PTP.023:“Living the Dream, to Homeless, to Having it All” with Nichole Carlson
Nichole Carlson was living the American dream she had a nice suburban home a great career and salary a nice car and husband. On the outside, it looks like she had it all and yet in her inner life she craved something more a life of excitement passion and vitality.
This led her to feel absorbed by guilt and the dilemma of why did she feel so empty when she had so much.
Then her life came crashing down her mother died of cancer at age 47, which led her to contemplate the brevity of life, and in short order, her marriage failed and she ended up selling her home in her car and ended up traveling Europe on her own for a number of years. When her funds and resources dried up she found herself homeless and eating out of dumpsters in London, England. If her mother’s death was a pivotal moment to cause Nichole to search for something more out of life than a second epiphany for her occurred when she found herself standing in line to get a meal at a soup kitchen for homeless people in London. She had the realization that although she had nothing of material goods she felt alive and full of passion for life more so than she had ever felt before. It was then that she knew that she could rebuild her life based on the understanding that her personal fulfillment was not based on physical things like homes and cars but was grounded in the understanding that an attitude of gratitude and a sense of personal fulfillment all comes from within. No longer did she desperately seek fulfillment based on finding the next shiny object but she came to understand that everything that had happened to her happened for a reason. Her mother’s death released her to go live her life outside the expectations others had for her. She could do good things with her pain and it even worked on her behalf. She came to know that safety and love and security comes from within your power to create them from your thoughts and from your inner life.
Nichole tells her story to Dr. Brad Miller in episode 23 of the Pathway to Promise Podcast and goes on to outline how she now serves as a life coach to others seeking to “have it all” based on her teachings of how to flip the switch of your life and realize your potential that you can have it all in business family life health and productivity. She tells Dr. Brad that a focus on inner peace and joy is the change of mindset needed to be successful in the disciplines she teaches and integrates into the whole person into what she calls a domino effect where your inner life’s health impacts your outer life successes. Nichole is a coach and has a weekly Facebook live program called the “Flip the Switch.” She is devoted to overcoming the misconception that coaches are there to give advice, she advocates a coach is really there to help you figure out what you want and how to make it happen.
Nichole helps people focus not on their problems but focus on the solutions to the problems. Nichole offers great advice to those who suffer from a sense of meaninglessness in their life even when by all appearances, they have success. Nichole provides wonderful practical training in personal life transformation.

PTP.020:Dr. Lee Baucom – The Immutable Laws of Living: The Inspirational Blueprint to Living Your Meaningful Life.
The Immutable Laws of Living: The Inspirational Blueprint to Living Your Meaningful Life.
What defines a meaningful life is a question at the heart of Dr. Brad Miller’s interview with Dr. Lee Baucom author of The Immutable Laws of Living on Episode 020 of The Pathway to Promise podcast.
Dr. Baucom shares that he believes every person is destined to have an impact in this world, the question is whether our impact will be positive or negative and having a meaningful life is to have a purpose which gets us through the tough points in life to make a positive contribution to others.
Dr. Baucom shares with Dr. Brad his own struggles in overcoming significant health issues in his life and realizing that he now has bonus time in order to make a contribution to the greater good. Through his work in marriage and family counseling, Dr. Baucom developed a series of what he terms immutable laws of living which he unpacks on this episode of the Pathway to Promise.
Too often, Dr. Baucom contends we don’t accept the fact that life isn’t fair and we are waiting for life to be fair which doesn’t ever come. He makes the point, that we need to accept a life where it is and take advantage of our own special place in the world and move forward from where we’re at. To do otherwise is to be imprisoned by fear and scarcity. Whereas, shifting to an understanding of gratitude and abundance which comes from being generous to others can help us live a more meaningful life.
Dr. Baucom draws upon his spiritual faith as a source of power to give life meaning that there is something bigger than our own existence and to not draw on this power would be to reduce life to nothingness which certainly leads to a sense of meaninglessness.
Dr. Baucom tells Dr. Brad that there is power in human connection which anchors us to who we are and what we are all about. Relationships are always either growing or receding not staying stagnant; you can never really press the pause button on a relationship
Dr. Baucom teaches that accepting the law that life has challenges will help us grow as people. Life is not about happiness, happiness is a side effect of a meaningful life; whats more important is to designed one’s life to impact the world for the better.
Dr. Baucom goes into some depth about how people treat one another particular on the topic of forgiveness. Forgiveness helps people to be united to one another and not be stuck in a place of bitterness. Forgiveness is key to living a meaningful life.
Dr. Baucom also talks about the importance of understanding the power of one’s own death as a point of comparison; motivating us to act in a way to make our lives count every day. This also leads to meaningfulness.
Dr. Lee Baucom’s message on this episode of the Pathway to Promise podcast is important to help you to switch your thinking from focusing on what we are not getting out of life and instead to focus into putting more into, investing more, into our relationships and that will bring meaning to life.
You will find many great tips on how to live a meaningful life by listening to this great message from Dr. Lee Baucom in Episode 020 of the Pathway to Promise podcast with Dr. Brad Miller.
The vision of the Pathway to Promise Podcast is to help people understand and accept that they have a God-given promised life of peace, prosperity, and purpose, and that there is a pathway to find your promised life.
