In this deeply moving episode of the Bible Chat Podcast, Nicole shares her powerful journey from a passionate 7-year-old soccer player to a collegiate athlete facing a devastating lupus diagnosis during her senior year.
Her story takes us through unimaginable valleys: severe pulmonary hypertension, right heart failure, and ultimately a life-saving double lung transplant in 2008.
We explore the emotional weight of receiving the gift of life—the paradox of gratitude mixed with survivor’s guilt—the unwavering support of her husband Josh, and post-transplant challenges including PTSD and chronic rejection.
Nicole also shares the breathtaking miracle of adopting her son Noah amid the uncertainties of COVID-19.
Today, she is thriving with 40% lung function, deadlifting 205 lbs at 110 lbs bodyweight, and running her own business, Mindful Fitness with Nicole, helping others strengthen body, mind, and soul.
This episode reminds us that nothing is impossible with God.
If you're facing chronic illness, waiting on a transplant, walking through grief, or simply needing hope, Nicole’s journey will inspire you.
