Have you seen these viral reels about a “high value woman?” Friend, that messaging is NOT it.

According to the internet, men are either looking for a woman that will do everything besides make the money, or one that will “retire them.” But friend, we’ve got to expect more for ourselves and for our daughters.

With three daughters in their dating years, I’m having these conversations myself. How do you find a great man - one that is going to show up to life with the same energy you are - when things are just different out there?

I am no dating or marriage expert but looking back at my twenties and thirties I can tell you this - look for the character not the commas.

Let’s discuss how character proceeds commas and why we cannot settle for a lazy man.

Girl, you may just NEED this chat so thanks for being here!

Friend, if you’re out there sharing your wins on social, you’re probably noticing that the internet has gotten meaner over the last few years.

And although the internet is still more positive than negative, we’ve got to talk about how we got here and what we can do about it.

Hit play for the story and lesson I received from an accidentally sent hate message.

Whether you’re sharing your own life or you’re one of the encouraging commenters on social, keep doing what you’re doing. Don’t cower in the face of negative comments and keep being loud about your wins.

We are in this together and although weapons WILL form, they won’t prosper. Thanks for being here, friend!

Grab your headphones because this chat is for us - not for the kids!

We’ve been chatting about getting pregnant and having a baby over the age of 40 plus what postpartum has been like for me. Well in this chat we’re taking it a step further with what sex is like postpartum, post-divorce, and over 40!

Friend, there are so many negative messages around sex postpartum and over 40 and I had anxiety! What if my body was too different? What if the desire wasn’t there?

Well I’m sharing what it’s really been like for me, now that I’m beyond 6 weeks postpartum!

Listen in to hear what’s working and what we’re still working on when it comes to sex postpartum and over 40.

Thanks for being here, friend. Thanks for cheering me on as I experience life in a whole new way. Let me know your thoughts (and birth control recs!) over on IG @NicoleWalters.

Friend, I’m here to share the real real on my postpartum journey (so far!) As a mom over 40, my recovery from birth and pregnancy was something I thought a lot about and PLANNED for.

In this chat, I’m sharing how I worked to minimize complications during my pregnancy so I had less to recover from in postpartum PLUS what worked for me before, during, and now after.

Every body is different and I want to extend grace to you (and myself) as we navigate managing all the things around pregnancy and postpartum. But now that I’m on the other side, I’m excited to share that it is possible to get back to YOU!

Let’s chat about weight gain, sex with our spouses, juggling the other kids, and postpartum anxiety. For those of you in it with me or hoping to be here, let’s get real about the spectrum of postpartum.

We chatted about Josie’s birth story last week but what about pregnancy? How did it REALLy go at age 40?

Friend, if you’re approaching 40 and have birthing a baby on your heart, let this chat encourage you!

Getting pregnant at 39 brought it’s own stressors like what about my current kids and career?! Ultimately, I learned that there are real advantages of being “advanced maternal age.” Hit play to hear how I handled those stressors and what went right throughout my pregnancy.

You can gather all the information and read all the books but the story that’s told about getting pregnant over 35 doesn’t have to be your story. It can be perfect and magical and exactly what you waited for.

And I have to say friend, thank you for all your comments about the birth story and this whole pregnancy journey so far. It has been so fun to hear your stories and thoughts. Keep those stories coming over on IG @NicoleWalters!

Friend, I just gave birth for the first time at age 40 and I’m here with Alex to share all the birth story details!

From evacuation to the doctor MISSING when he gave me an epidural to an unexpected nurse change, it was crazy! But it was all worth it because we walked away with a beautiful and healthy baby girl.

Listen in to hear all the details and what we named baby girl #4!

Thanks for being here friend! I’ll be back next week to chat about the reality of postpartum.
