OM DENNE EPISODE
Meet Nicole Staple, co-founder of Brideside — once a fast-growing bridal startup with retail locations across the country and millions in venture funding.
In 2019, as her company scaled, Nicole’s husband was re-diagnosed with terminal cancer.
She found herself signing a $7M term sheet in the same window she learned it was the endgame.
Months later, she buried her husband, faced a global pandemic that crushed her industry, and had to shut the company down.
But what came next wasn’t another “comeback” story.
It was a rebirth that was built with boundaries, holding grief, and the courage to redefine success.
💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to Keep Building When Life Falls Apart: What Nicole held onto when control shattered.
How to Set Boundaries in Grief: The rituals and routines that protected her capacity.
How to Ask for Help (Without Feeling Weak): The community that kept her afloat.
How to Rebuild Work on Your Terms: From 60-hour weeks to sustainable creative flow.
How to Redefine Success: Why she stopped measuring growth by speed — and started measuring it by spaciousness.
This episode is a reminder that entrepreneurship isn’t just about scaling. It's about staying human while you do it.
