Episode #355: From Pain to Power with Nicole Farrugia

Jul 10, 2025
 

So many women will experience hard seasons while building a business — heartbreak, transitions, betrayals, burnout. What matters most isn't avoiding the tough times… it's how we move through them and into a more empowered place.

In this raw and real conversation, I sit down with Nicole Farrugia — founder of Mortgage Ease and one of my A-Players — to talk about what it looks like to rebuild when everything falls apart. Nicole opens up about navigating the end of both a personal and business partnership and how she found the strength to start over and rise even stronger.

This is a story about emotional resilience, reclaiming your power, and trusting yourself again after it's been shaken.

Whether you're in the thick of it or emerging from the storm, Nicole's journey is a powerful reminder that you can rebuild — with more joy, more abundance, and more alignment than ever before.

 

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • What Nicole did when both her personal and professional lives crumbled — and how she moved through the pain
  • The mindset shift that helped her stop spiraling and start rising
  • Why she stopped trying to "make everyone happy" and started protecting her peace
  • How she rebuilt a six-figure business in just two years by putting her energy first
  • The power of choosing aligned partnerships, supportive communities, and self-trust
