Nic speaking on stage at Billion Dollar Vision
About the Founder // Business Mentorship

I help women build exceptional businesses. Period.

I built a multi-million-dollar umbrella company from a place that nearly broke me, and now I help other women build successful businesses in a collapsable, AI-driven economy.

The Story

From bankruptcy to a bootstrapped (1st gen) empire.

I'm Nic. Award-winning coach, best-selling children's book author, breathwork facilitator, recovering alcoholic, mom of four, and the founder of Auralis Media and Slice Social Club. This is the whole story, and an invitation to build your next chapter alongside me.

I almost filed for bankruptcy before I scaled a media empire into the multi-millions, bootstrapped from the ground up, and I did it by betting on women when the rest of the world was still asking whether we belonged in the room. The work began in 2009, when I took on the foundational branding and brand architecture behind Beach Body, learning at the ground level what actually moves a culture-shifting brand and what never does. From that foundation I built Auralis Magazine into a multi-best-selling, award-winning publication and a global collaboration recognized by the Stevie Awards, a company that climbed to #381 on the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing companies list and #1 in the Madison metro area by Inc. Magazine.

Somewhere in the climb I became a best-selling children's book author with Grumpy Rumpy, an award-winning coach honored with the Brainz Global 500 award, a breathwork facilitator guiding people back into their bodies through Hydrasoul and live facilitations, and an interior designer shaping spaces with Flip48. I am a mom of four, a recovering alcoholic who turned her own unraveling into the soil for everything she builds now, and a woman who has been featured in Brainz, Entrepreneur, Forbes, Goss, Brava, Inc, Galore, and BLUR.

Every single piece of that story informs how I coach today, because nothing about your business exists in a vacuum from the woman building it.

A somatic breathwork session

Reconnecting with myself is how I was able to hold it all, which is why somatics, breathwork, and deep self-connection are included in all of my consulting work.

The Many Chapters

Every chapter, on its way to this one.

The late nights, the recovery, the void of not knowing, the open road, the room full of women ready for more, the risks, the flops, the painful decisions. None of it was wasted. All of it became the mentorship so that you can collapse time and skip years of searching.

the late nights
Chapter 01

the late nights

Building before the sun comes up until well after the sun comes down, and in between the movement of everyday life.

the recovery
Chapter 02

the recovery

The unraveling that became the soil for everything I build now as I navigated the hardest season of my life: sustained sobriety.

the stillness
Chapter 03

the stillness

Learning to come home to my own body before I could hold a room, and being ok with being patient before the results came.

the open road
Chapter 04

the open road

Miles between cities, stages, and the woman I was becoming, not knowing if any of it was β€œgoing to work”.

the room
Chapter 05

the room

Women ready for more, gathered in one place, ready to build.

The Women

A decade of building alongside women who refuse to shrink.

Since 2009 I have worked with over ten thousand brands and individuals, and along the way I have partnered with women like Codie Sanchez, Leila Hormozi, Regan Hillyer, Kim Perell, and Brianna Wiest through Auralis Media, women who understand that modern wealth is built by modern women who refuse to shrink. I now own Slice Social Club in Sun Prairie, a living room for this very mission, where I work with local women to grow exceptional businesses through modern marketplace thinking, consumer-driven experience design, and coaching that treats the whole woman and not just the spreadsheet.

After spending 17 years working with over 10k clients, there are now women who fly across the world to work in person with me.

Nic with a partner, back to back

This is where my story meets yours. I have lived every chapter you are about to walk into that you think will break you. My work is designed to hold you through those (required) moments while making them less daunting.

On Stage

I teach what I have lived, on stages, in my office at 2am, and in the big rooms, so YOU do not have to learn it the painful way.

What I Do

Everything you need to build, under one roof.

My work with you is comprehensive, because building a business that lasts requires more than a single tactic. My client experiences are all-inclusive, designed to cover everything you may need from the first spark of an idea to a brand that scales. Together, we move through the whole of it, so you are never left holding the pieces of a half-built business between five different courses you purchased online from the person who promised it all.

