Grab your coffee and join me! Nothing is more interesting to me than having a caffeinated conversation about life! I’ve been "coffee talking" to you for years on Instagram, yet that connection hasn't been at the level I crave. Enter the Coffee With Nicoa Podcast! I'll be talking to people who have courageously chosen to walk their own paths and create their Lives by Design. I hope it will inspire you to find your own True North and do the same!
