23 Nicola Dixon: How she designed her life and overcame financial trauma

from failure and hiding out to pivoting and abundance

On episode 23, I’m joined by my dear friend Nicola Dixon. Nicola is an INCREDIBLE photographer —  like, how of this world talented. She’s also a launch strategist and coach who helps photographers enter the digital product space. She gets so freaking vulnerable on this episode of the Montana Diaries Podcast —  we go wayyyy back in her business journey and she is so kind to open up about failure, financial trauma, mindset, and her eventual successful pivot into the photo world. This episode is a must listen.
