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.

Turning MS, Music, And Grit Into A Life You Own

Send us Fan MailA touring rapper with a numb arm, a misread diagnosis, and a life that swerved—B‑Side sits down with us to share how MS reshaped his art, business, and sense of purpose. What begins as a story about hip hop and Juggalo community widens into a candid look at healthcare quality, wheelchair design that hasn’t changed in decades, and the mental battle to stay grateful without faking it.We trace his path from early shows and near‑miss industry ties to the moment specialized care finally made sense of his symptoms. The contrast between fuzzy local MRIs and crystal‑clear scans in Rochester becomes a metaphor for the whole journey: when you upgrade your tools and team, you see what you’re truly up against. From there, we get into the hard pivots—leaving a painful relationship, adapting to an electric chair that wasn’t built for comfort, and finding the courage to call out design failures that millions quietly endure.Then comes the rebuild. B‑Side explains why creativity is his painkiller and how shipping projects keeps him moving. He’s launching 55 Strong, an apparel line rooted in subculture grit, and teaming up with his father to teach business owners how politics impacts revenue, risk, and brand trust. We preview his slate of music releases—including a full hip hop album about multiple sclerosis aimed at anyone fighting private battles—and talk practical steps for ownership: a strong website hub, physical media, and multiple income streams that don’t buckle under algorithms.You’ll leave with takeaways you can use: seek second opinions, treat accessibility as innovation, create daily to convert pain into progress, and keep your focus forward. Explore B‑Side’s world, support the art, and share this story with someone who needs the reminder that limits are real—and so is resilience.

Sober In Paradise, Purpose In Practice with Shannon K Whaley

Send us Fan MailEver tried to change your life by changing your location? Shannon did what so many dream about—she left Seattle for the Cayman Islands—only to learn the hardest lesson of all: you can’t outrun yourself. When “vacation mode” became daily life and blackouts replaced boundaries, she chose sobriety over starting from zero again. That decision didn’t just save her; it rebuilt her career, her focus, and the way she helps others design businesses that honor their lives.We walk through Shannon’s surprisingly circular path: early years in counseling and interventions, detours through nightlife and hair, and the wrist injury that funded a radical reset. With candor you don’t often hear, she explains how a financial cushion, an online business model, and a one-way ticket to Italy aligned into a sustainable way of living and working. Her philosophy is anti-hustle at its core: ditch corporate busywork, stop hiding in Canva, and pour your best energy into income-producing activities—relationship building, outreach, and clear offers. The website and the logo can wait; the market can’t find you without people first.This conversation also tackles the emotional mechanics of entrepreneurship: rejection sensitivity, visibility wounds, comparison, and worthiness. Shannon lays out why sobriety became her competitive advantage—clearer decisions, stable energy, smarter spending—and how showing her life publicly created accountability that kept recovery strong. We share practical, accessible tools to bootstrap a business without debt, plus a free Anti‑Hustle Business Checklist that maps exactly what to do at each stage. If alcohol or overwork is dulling your ambition, you’ll find direct talk and real options, from Dharma Recovery and Women for Sobriety to family support through Al‑Anon and Tipping Point Recovery.If you’re tired of working hard on the wrong things, this story hands you a blueprint: simplify, sell the work you’re great at, and build a business that supports a life you’re proud to stay present for. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a reset, and leave a review with the one busywork task you’re ready to cut this week.

From Burnout To Self-Leadership with Jen Hardy

Send us Fan MailBurnout wears many masks: excellence, loyalty, grit. We open the door on what happens when those masks crack—and how to rebuild a life that performs without falling apart. Our guest, Jen Hardy, went from state-champion coach to sleeping in her car between practices, then chose a different path that now helps high-stress professionals become strong from the inside out.We talk about seasonality—why sprint mode is useful but dangerous when it becomes an identity—and how the body broadcasts overload with headaches, insomnia, ear ringing, and that 3 p.m. cliff we pretend is normal. Jen breaks down the nervous system’s fight, flight, and freeze, explaining why collapse isn’t laziness but the bottom of hypervigilance. You’ll learn simple, durable recovery practices that fit real schedules: a 20-minute walk, a slow morning ritual, and micro-boundaries that protect sleep and attention without adding more pressure.From there, we get tactical. Jen shares the “future self” approach—packing the bag at night, simplifying wardrobe, prepping the laptop—so mornings demand fewer decisions and more presence. We dig into gratitude with nuance: go beyond lists and into the why, savoring details that teach your body to feel safe and satisfied. That shift beats the goalpost creep of the hedonic treadmill and helps you recognize the wins you used to pray for.If you’re tired of white-knuckling your days, this conversation offers a reset: acceptance before awareness, small systems over big heroics, and self-leadership that honors limits while expanding capacity. Tap the links to grab Jen’s free drama quiz, book list, and question prompts at MotiveAction.academy, and if you’re ready for deeper support, explore coaching and workshops. If this resonated, follow, share with a friend who needs relief, and leave a quick review to help more high-stress pros find a healthier way to win.

