How is The 8 Weeks to Awesome Wellness Challenge™️ different from other programs?
We love this question. There are 2 main reasons:
- The 8 Weeks to Awesome Wellness Challenge is different because it’s rooted in education.
It is 100% about teaching you the WHY behind why you need to change habits.
Instead of telling you to ‘do this’ and ‘do that’, you’ll disco ver WHY you should, in terms that are easy to understand.
Understanding the ‘why’ does a couple of things…
It means you’re educated and empowered which means you can make these decisions on your own.
AND…
It sets you up for long term success, which means you can make informed decisions LONG TERM, which also means you increase your odds of hitting your goals – LONG TERM.
- The second reason The 8 Weeks to Awesome Wellness Challenge is different is because of The Hidden Stress Framework I’ve created.
You may not be aware of this, but you’re likely repeating a number of habits every single day that are adding stress to your body and brain. It’s this Hidden Stress that can sabotage your results, and keep you from optimal physical and mental health – without you even knowing it.
The 8 Weeks To Awesome Wellness Challenge™️ is designed to help you reduce the cumulative (total) amount of stress on your body so that you achieve the balance necessary to reach your health and wellness goals.
Bottom line: Less stress = more awesome 🙂

I just signed up. Do I need to start right away?
If you’ve signed up for The 8 Weeks to Awesome, your start date is 100% flexible. You can sign up, watch the introductory videos, and THEN decide when you want to start. It’s completely up to you!
I just signed up and cannot access the Welcome Video. What should I do?
Regardless of your program, you can access the Welcome Video by clicking on the plus sign (+) in the section below “Step 1: Watch the Welcome Video”.
Once you click on the + sign, the section will open and the Welcome Video will appear. Then just hit play.
Reminder: Once you’ve completed the Welcome Video, click the “Mark Complete” button so you can move onto the next module.
I'm trying to move to the next module/lesson/section, but I keep getting a screen that says "Complete lessons before you can access this page."
Before you can advance to the next module/section, you must mark all previous activities as “COMPLETED”. Also, within a module, before you can advance to the next activity, you must mark all previous presentations, videos, PDFs or other activity as “COMPLETED”.
If you’ve just started the program, and you’re unable to move onto the next section, be sure you:
- mark the Welcome Video as “COMPLETED”
- complete the mandatory Consent Form. This means you must agree to all 5 questions and then click “FINISH”.
I just started and am not sure what to write in the Stress Less Routine.
The Stress Less Routine will become clearer as you get into the program. The first time you’ll add a habit is after you watch Train Your Brain for Habit Change, when it’s suggested that you allot time everyday to review your Intention. And then each week, you’ll add new healthy habits into your routine/planner. The goal is that you finish the program having complete clarity on how to fit healthy habits into your busy life, and so that you have your own unique, healthy, stress-reducing routine!
Can I pause or restart the program after I start?
If you purchased The 8 Weeks to Awesome course, you can pause the program each week.
Plus, you can always re-start once it’s completed. To restart, just head to the bottom of the curriculum and open the section called “WANT TO RESTART?”.
Is it mandatory for me to fill out the daily trackers?
Yes (and no)!
The answer is ‘yes’ because the Lifestyle Trackers, without a doubt, increase your odds of success.
They are part of this program because:
- they help you recognize patterns that you may not have been aware of in the past. When you see patterns, you can then start making adjustments.
- they help you connect your habits to your health. A decision you made today can impact you weeks from now, especially if it’s a chronic habit. These Trackers help you connect the dots.
- the accountability helps to build new habits and increases your odds of success
- they are a phenomenal way for you to see how far you’ve come!
The answer is also ‘No’ because we can’t tell you what to do if you don’t want to do it! Just remember that the more you keep track of your progress, the greater your odds of success.
Will I receive a Certificate of Completion for training credits or CECs?
Yes! If you would like a certificate of completion, then you just need to pass the quizzes in each module. If you pass, which we know you will, then you’ll find the certificate in your account profile.

General Questions
I didn't receive my Hidden Stress Score results.
If you haven’t received your Results Report, your Hidden Stress Score is likely lost in your spam/junk/promotions folder. If you still cannot locate the assessment, please email us with your full name and the email address that you used to receive the Results Report.
I'm still not getting my Welcome emails or Notes from Nicole.
Your best bet is to mark our emails as “not spam” and then add the courses@ email to your address book/contacts so that emails are sent to your primary inbox instead. Unfortunately, your inbox is likely filtering your emails according to whatever rules it has set up. If you still have problems, be sure to email us!
