Success Stories
Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with numerous clients, each with their own unique story and set of challenges. Here are a few examples of the transformations I've helped facilitate:- Career Transition for an Empty Nester: A client in her 50s, recently an empty nester, felt unfulfilled in her high-paying job due to the long commute and demanding hours. Through our sessions, she identified her desire for more flexibility and time to travel. She successfully transitioned to a fully remote position, allowing her to maintain her six-figure salary while enjoying a better work-life balance.
- Empowering a Single Professional: Another client, a single woman in her 40s, struggled with societal pressures and self-doubt due to her marital status and lack of children. We worked together to redefine her goals and celebrate her achievements. She gained a newfound sense of self-worth and booked a solo trip to Italy, embracing her independence and passions.
- Supporting a Military Spouse: A military spouse facing an imminent move and career change felt overwhelmed by the logistical and emotional challenges. By prioritizing tasks and delegating responsibilities, she was able to accept a new job offer, arrange professional moving services, and enroll her toddler in daycare, easing the transition for her entire family.

Reviews About Nicole Bailey
I throughly enjoyed working with Nicole. She listened to the issues I had, provided insight and guided me through the process of creating actionable steps which allowed me to reframe the situation I was facing and view things in a more constructive light.
Nicole is an amazing Life Coach and I highly recommend her services.
I was someone who always made decisive career moves and thrived in my field. However, post-COVID, I realized the workforce had evolved, but I had not. I found myself at a crossroads, where my desires and talents no longer aligned.
I was devastated and didn't know what to do for the first time in my career. Seeking out a life coach was an unexpected decision, but I went for it.
Nicole's calming voice and attentive listening immediately put me at ease. She asked insightful questions that I had never considered in my search for direction. By the end of our session, I felt renewed and hopeful for the first time in a long while and eagerly scheduled another session. Eventually, I found a new position that truly met my needs.
Having a coach was an incredible experience, and I highly recommend it.
I am currently in a very transitional time in my life where there are big changes that are happening everywhere I turn. The advice that I was given gave me clarity. The clarity that I now have is helping me get through this transitional period with a positive out look and lot less anxiety.
The session with Nicole was great. It was very insightful and I feel like she really listened to me. Individual centered suggestions are paramount when addressing mental health and Nicole gets me.