Collect The Cash, Keep The Clients with Dee Bowden

Send us Fan MailEver deliver great work and then hear nothing but crickets when it’s time to get paid? We brought in Dee Bowden, creator of Collect the Cash, to show a better way—one that turns awkward follow-ups into respectful conversations and overdue invoices into closed payments. Dee has spent decades in accounts receivable, and her approach is simple: solve the problem, serve the client, say thank you, and build the relationship so business keeps coming back.We walk through the four-key framework step by step, starting with the question that unlocks stalemates: “What happened?” Inside every story are the facts you need to fix issues fast—missing POs, misnamed bill-tos, invoice errors, or mismatched terms. Dee shares language you can use today, plus a timing strategy for outreach that respects people and improves response rates. We also unpack confidence versus competence, especially for founders transitioning from a paycheck mindset to asking for five-figure payments. Confidence grows with process, and process starts with clarity.To make systems stick, Dee maps collections to a familiar journey: buying a cell phone. There’s a sale, a contract, order entry, order fulfillment, accounts payable, and accounts receivable—each step tracked, confirmed, and closed. You can mirror that flow in your business with clean contracts, clear payment terms, automated reminders, and consistent follow-through. Gratitude isn’t window dressing either—saying thanks after a resolved issue signals respect and keeps doors open for renewals and referrals.Ready to replace stress with a system? Grab Dee’s free “Five Tips to Collect the Cash” at www.collectthecash.biz/freebie, connect with her on LinkedIn and IG (@dcollectcash), and tell us the one line you’ll try on your next follow-up.

Second Act, First Steps with Tabatha Jones

Send us Fan MailThinking about leaving a stable corporate role but not sure how to do it without blowing up your life? We sit down with Tabatha, the Corporate Escape Sherpa, to chart a grounded path to a fulfilling second act that honors your paycheck, your benefits, and your sanity. No beach hustle myths here—just a clear, tested plan for building a coaching or consulting business while you’re still employed.We start with clarity, walking through Tabatha’s Freedom Framework: why you want change, what skills you’ll bring forward, who you’ll serve, and how you’ll reach and help them. You’ll hear how to separate work you’re merely good at from work that lights you up, and how to validate a real problem clients will pay to solve. We unpack confidence hurdles that stop many high-performing women—perfectionism, comparison, and the identity shift of leaving a big company—and reframe confidence as the byproduct of aligned action rather than a starting requirement.Money and time are the real constraints, so we go deep on both. Learn how to audit money leaks, build a financial runway, and partner with a financial advisor to model timelines and reduce fear. Then reclaim one focused hour a day for needle-movers: client outreach, offer iteration, delivery, and networking outside your employer. We skip the logo rabbit holes and highlight the habits that compound: small experiments, consistent conversations, and gratitude practices that keep your attention on opportunities instead of obstacles.If you’re midlife and wondering whether it’s “too late,” you’ll find encouragement and a practical blueprint to build before you bounce. Tabatha also shares her free Corporate Escape Starter Kit with actionable steps on finances, networking, and early client growth, plus where to connect with her on LinkedIn and Instagram. Ready to design work that fits your life instead of squeezing your life around work?

Healing In Motion; Trust In Practice with Fran Bailey

Send us Fan MailWhat if healing starts with learning to listen—really listen—to your body’s signals and the patterns beneath your thoughts? We sit down with dancer-turned-healer Fran Bailey to unpack a life shaped by intuition: a near-death experience at twelve, a stage 4 cancer diagnosis as a young mom, and the creation of the Shiva method, a practical framework for self-healing grounded in movement, meditation, and self-inquiry.Fran shares how she treats disease as an interruption of energetic flow, not an identity, and how daily clearing helped her reclaim health and presence. We dig into the pillars of her method—Seeking Harmony, Energy, Voice, and Action—exploring why chakra-focused meditation works best when it’s physical and precise, how to place a hand on your heart and ask “What do I need today?”, and how small follow-throughs become trust deposits that rebuild confidence. You’ll hear how she uses the Enneagram to spot “personality loopholes”: the head type’s spiral of doubt, the heart type’s overgiving and hurt, and the body type’s rigid push. For each, she offers concrete somatic shifts to ground, soften, and respond differently.We also talk about living in fast-moving times and why presence is now a discipline. Fran’s “speed healing” sessions show that change can be swift when you identify chords and clear stuck energy with intention. She even pairs inner work with outer order—decluttering as a mirror for release—so your environment supports your nervous system. By becoming the observer of your triggers, locating where memories land in your field, and gently loosening cords, you create space for new choices and real progress toward your goals.If you’re craving less anxiety and more ease, this conversation gives you simple starting points and a hopeful map. Grab Fran’s free Shiva method introduction and watch for the updated chakra clearing meditation, then try a five-minute check-in today. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review to help others find these tools. Your next trust deposit starts now.
