Wake Up The Sun

Nicole is the founder and creator of the Chestee, a patented sports bra designed for women who work out with barbell. Nicole’s “aha!" moment came to her when she was competing at Wadapalooza in 2012. As one of two women competing, she was grouped with a men's heat. She was competing in a 20-minute AMRAP and all the barbells were baking in the sun. After feeling how hot and uncomfortable the bare bar was on her chest, she reracked her bar and stuffed her tank top underneath her sports bra. Soon after, she designed her own prototype, patented her design, and began outfitting female athletes and competitors. Throughout the interview, Nicole shares about how her life in the corporate world informed her business, as well as some of the most significant habits in her life. From making the bed every morning, to reading and writing, to daily meditation, Nicole shares the ways that she stays organized and inspired. Learn more about Nicole by visiting her on Instagram @butterandbiscuits or checking out her bu
