𝑼𝑯𝑴 interview with Coach Nicole Hicks!

Linnea

What led you to want to become a Certified Biblical Life Coach, and what is the inspiration behind why you started Faith Over Fear Biblical Life Coaching?  Becoming a Certified Biblical Life Coach came from one of the hardest but most transformative seasons of my life. I walked through a year of chronic illness and intense spiritual warfare that tested everything I thought I knew about faith. It was during that time that God reminded me that while prayer is essential, your faith must be activated when you say “amen.” Faith doesn’t stop when you finish praying, that’s where it … Continue reading 𝑼𝑯𝑴 interview with Coach Nicole Hicks!

Welcome, Marie, and how are you? Hi! I’m doing great, thank you. I’m excited to be here and share my journey with everyone. What is it that fascinated you about the world of cosmetology and led you to want to become a licensed cosmetologist?  Growing up biracial, my hair was something many people didn’t quite know what to do with.

Welcome, Amani, and how are you doing? I am doing well and feeling extremely blessed.  Take us back a bit. When was the passion born for organizing spaces that led you on a path of wanting to help others stay organized? My passion for organizing was born from a life-changing moment of clarity after my uncle passed away.
