Becoming a DoryWoman

Nicolle Littrell, DoryWoman Rowing

I’ve got a fun little series coming to your earbuds to end this week with my new friend Nicolle Littrell of DoryWoman Rowing.

If you’ve listened to this podcast before, it probably won’t take you too long to realize why Nicolle’s story resonated with me - I’m not entirely unfamiliar with what happens when a woman collides with midlife and realizes she wants something entirely different than what she’s been up to the last few decades…

This one covers a lot of ground, so I’ve broken it up for you. In Part 1, we're mostly talking about how Nicolle got into rowing dories in the first place (since that’s not exactly an obvious outdoor activity choice for most people), and also how she basically manifested her way into her first boat….. was it pure will, or witchcraft? I’ll let you be the judge.

In Part 2, we pick up our story at the point that Nicolle has her boat, but finds herself without a job during a global pandemic. Given the circumstances, I think a lot of folks, myself included, would curl up in a ball and lick our wounds for months, but Nicolle got right back on the horse, or should I say right back in her boat, and decided the time was now to start her business, DoryWoman Rowing.

If you’re having visions of rowing through the lightly falling snow, you should head over to the DoryWoman Rowing website to see if your vision matches up with reality, because Nicolle has some very cool footage up on her home page right now of just such magic! You can, and should, also follow Nicolle @dorywomanrowing on Instagram, DoryWomanRowing on Facebook.

AND DON’T MISS the BONUS drop - I hit the water (virtually) with Nicolle and her client Nancy - and you’ll never guess what happens!:
