Dear Recovery Friend,
In the wintertime of 2022, while in residential treatment at The Emily Program in Seattle, I created the idea of an βEating Disorder Recovery Coin.β
My vision was to see this project through so that it could help others who are affected by an eating disorder, like myself. This idea motivated, encouraged and inspired me not only to keep working on it but to also continue working hard on my own treatment and recovery over the next year.
After drawing a handful of prototypes, I soon settled on one that is very similar to the coin you see today. This project went from a couple of colorful 2-D drawings to a real, physical coin! Passionately working on this all for over a year, it kept me going in very hard times and is a testament to what I learned while in treatment.
This special coin can be used as: a visual reminder to use skills while eating, as a motivational tool, a gift for a friend or loved one who is also in recovery from an eating disorder, as a fidget or even as a lucky charm that can be carried in a pocket or bag, you decide.
I hope that my βEating Disorder Recovery Coinβ falls into the hands of people that can really benefit from it and that it; motivates, inspires and helps them challenge their eating disorder and that it fuels a fire within them to never give up, so that they too can find a path that works to living their version of a life worth living.
Warmly,
Nicole βNikkiβ Ocean π

After leaving her abusive marriage in 2000, with her infant son in tow, Nicole found a few unexpected bumps in the road that she traveled upon.
With her young son in her custody, Nicole was faced with deciding what was more important; getting divorced from her abusive husband through the help of legal-aid and having to quit her job, file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, get on welfare and government assistance or to stay the course and face years of living a life with what she foresaw was an uncertain future, with undue hardship and strain. Little did she know then, the magnitude or impact of her decision that fateful day.
She made one of the most difficult decisions of her life and chose to βplay the gameβ so that she could rebuild her and her young sonβs life. Looking back, Nicole says, βIt was the best decision I ever made, next to leaving her sonβs father and their unhealthy relationship.β
In the years to come, Nicole discovered a niche-industry within real estate, that turned her life around and helped create multi-million dollar producing software products that were able to give her the much-needed answer to her prayers for a better life for her and her son.
Against all odds, she was able to beat the system and climb her way out of what seemed like a bottomless pit of an existence of being a βWelfare Mom,β to a life that was filled with stability, financial security and unlimited opportunities.
In April of 2022, Nicole sold her real estate automation software and coaching business as well as sold her vacation rental condo in Florida. She was able to be not work for a few years and live off of the proceeds.
One of her current passion projects is her: "Eating Disorder Recovery Coin," which she created into a real coin in February of 2024. Today, she is focused on using her coin for good, to help others in recovery and has created a branded clothing and accessory collection with multiple lines that incorporate AI, her art, her sonβs art and images of her βEating Disorder Recovery Coin.β
Another project that is close to Nicoleβs heart is a book and video course that she has been happily working on and creating in 2025. Itβs titled βI Am Old And I Use AI - Life Hacks With AI: A Starter Guide for Middle Aged Folks and Beyond.β She hopes to release it shortly. Join the waitlist above!
After spending 2 years in treatment programs in the Seattle area, she has come a LONG way and is committed to continue working hard on her own recovery. She also has fought and graciously won her battle with breast cancer a few years ago. Nicole is a fighter and survivor. These experiences have shaped her into who she is today and have helped her prioritize what really matters in her life. Life is short and Y.O.L.O.
Today, Nicole lives in Washington state, close to the family and hometown that shaped her. Recovery remains a daily commitment: one she embraces as she works to restore her health, mobility, and overall quality of life.
Her greatest pride, however, is her son, Nick Surfer Ocean. Now 25, heβs living his dream: working on a farm and with Upcountry Farmers Market in Maui, traveling the world, and carving out his own path. Watching him thrive is a reminder of how far theyβve both come.
Looking back, Nicole sees not just the struggles but the victories: the moments of courage, resilience, and reinvention. Life has tested her in ways she never imagined, but sheβs still here, still fighting, and still finding new ways to create, heal, and inspire. And for that, she is endlessly proud, not just of her son, but of herself.
