Part 2: Working Mum, Wild Past: Nicky’s Deepest Confessions & The Apprentice Plot Twist
Welcome back to another episode of Motherloading with your hosts Nicky and Michelle.
If you haven’t listened to Part 1, start there first - then come back for this powerful deep dive into Nicky’s journey: the past she’s never fully opened up about… until now.
In this honest and emotional conversation, Nicky reflects on the “wild years” of her early life - a time filled with bad decisions, lack of direction, and a lingering sense that she wasn’t living with purpose. The organised, driven, proactive woman we see today is a world away from who she once believed she was.
Nicky shares how she transformed her life through self-development, discipline and sheer determination. She threw herself into her career, eventually landing a spot on The Irish Apprentice, where she placed second, a huge achievement many listeners won’t know about.
From there, she pushed through imposter syndrome, applied for a job she had “zero qualifications” for on paper, and still secured it… then rose through the ranks and climbed the corporate ladder with grit and graft.
But now, as a mum, the balance looks different. Nicky opens up about wanting to be more present with her children, while also fearing the feeling of “plateauing” or slipping back into old patterns of procrastination. It’s a conversation so many women and mothers will relate to - the constant tension between ambition, identity, and family.
This raw and relatable episode shows:
-how reinvention is possible at any stage of life;
-how hard work, confidence and consistency can change your entire path;
-why so many women feel “not good enough”, even when they’re thriving;
-and how motherhood shifts priorities, identity and self-expectations.
It’s emotional, empowering and deeply human - a reminder that life is a balancing act, but with reflection and resilience, you can rewrite your story.
