Nicole Foster is the founder and CEO of Cajou Creamery, a plant-based ice cream company who has ventured into tech with the creation of Sommos, the AI-powered storytelling platform. Sommos helps families preserve, organize, and share their stories before they’re lost to memory loss, digital clutter, or time. Nicole is a legacy advocate and former civil rights and healthcare attorney building a new frontier at the intersection of memory identity and technology.

Nicole's Notes from the Sidelines:

  1. Courage is built and nurtured from a strong belief in self, and self-love, and the belief in the universe.
  2. Make decisions based on intuition, what feels light versus heavy.
  3. In stillness, you start to hear spirit. Give yourself the gift of stillness daily, even if it's just 5 minutes.
  4. Think about what you put in your body; food, music, and conversation need to be stimulating and growth-promoting or they will lead to stagnancy.
  5. Life is abundant; it's not about giving things up, but rather moving toward things for my highest good.
  6. Everything happens for my best and highest good. If something doesn't happen for me, then it wasn't meant to, and I'm not going to freak out.
  7. We all have a story; you could either be the heroine or the victim.
  8. We need to train our bodies to understand when spirit is answering, what it feels like in the body, and trust it.
  9. Give yourself liberty to think big, and write out the vision. We don't have to know how, but it's the adventure.
  10. The act of storytelling is so beneficial, especially for the elderly. It increases cognitive functioning, and helps stave off the risk of dementia, increases wellbeing, and the storyteller and listener release oxytocin, feeling connection, love, and pride.
  11. We all have knowing, and the ability to trust intuition, but it takes internal work of shutting off noise from the outside.
  12. Midlife isn't a crisis; it's a reinvention. We need to support our fellow sisters.
