Season of Renewal | Women’s Health in Focus

Building on the momentum of the previous episode, Balancing Act, we’re stepping into the next layer of that ever-evolving juggle with Nickie Haine. A Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Houston, Texas, Nickie wears many hats: therapist, wife, mom of three boys, and at 51, a woman in the thick of menopause. In her private practice, she works with women navigating that same midlife swirl—kids heading to college, aging parents, shifting relationships, and the internal reckoning that often hits when life refuses to slow down.

Despite her clinical expertise, Nickie doesn’t sugarcoat it this season has turned her inside out. And that’s exactly why she’s here. In this episode, she brings truth, heart, and a whole lot of lived experience to a conversation we need to have more often. Because the balancing act doesn’t stop, it just changes. And the more we say it out loud, the less alone we all feel.

This episode is part of our journeys series personal, story-driven episodes that highlight real people sharing their lived experiences in connection to our season theme, Women’s Health in Focus.

🎧 This is Nickie, and this is her journey.
