Expanded x Ep. 40: Nic Weinstein
“Every single thing I’ve done in the past has all been little tiny steps leading me to this moment.”
In this super-packed episode, one of my ultimate expanders Nic Weinstein, joins us to share his many journeys in this lifetime. He invites us into his story of calling in, and being called in by, his partner Ashley Neese, how their partnership evolved and how they communicated with the spirit baby that has since come through. He describes how they prepared for parenthood and how they continue to practice conscious co-parenting. Nic also shares his transgender journey, from finding expanders to fully transitioning.
We also talk business as Nic describes how sickness and healing with nature led him on the course of herbalism and opening his own business. Lacy and Nic round out the episode with expansive financial tips most everyone can benefit from.

Words from Nic:
“Every single thing I’ve done in the past has all been little tiny steps leading me to this moment.”
“A better investment of your money is to invest it in yourself.”
“There was this invisibility [of the transgender community]. I was having an experience for half of my life that I couldn’t conceptualize. I didn’t have any expanders. When I was in San Francisco hanging out with this women she asked if I wanted to see a picture of her ex-boyfriend. He was trans […] The second I saw him I said “that is me.” Tt was the first moment of expansion for me. That is when I started the process.”
