Brit Nicole found herself leaving an abusive marriage with nothing. No money. No backup plan. Just herself, my dog, and the belief that she could build something — anything — from scratch.
Tell me what challenges you have confronted and how, despite it you created a thriving business?
What does "being happy without an agenda" mean to you?
What are the similarities and differences between overcoming an abusive husband and being betrayed in business?
How do you overcome people who project their own fears onto you because it's not something they would do?
Brit Nicole
Brit Nicole found herself leaving an abusive marriage with nothing. No money. No backup plan. Just herself, my dog, and the belief that she could build something — anything — from scratch. Brit remembers sitting in the quiet of that season, no clients, no certainty, just a journal full of prayers and the fire to figure it out. She told herself right then that she wasn't going to spend her life building someone else's dream. If she was capable of working that hard for the wrong people, she was going to work that hard for herself. Brit identified a market gap that nobody else saw in the early 2010s. Digital marketing wasn't even on the radar in her city, so she flew to New York to learn directly from established agencies. She returned with knowledge that didn't exist locally, secured a loan with her dad's help, and installed digital TVs throughout town and the mall. Brit built, scaled and sold that by the age of 22. Brit is interested in helping women create what they actually want.

Helen Malinowski, LICSW, SEP, is the founder of the Somatic Integration Institute and the Catalyst Collective. She is passionate about supporting clinicians in building sustainable, nourishing practices that prevent burnout and compassion fatigue. Through the Catalyst Collective, she creates transformational community spaces where established practitioners can grow their impact while staying deeply resourced and connected.

When she's not working with clients or leading cohorts, you'll find Helen running, hiking, at the beach with her dog, or connecting with friends over good conversation. As a mother navigating the beautiful complexity of family life, she understands firsthand the importance of building work that nourishes rather than depletes.
