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.

Hosts: Katy, Kelly, and Omar
Podcast: and thats oook

In this episode, we dive deep into the unique pressure cooker stage of life where women are expected to have it all figured out—career, relationships, home, identity—and somehow keep all the plates spinning.

Katy, Kelly, and Omar explore what it means to be in that post-college phase where you're no longer just finding your way—you're living it. You're the role model now. You’re navigating a career path, maintaining meaningful relationships, and building a strong sense of self, all while trying to stay grounded.

We talk about:
💼 Balancing a growing career with personal fulfillment
🏠 Managing expectations at home and with loved ones
🧠 The mental and emotional toll of being "the strong one"
✨ Strategies to prioritize self-care without guilt

This episode is for anyone feeling the weight of being everything to everyone—and trying to stay whole while doing it.
