About the show

Overcome Yourself: The Podcast with Nicole Tuxbury- Where Transformation Begins Hi! I'm Nicole Tuxbury, host and producer of Overcome Yourself: The Podcast with Nicole Tuxbury. This is your go-to space for those real, soul-stirring conversations that shift your mindset and help you tap into your power. Every Tuesday, we dive into the tools, stories, and truths that help you break through what's holding you back- so you can show up fully, lead with purpose, and actually enjoy the life you're building. Because this isn't just about growth; it's about becoming who you were always meant to be. Overcoming yourself isn’t just the first step. It’s the gateway to the life you know you’re meant to live. At 21, I found out I had the back of an elderly person- and that moment flipped everything I thought I knew about life and strength. But instead of (or maybe after a bit of) spiraling, I rebuilt myself from the inside out. And Now? I’m a Mindset & Business Consultant, Meta-Certified Community Coach, summit producer, speaker, author, and host of this podcast—named one of Buzzfeed’s 5 Must-Listen-To Podcasts To Create A Better YOU . I’ve also been recognized as one of Buzzfeed’s 5 Top Women to Follow for Inspiration of a Better Life . And after over a decade helping entrepreneurs turn pain into purpose and strategy into freedom, I’m here to help you do the same.

What If Accessibility Starts With Being Seen with Jenna Udenberg

Send us Fan Mail Becoming a wheelchair user at eight years old would change anyone’s life. For Jenna Udenberg, it happened in the late 1980s, before the ADA was even part of the conversation, and the story isn’t just about ramps and stairs, it’s about identity, belonging, and learning how to advocate for yourself when the world keeps telling you to stay home. We talk about what it means to "Overcome yYourself” when disability is your normal, how mentorship and music shaped Jenna’s path into a 19-year career in music education, and what happened when the COVID era forced a massive life pivot after accommodations disappeared. From leadership development to launching Above and Beyond With You and publishing her memoir Within My Spokes, Jenna shares how she rebuilt purpose through community, accessibility work, and honest storytelling. Then we get into the real stuff: grief, mental health, and the pressure to be “tough.” Jenna names internalized ableism, comparison, and sky-high expectations, and offers grounded tools that actually help, counseling, support systems, taking an off day, and doing the small body-based resets that bring you back to the present. We also unpack gratitude without the “someone has it worse” trap, why saying gratitude out loud can shift your day, and how simply acknowledging people can be a quiet act of inclusion (with nuance for culture, depression, and context). If you want a practical conversation on disability advocacy, accessible spaces, and sustainable kindness, press play.

The Secret Life Of Optimistic Depression with Peter Kolat

Send us Fan Mail You can be smiling, showing up, and saying “I’m good” while your inner world is falling apart. Nicole sits down with Peter Kolat, a Polish-born coach and author, to name that hidden struggle and walk through the mindset tools that actually move you forward, starting with self-awareness and ending with intentional presence. Peter shares his path from immigrating to the United States with no English, to building a career and family, to getting rocked by the 2008 crash and a divorce. What follows is what he calls a rebirth: a return to authenticity after years of living by other people’s rules. We unpack what “living authentically” looks like in real life, how childhood conditioning shapes your belief system, and why patterns like people-pleasing can quietly sabotage your relationships, energy, and business. We also dig into the mechanics of self-talk, confirmation bias, and the meanings we attach to events. When you learn to challenge the thought, “Is that really true?”, you can stop digging the hole deeper and start rewriting the story you’re repeating. Along the way, we talk gratitude as a daily practice that shifts “Why is this happening to me?” into “How is this happening for me?”, plus why community matters when you’re tempted to isolate. Peter also shares resources from his work, including his book Authentic Self-Rebirth and ways to find him online.

What If Your Hardest Mile Is The One That Saves You with Dr. Jeffrey L. Reynolds

Send us Fan Mail Two separate cancer diagnoses in fourteen months would stop most people in their tracks. Dr. Jeffrey didn’t just survive prostate cancer and stage 3B colorectal cancer, he found a way to keep training, keep working, and keep choosing the next step even when fear, nausea, and uncertainty showed up daily. We talk about the moment a routine checkup turned into a life-altering alert inside a healthcare portal, and the whiplash of getting back to racing only to hear another doctor say, “It’s really significant.” Jeffrey shares what cancer survivorship actually looks like after treatment, including the scan-to-scan anxiety, the side effects that linger, and the emotional weight that hides behind the phrase “no evidence of disease.” If you’ve ever felt like your body moved on faster than your mind, you’ll feel seen here. We also get practical about resilience and mindset. Jeffrey breaks down how Ironman and marathon training built the mental toughness to push through “mile 18” moments, and how that same skill set helped him finish chemo when it got brutal. We dig into gratitude as a real, usable tool, shifting “I have to” into “I get to,” and why access to care, support systems, and perspective matter as much as motivation. If you need a grounded, honest push to keep going, press play.

