Hands around her throat, gasping what she was sure would be her last breaths, Nicole's mind flashed to her two children, safely at home, state side with their father. Her eyes filled with tears as she realized that she would never see them again. Locked in a hotel room, no passport, no phone and no way out other than through, Nicole did unthinkable things to appease her abusive ex to get him to bring her back home.
16 Felony charges and a restraining order finally gave Nicole the
perspective she needed to leave her abusive relationship.
Although her novel is fiction, many of the haunting scenes you will experience in
A SHADOW CALLED SUNSHINE
are all too real.
After years of choosing abusive relationships,
Nicole finally found her way out of the darkness,
walking her way up the spiral staircase of success and fulfillment.
Nicole now lives in Reno, Nevada with her two children and her devoted loving husband.
She is living, breathing proof that change is possible and that there is so much more to our lives
than just surviving after abuse.
Founder of the SO THAT WHAT MOVEMENT,
Nicole has created a successful seven figure company in the wake of self sabotage.
She now uses her stories and powerful energetic practices to help her clients
to release their own self sabotage patterns and
step into their self sovereignty as they too create success and fulfillment
in their lives.
Nicole believes that vilifying abusers does very little to stop
the system problem of domestic violence. It is only through radical responsibility and a commitment to shifting the intrinsic subconscious patterns of worthlessness that we really create the change that we are craving.
She has devoted her life's work to helping people to move beyond their trauma based tethers of victimhood and survivorship
so that they can embody the belief that they are worthy of
choosing the sunshine over the shadow.
He doesn’t see himself as the villain.
She can’t believe he is, until it’s too late.But the damage is undeniable.
Charismatic, composed, and deeply controlled, the shadow of the man at the center of this haunting story
has mastered the art of perception. Yet beneath his
carefully curated surface lives a long lineage of suffering, sabotage
and choices that ripple far beyond what her doting eyes can see.
When their worlds begin to unravel, their souls are pulled into a surreal,
subconscious descent—where memories blend with illusion,
time folds into itself, and lives once lived rise to the surface.
What emerges is not just the unraveling of one man’s mind, but a blinding revelation:
that every choice casts a shadow that we carry from one life to the next.
That power, without awareness, breeds quiet devastation.
And our stories—spoken or not—bind us in spiraling patterns across generations, and even lifetimes.
Told through lyrical, dreamlike prose, A Shadow Called Sunshine is a psychological and spiritual reckoning—
a mirror reflecting the shadows we all carry, and the karmic imprint of the pain we refuse to face.
This is not a story of survival.
It’s a story of consequence that explores the path from self-sabotage to self-sovereignty.
And it dares to ask:
What if self-sabotage casts shadows beyond the edges of this lifetime?
