The book traces her journey through the emotional and physical turmoil of facing two separate cancer diagnoses years apart, as well as the personal reckoning that followed.
The popular writer will share some of those experiences with locals this Sunday, as the feature guest of Berrigan Shire Council’s International Women’s Day luncheon.
The event will be held from noon to 2pm at Club Tocumwal.
Tickets are $45, and available from any of the shire libraries.
Nicole was first diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2006, just months after the birth of her second child, and confronted the disease again in 2021.
Her memoir details not only the medical realities of cancer, but also the day‑to‑day obstacles of living with an ostomy bag, from managing diet and clothing to rebuilding confidence and identity.
Beyond recounting illness, Nicole’s work advocates for recognising the toll of self‑neglect.
A wellness mentor and speaker, she shares the lessons that emerged from her recovery, encouraging readers to reflect on balance, self‑care and resilience before crisis forces change.
Through her writing and public appearances, Nicole has become a voice of candour and hope for others navigating trauma, transformation and healing.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear her brave and inspiring story.