In Their Words

My number one rule is learning everything about the business before outsourcing to employees.

Where most women go wrong? They open the business, hire the employees, and hope it goes to plan.

Where do successful women get it right? They LEARN about WHY their business should be the only option for the consumer, how to excel at the things that drive client experience, and THEN outsource and hire the employees.

Here are some of the women I have worked with in 2025-2026

We crossed $100k in a single month for the first time ever. What's CRAY is how calm it felt....sorcery πŸ˜›
In the last five months, we have paid off six figures of debt that used to feel impossible. Swear...we almost filed bankruptcy. Screenshot THAT πŸ™ƒ πŸ€ͺ
I woke up this morning thinking after that voice note you dropped about your health scare, and how you don't allow it to put you in victim, but looking at it as you're body telling you to SHIFT.
No lie, I decided to send the $2.5 million dollar proposal to our (potential) investor for the product launch and within an hour, they accepted........ and we are startinng the launch in three countries, and not just CAN
The level of trust that I have in this space is quite remarkable. I've been following you for over a year, and your journey is exactly the energy I need in my life. Thank you for this. Just thank you.
Ok so now that I've had a hot second, I actually went to your profile to check you out and learn more about you and turns out, you're not just rad in person πŸ˜† πŸ˜† πŸ˜† in addition to your gorgeous shoes, you looked so familiar and I just couldn't place it, but I saw the picture that Jocelyn had posted a few days ago, just now on your profile and connected the dots.
I fucking bawled for a solid 7 minutes. I haven't compared myself to a single person online today. Not once. The noise is GONE. My brain feels quiet for the first time in months... and... I signed two clients this afternoon. No launch. No pushing. Just clean energy in my email around the moves I'm making, and they showed up. I feel like this is the shit no one believes πŸ˜…
I don't know how to explain it but... everything is moving again. Nic, your words just made me think differently, and that's never happened. One. Call. My offer finally clicked, old (and new) clients are reaching out, and my energy feels CLEAN. I brought in $18k this week without changing a single thing in my business. It's literally just from the shift I felt after the call.
NIC. I'm actually losing my mind right now. I just had a $42k day........from ONE post I wrote after our call. I swear it poured out of me because I finally felt clear again.....or prob for the first fricken time ever. My DMs blew up. I haven't had momentum like this in months. Whatever happened on that call shifted EVERYTHING.
I didn't even realize how brainwashed I was until we had that talk, Nic. For fucking YEARS. The one call has already helped me feel relieved and clear, and that has allowed me to ACTUALLY create a new business plan to bring to this investor. I'm sending it tonight
I was on my knees in surrender last night, as we closed out the month at over $300k in sales. That alone almost set up our entire Q1 in 2026 with baseline MRR. Excuse meeeeee but wtf is me lifeeeerrrr 😭
Yes! She sent me the welcome email this morning, and I feel even more confident in my decision to move forward than I did yesterday. It feels easier to hold a 2M revenue year knowing this is where we are goinggggggggg
I did. And then I was like but I don't want to be called out because I've actually been holding on the my marketing from when I was actually making that much in my business
There I said it omggggg
This morning I pulled my child from public school, and withdrew a $50k contract that was sucking my soul.
Yesterday changed everything.
I'm done living for expectations THERE ARE NO RULES
The things in my life that have snapped into place after my surrender and facing the words you said. πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™
We are just getting warmed up. Thank you.
That's exactly it. I invested six hours ago and already made it back x2. But most people don't think like that. It was scaryyyyyyyyy, but as soon as I sent it out, they wanted in. I'm already going to title it the $250k cover story πŸ˜‚
There's just no way it would have happened outside of this experience. I connected with a woman during launch, joined her mastermind, was hired as a speaker, and OUTSOLD my retreat. God had it on lock this entire time. So happy I said yes, Nic 😭😭
