ABOUT THE EPISODE
Performance, praise, perfection—what happens when they’re not enough? In episode seven, Nicole Zasowski talks with Sarah about how she had built an identity and a career based on her achievements. She notes how she “treated God like a vending machine,” which even worked for a while—until it didn’t. A cross-country move became the turning point when Nicole’s carefully curated life began to crumble, and Nicole began to ask God some difficult questions. In this conversation, Nicole and Sarah talk about career, loss, identity, miscarriage, and how to hope when your hands are empty.
Nicole Zasowski is a licensed marriage and family therapist and author of From Lost to Found: Giving Up What You Think You Want for What Will Set You Free. As an old soul who wears her heart proudly on her sleeve, she enjoys writing and speaking on topics that merge her professional knowledge and personal experience. She lives in Connecticut with her husband and two young boys. Nicole would love to connect with you on her website NicoleZasowski.com or Instagram.
