In celebration, below are a selection of Nicolette’s early radio shows from 2018 - The Curious Creative Show and The Creative Genius Show.
Today, Nicolette currently presents Creative Compass, a live radio show on Riverside Radio - Thursdays at 8pm and a post-produced podcast on Spotify that offers coaching and therapy guidance for creatives’ mental and emotional well-being as they navigate the twists and turns of creative life.
