We recently had the chance to connect with Ramesha Nicole and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Ramesha , it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? Are you walking a path—or wandering?
I believe that I am on a the perfect path that was set for me. While I’ve gotten off that path, I truly believe that even in the moments when we (as believers and followers of Jesus Christ) get off the best path, out of God’s grace and mercy, he sends detours. For 3 years, I was in a detour season, but I’m grateful to be back on the best path. Not just for myself, but for those that are connected to me and everything I’m doing.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi! I’m Ramesha Nicole. Before I begin with the titles and giving a laundry the list of the things I do and the titles that I carry, I want to first begin with saying that I am a daughter of the one TRUE and living God. Now that that is out of the way, I’m the host of The Ramesha Nicole Show podcast. I’m an author and speaker. The purpose and mission of The Ramesha Nicole Show and brand, is to help others overcoming inner child rejection through the power of forgiveness. The podcast is specifically for those in the Christian faith space who have been chosen to be the oracles of God, also known as prophets.
In addition to those things, I’m currently in graduate school full time pursuing my Masters in Social Work at Baylor University. The goal is to become a trauma informed therapist where I will practice forgiveness therapy, emotional transformation and play therapy modalities.
I’m on a mission to revolutionize inner child healing for faith based leaders and others around the world.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
It’s interesting that you ask this question, as this is the scope of my work and the essence of what I do and why I do it. I used to believe that I was rejected, overlooked and that I wasn’t as pretty as others. While there is still some residue of those things that I’m continuing to work through by spending time with God and in therapy/counseling, I’ve learned those are just cognitive distorted thoughts that came about through life’s personal experiences.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
When I wrote my first book is when I finally stopped hiding the pain. It was during that time that I began to be comfortable with sharing my story of the things I experienced. Through marketing, I began to feel a boldness and freedom come over me as I shared snippets of what others would discover while reading the memoir. In addition to that, back in Spring 2024, my church hosted it’s very first Freedom Conference. It was during that time, that through the topic of forgiveness, that I shared being sexually assaulted and having terminated a pregnancy, 13 years prior, in a place where topics such as those are often considered to be taboo or that aren’t to be exposed publicly. Through sharing my story via both of those mediums, I was able to learn that it’s ok to share your story and that I no longer needed to hide or allow guilt and shame to hold me hostage. I also learned how sharing also brought healing and freedom to others. When others are being set free, that’s when I know it’s become a force of power.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
All me and nothing else. At first, it wasn’t if I can be honest. Due to people pleasing , as well as cultural and societal norms, I felt that I had to have a certain facade, talk a certain way, ect. Through doing the inner work, I’m continuing to learn that being too overly concerned with what others think of you is too much work. “Be yourself” is something my dad often stated growing up. Now, I know the value of that statement.
What and who you see online is also what you get in person. I don’t just talk the talk; I also walk the walk.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
That she loved the Lord and that she wanted people to truly experience freedom mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, relationally, and financially. I want them to truly say that I was about the mission of healing the inner child and the power of forgiveness.
