Thrive with Nicole
Welcome to Thrive with Nicole—the podcast for empaths, lightworkers, and sensitive souls ready to transform their sensitivity into their greatest strength.
I’m your host, Nicole Ivens—Certified EFT practitioner, Holistic Counsellor, Intuitive Guide, and Leader of the Embodied Empath Movement.
If you’ve ever felt like your sensitivity is a burden, like the weight of the world is too much to carry, you’re not alone. But here’s the truth—your sensitivity is sacred. It’s not something to suppress; it’s a gift to embody.
This podcast is your sanctuary—a space where we honor and celebrate your unique energy.
Together, we’ll explore healing tools like EFT tapping, energy alignment, intuitive guidance, and spiritual teachings to help you step fully into your power.
Here, you’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system, release emotional blocks, and create a life that feels aligned, authentic, and deeply fulfilling.
Because thriving as an empath isn’t about toughening up—it’s about coming home to yourself.
So take a deep breath, settle in, and let’s embark on this journey together.
Because you, my beautiful empath, are meant to thrive. 💜
Angel Blessings,
Nicole

Does Trauma Create Empaths? Let's talk about it!
Have you ever wondered if being an empath is something that can be diagnosed?
In this episode, we explore the common belief that being an empath is caused by childhood trauma or dysfunction.
While this is a popular opinion, I share a different perspective—what if being an empath is actually a sacred gift rather than something to be "explained away" or "fixed"?
We’ll also dive into:
✨ Why mainstream psychology doesn’t recognize "empath" as a diagnosis—and why that might be a good thing.
✨ The truth about trauma—while being an empath doesn’t come from trauma, your sensitivity can make you more susceptible to it.
✨ A powerful exercise to help you feel into which belief resonates with you most.
This episode is all about shifting the narrative around sensitivity, so you can own your empathic gifts with confidence. Tune in and reclaim your power as an embodied empath!

Angel Blessings,
Nicole
