Black Sheep Coaching

“Nicole taught me to recognize my natural strengths
and encouraged me to pursue a path that suited me,
rather than reshaping myself to fit a mold I thought I should fit. “

Black Sheep Coaching guides, nourishes, and celebrates
creative, spiritual and driven women around the world.
Our specialty is helping gifted women unleash and enjoy
their potential for both their own personal fulfillment
and for the betterment of humanity as a whole.

Are You Gifted?

Do you have “too many interests” and have trouble “sticking with” something?
Are you highly creative and have a vivid imagination?
Are you good at problem solving and enjoy a challenge?
Do you have floods of ideas running through your head?
Do you have a strong drive to achieve?
Do you feel a strong need to make a difference?
Are you bored by routine?
Are you good at a lot of things?
Do you pick up on things more quickly than others?
Have you been told you are “too intense?”
Do people tell you you talk too fast?
Do you think about several things at once?
Do you tend to be idealistic?
Do you have a strong desire to know and keep going until you get the answer?
Do you have a tendency towards perfectionism?
Are you emotionally sensitive and can feel the emotion of a room or of others?
Do you often see or sense things others cannot?
Do you feel a deep spiritual connection to life?
Are you impulsive?
Are you more sensitive to light, fabrics and sound than others?
Do you doubt yourself?
Have you been told you have excessively high standards?
Do you often feel misunderstood or alienated or that you don’t fit in?
Do you crave a vibrant, rich life full of meaning and to be who you truly are?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, you are more than likely gifted. You can get your IQ tested if you officially want to know. You don’t have to be gifted (or to know for sure if you are) to benefit from our expertise. In fact, it is likely that you may be gifted and not know it or believe it. Contact us for a complimentary initial 55-minute session to experience how we can help you peel away your layers and accept yourself for who you are meant to be.

How We Can Help:
Are indecision, procrastination, perfectionism (the unhelpful kind), impulsiveness, and emotional reactivity getting in the way of your success? Nicole Justine helps her clients harness their innate intensity, drive, imagination, and who they uniquely are into a life of purpose, passion, and profound joy. Her clients emphasize their increased sense of self-confidence, self-acceptance, purpose, and deeper satisfaction with life after working with her.

“You may have a different path but that does not mean you are lost.
You may have a greater purpose planned for you than you can ever imagine.”
~ Nicole Justine Cavanaugh

What Does Being “Gifted” Mean?

Being gifted means having an IQ of 130 or above, which is about 2% of the population. It is natural to feel isolated because being gifted is rare and it is not openly talked about. You may not even know you are gifted. Being gifted is not about what you know, but about how you naturally think, approach, and experience the world.

There is a misconception that being gifted is easy and is only about having high intelligence, but there is so much more to it than that. While you may easily and naturally learn faster and see solutions before others do, other elements of life such as high emotional and sensory sensitivity, being idealistic and seeing possibility everywhere, and having more interests to pursue than time seems to allow can be difficult to navigate, especially without understanding and support.

That is why being gifted is often called a “double-edged sword” and many gifted women do not often achieve their full potential. This is detrimental both for you and for humanity as a whole. But, there is a way! We are here to help you turn that sword into a magical wand, so you can create powerfully and live vibrantly as who you were always meant to be. Contact us for a complimentary initial 55-minute session to begin powerfully and purposefully living in your potential.

“Nicole really helped open my eyes and made me realize what I was passionate about.
She helped me stay on track. If you need guidance, I highly suggest Nicole.
She’ll help you onto the path you wish to be.”

What We Do and Why We Do It:

As gifted women, we live in a heightened reality where the magical, childlike sense of wonder and possibility is the “real world” for us, and others do not always understand or support that. But we feel the insatiable urge to shift something in the world, to make a difference, to create from the depths of our being, to soak in all life has to offer. To live to the fullest of who we are.

This is not some fairytale urge. This is non-negotiable. It is who we are, and who we are created to be.

We are often taught to suppress our gifts and intensity, or we just figured it out on our own that in order to fit in and be accepted, that is what we needed to do. Fitting in became more important than being who we are. We may have known that we were gifted, or we may not have uncovered that truth – until now. Either way, what we may not have learned is that the very same traits that make us gifted women are the ones that can turn against us, and that the challenges we have, that we feel might be “wrong” with us, may just in fact be a part of our gifted nature.

That was the past. Now, we can learn to consciously accept, take care of, and gently balance ourselves. There is a place for you as you are, as you were meant to be – alive and beautiful and vibrant. You are about to begin an exciting and daring adventure!

Redefining “Black Sheep”:

A black sheep is a woman who contributes innovative and meaningful ideas and action to the world because of her willingness to deviate from the accepted standards of the group and the courage to be herself.
