Educator. Counselor. Attorney. Entrepreneur. Mom. Wife. ~ and your Go-To Mom for dyslexia education, collaboration, and inspiration.

From the very beginning, I’ve been an educator and people-person. I started my career teaching reading and math to Title I elementary students (the irony is not lost on me). I quickly realized that I wanted to follow my passion to help students beyond the classroom as a school counselor. After completing two graduate degrees in Educational Psychology, I spent a few years as a school counselor (at all levels K-12) and college psychology instructor.

Hi, I'm Nicole
Holcomb.

Now, I have the best job ever! I spend my time helping other moms find clarity on parenting children with dyslexia through education, collaboration, and community. Podcasting and connecting with the dyslexia community is my passion.

When I turned 30, I knew I wanted to expand my knowledge and ways I could help others. So, I quit my job and went to law school. After graduating, I spent over ten years in legal compliance for a large metro Atlanta school district. After learning our daughter was dyslexic, I decided to pursue my passion as a civil rights attorney.

I have to admit . . . my most rewarding job (at least most days it feels like hard work) is being a mom. I am sincerely blessed to have been chosen to be Haddie’s mom. Dyslexia was not on our radar, nor were we prepared to enter the world of parenting a child with learning differences, challenges, and talents.

At our house (yep, full of educators), the focus is not on earning all As, but doing your best and building a strong family bond. That may be a surprise to many of you. I’ve seen first-hand what happens to children’s self-esteem and motivation when their parents have unrealistic expectations. Spoiler Alert: Your child will not remember years from now learning vocabulary for a quiz, but she will remember you being there supporting her struggles and cheering on her accomplishments. At our house, we spend as much time as possible together. Most nights, you’ll find us at soccer practice or snuggled up on the couch talking about our daughter’s next Minecraft build or what’s happening on her favorite tv shows.
