After the unexpected loss of her father and the burnout from a demanding legal career, Nicole Maitland found solace and healing in podcasting. Join me as I chat with Nicole, the inspiring host of the "Yarns for the Soul" podcast, who courageously shares her journey from the courtroom to the podcasting world. Together, we explore the rollercoaster of emotions that accompany grief and burnout, and emphasize the healing power of storytelling and community connection. Nicole's reflections on the support from her sister and the unpredictable path of life changes remind us of the strength and resilience we all possess.

Life doesn’t come with a manual, but sometimes it offers a quirky anecdote involving a sausage dog and a deer. As we navigate the unpredictable moments life throws our way, this episode explores the fatigue of burnout and the struggle to balance personal growth with the need for community. With an engaging blend of humor and compassion, Nicole and I discuss the importance of compassionate workplaces, the silver linings of early burnout confrontations, and the courage to redefine happiness and mental health beyond traditional career paths.

Our conversation wraps up with an exciting exploration of Nicole's passion project, "Yarns for the Soul." With humor and authenticity, Nicole aspires to create meaningful change through storytelling, connecting with listeners on profound levels. Whether it's through personal anecdotes, the acknowledgment of generational family ties, or the power of shared grief experiences, Nicole's journey serves as a beacon of hope and authenticity. Tune in for an episode filled with heartfelt insights, laughter, and the promise of finding joy amidst loss.
