted and cleared things, they begin [00:07:00] to notice the impact.
But again, in terms of safety, , we are not shocking your system and trying to heal everything at once. That's really just not possible and not necessary. The one of the reasons we work in layers is to give your system, , time to adjust as we're shifting things.
. Another question. ? What if things come up that I've already worked on again? Yeah, totally normal. I've worked on the same core thing a lot over the years, and that's because we go in layers and there's new levels of understanding. There's new levels that are unlocked as we go, and so we're able to go deeper and deeper and deeper with each layer.
A little bit more on logistics. Is there a payment plan? Yes. After you apply, I'll send you the payment link and there are options for payment plans through Klarna. What if I can't attend live? What if I'm on a different time zone? What if I'm at a birth all okay?
There will be replays of everything and the energy healing works through replay as well.
What happens after the six weeks? After the program is complete, you get all of the recordings so that you can continue to revisit whatever you feel called to [00:08:00] revisit over and over and over again as you see fit.
What kind of results can I expect That really depends on you and who you are and what your spiritual soup holds, and not just in the six week container, but beyond that six weeks. What you continue to work on and embody based on the work that we do during that time,
will this impact my relationships and my business? This program is not directly for your relationships or your business, but it absolutely indirectly impacts everything in your life, your relationships, , your relationship with yourself, your relationship with your children, your relationship with your partner, with your friends,
your relationship with your body, your relationship with money,
and of course your business,
okay, talk to me about the retreat. What are the details? So you may have already seen that I pushed the retreat date out to November. I spoke with a handful of people who are mothers and birth workers and busy, and it was just too short of notice. Totally respect that. I booked the same Airbnb for November, , Indian Rocks Beach, November 5th and sixth, 2026.
[00:09:00] And it's two full days, but lodging is not included. So note that you are gonna have to get your own lodging, but as we get closer, I will, , form a group so that everybody who's coming to the retreat can connect, get to know each other , and potentially room together. We'll be an Indian Rocks beach and there are tons of accommodations in the local area.
Keep in mind that we are very limited on capacity at the in-person retreat because I really want this to be an intimate experience and as of the last time I checked, four of the spots are already accounted for. Today is Tuesday, March 17th.
Another question,
are the retreat and the virtual ticket options separate? Yes and no. If you only wanna come to the virtual, you get the ticket for the virtual only, and that is the six week program from the end of March through early May. If you wanna come to the retreat, note that your retreat ticket includes access to the virtual.
Another question I've been getting is, can I pay the difference and upgrade later? Yes. If there are spots available, that's the key because several of them have already been spoken for.
Big question. What if I don't understand how this works? Nicole, I love what you talk about. I love the [00:10:00] way that you feel energetically. , I've been told this a lot over the last few weeks, , that people are recognizing and noticing that I feel different. But they have no idea what I talk about when I'm explaining it, and that's okay.
Um, the example that I'll bring you back to, and I've shared this before and I talk about it at great length in the book, is I had no idea what my mentor was talking about six years ago when she first introduced me to ep, to energy healing. I. I had no idea what she was talking about, but I felt her and something felt correct and I knew that.
Um, something I've always stuck by when I hire people and work with people in any capacity is if they're walking the walk and talking the talk and I trust them and I have a good relationship with them, and I feel like they are an individual with high integrity, uh, then I feel much more confident with them guiding me through whatever that thing is and.
I will use myself as an example here because I had no idea. I remember telling her, I love what you're saying, it sounds wonderful, but I have no idea what you're talking about. And for me, I'm not telling you what to do. [00:11:00] But for me, I knew that I trusted the feeling that I had , and I trusted that I would learn and fill in the gaps along the way that
I was ready to take the leap.
So the simple way to answer that is you don't need to understand what's happening in order for it to work and be effective.
And if you're somebody who is somewhat skeptical , who feels like you need all of the information before you move forward on a thing, , I wanna share with you a little bit of my personal journey , only because I feel like it's very relevant and as a one line who, , for many years I felt like I couldn't move forward on anything unless I had all of the details, all of the information.
I have become somebody who, as a result of doing this work and seeing the impacts over the last six and a half years, through my relationship with my children, through my relationship with myself, and through their relationship with my own mother. My relationship with money, my relationship with my friends, I have seen the impact time and time and time again over the years.
, I've shifted to becoming somebody who doesn't need to see it to believe it. I believe it, and then I see it.
[00:12:00] I too am still doing this work layer by layer. I am facilitating and guiding the Mother Line program starting at the end of this month, and I will tell you, even last week I was working through yet another layer of healing that was ready to shift in my mother line. So I am walking the walk and talking the talk right along with you.
And as far as my perceived need for information, I've shifted that as well to understand that there are times when I have enough information. I can then lead on my body and tune into whatever decision it is that I'm looking to make and use this outside of the Mother Line program as well. Use this for any of your decisions because if you're listening to this, you're likely a woman, and many of my people are mothers or mother, other women.
And there's this thing that we have called Mother's Intuition. Lean on your intuition. Tune into your body, check in with your body, and see how it feels about moving into any given decision, mother line, or , to move into a different house, to start a new offering in your business.
Whatever it is, yes, gather information and [00:13:00] also have discernment to know when you have enough information to move forward and make a decision and trust your body.
Our goal is not to force. Our goal is not to fix. Our goal is to become aware, to heal, and then to embody this work so that we are different.
If you feel the pull to work with me and to be in the Mother Line program, the link with all of the details is in the show notes. If we've worked together in the past, shoot me a dm. If we haven't worked together, there's an application link on the show notes and let's have a conversation. Have a wonderful week.
I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