From Quick Fixes To Daily Practice With Executive Coach Hilda Fainsod

Send us Fan Mail We sit down with executive leadership coach Hilda Fainsod to talk about self-leadership as an inside job and why clarity about what we want comes before any plan. We unpack why tiny daily practices beat quick fixes, how motivation builds after action, and how to get back on track after a slip instead of quitting. • asking “what do you want?” as a regular life check-in • defining who you want to become before setting goals • building a realistic plan with small, repeatable steps • practicing daily instead of collecting information • understanding motivation as momentum created by action • avoiding all-or-nothing thinking with habits, food, and fitness • why “21 days” is only the beginning of habit formation • using mindset tools to stop an inner voice that sabotages goals • making small detours without leaving the main road Write me and go to my website, and I will be so glad if you leave your email and your name to email you: HildaFainsod.com Support the show Unlock the secrets to online business success with these FREE and low-cost resources from Nicole! - Join our supportive FB Group to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs and get exclusive tips and advice: https://nicoletuxbury.com/facebook - Get your copy of the Best of the Profit Machine Summit Book shipped to you to learn from 15+ experts on how to turn your online business into a Profit Machine for only $13! https://nicoletuxbury.com/profit-machine-summit-e-book/ - Get instant access to the Coaches Guide To Print on Demand Video Course + Spreadsheet for only $17: https://nicoletuxbury.com/product/coaches-guide-to-pod-with-resource-file/ Explore these amazing resources and start your journey to success today!

Burnout Proof with Daniela Wolf

Send us Fan Mail Burnout rarely announces itself with a flashing warning sign. Sometimes it creeps in as snapping at the people you love, feeling perpetually behind, or “crushing it” on paper while you feel empty and exhausted inside. We’re joined by Daniela Wolf, a clinically trained social worker and burnout survivor who now helps busy professionals find “the bliss in your busy” without waiting for a breakdown to force change. We talk about what burnout can look like in real life, why following your passion can actually increase burnout risk, and how boundaries create something more realistic than perfect work-life balance: work-life harmony. Daniela shares her framework from her book Balance Breakthrough, built on three pillars that work together: mindset (the stories that block you), time planning (priorities and micro time blocks), and practical self-care that is sustainable on a normal Tuesday, not just on a getaway weekend. You’ll walk away with concrete strategies you can try today, including 10-minute blocks, 1-minute “recharge” practices like box breathing and mindful sensing, and a simple gratitude practice that rewires attention through the reticular activating system. We also dig into how stress spills into sleep, food choices, money worries, and relationships, and why progress over perfection is the only way these habits stick. If you’ve been telling yourself you don’t have time to take care of you, press play, pick one tiny practice, and start again as many times as you need. Subscribe for more conversations like this, share the episode with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review with the micro habit you’re trying first.

You Can Lose Everything And Still Be Rich with Anil Gupta

Send us Fan Mail You can lose the house, the car, the savings and still not lose everything. Nicole sits down with Anil Gupta to unpack the raw moment he admits he’s gambled away their financial security and is close to suicide, only to hear his wife say the sentence that snaps him back to life: she doesn’t care about the money, she cares that he’s here. That perspective shift becomes the foundation for a bigger conversation about resilience, mental health, and rebuilding after rock bottom. We get practical fast. Anil shares the one-line standard he lives by, “Be so amazing that you cannot be ignored,” and why it’s less about attention and more about how you show up when you’re scared, ashamed, or tempted to play small. Then we break down his happiness formula, Give x Gratitude x Grow, including what “giving” looks like when you have no time, no money, or you’re literally stuck in a hospital bed. If you’ve ever struggled with negative thinking or lack mindset, this framework gives you a clear way to reset by raising your lowest score first. Nicole and Anil also dig into happiness vs joy, fulfillment, and his “right shoulder rule”: under no circumstances will I give my joy away to traffic, delays, or other people’s moods. You’ll leave with a simple challenge you can try today: five random acts of kindness, and a new way to measure what actually changes your life over time.
