I’m on a mission to help women remember

who they are and rise into the Queen

they were born to be.

You’re not broken.
You’re grieving.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

Broken Wings Broken Dreams is my story of loss, healing, and hope after losing my son.


If you’re ready to start healing, this book is for you.

You don’t need to “get over it.”
You need space to grieve, tools to heal, and permission to rise.

The Healing Cocoon is a lifeline after infant or pregnancy loss—guiding you from pain to purpose and silence to strength.

If you’re ready to begin again, start here.

You’ve been through the fire.
Now it’s time to rise.

The Queen’s Companion Book is your guide to healing, power, and purpose.

Why I Write

Hi, I’m Nicole.

For years, I poured my energy into serving others: my country, my family, my community. But somewhere along the way, I stopped hearing my own voice. Like many women, I wore strength like armor while quietly losing touch with who I truly was.

Writing became the way back.
It started as a whisper, a healing process… and grew into a powerful calling.

I write for the woman who’s forgotten her worth.
I write for the woman who’s been strong for too long.
I write for the woman who needs permission to rise.

These books aren’t just messages. They’re mirrors — calling out the queen within every reader.
If you’re ready to reclaim your identity, your purpose, and your crown — these pages are for you.

With love and truth,

Nicole B. Gebhardt

Broken Dreams, Broken Wings Book

Broken Wings Broken Dreams

Broken Wings, Broken Dreams takes readers on an emotional journey of resilience, hope, and self-discovery. This Amazon Best Seller dives deep into the challenges of overcoming life’s obstacles while illustrating the power of inner strength and perseverance. With captivating storytelling, the book explores the raw emotions of loss, adversity, and the determination needed to rise above it all. 

The Healing Cocoon

The Healing Cocoon, another Amazon Best Seller, is a transformative tale of rebirth and renewal. This book offers a deeply personal exploration of healing from emotional wounds, guiding readers through self-reflection and growth. Drawing on metaphors of metamorphosis, the story unfolds the journey of shedding past pain and emerging more robust, like a butterfly from its cocoon.

The Queen’s Companion Book

Through a fateful and almost fatal fall down the stairs, Nicole began a journey of self-exploration that led her to overcome grief, addiction, and unworthiness. Not wanting to accept negative titles, she shook off the victim persona, met struggles head on, and ultimately rose to claim her virtual crown as a “Bad-Ass Queen.”

Nicole B. Gebhardt’s memoir, Broken Wings, Broken Dreams, is a love story. It is a powerful description of living and loving through the devastating loss of her son Samuel. With open honesty, Gebhardt lays bare distressing details  of her personal life which have contributed to her emotional state. Through this raw rendition of her journey she encourages other mothers to openly grieve the loss of a child as she acknowledges the despair through which she has traveled.
Her sorrow emanates from the pages, yet her thorough coverage of how a child’s death reverberates through the entire family unit makes this book a worthwhile read. Gebhardt gives her readers hope as she tells of the ways she has found to cope by incorporating new traditions of remembrance for her precious lost child.
While this book focuses on infant loss and miscarriage, it is a testament to feminine strength and resilience. The author journals her rise from despair and alcoholism to the new identity of accomplished teacher and life coach.

Princess Diana’s words remind me that being a free spirit isn’t something to hide—it’s something to celebrate. In this post, I reflect on what it means to live boldly, be misunderstood, and still choose authenticity over approval.
