IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE
You feel it deep inside.
Whatever is happening (or not happening) in your life is just not working.
Do any of these sound like you?
“Who am I to start my own business. I don’t have the skills.”
“I need a career change, but where do I begin?”
“I’m not happy in my marriage, but I don’t want to hurt my kids.”
“I know there is more to myself than this. I want to explore who I really am.”
“I dream about living abroad, but I’m afraid to take the leap.”
“Something needs to change, I just don’t know what.”
Fitting in was never the plan for you. You are here to stand out and believe in your dreams.
Listen to that inner whisper. It’s there to tell you something.
BUT HERE’S THE THING
You’re stuck. You’re confused. You’re overwhelmed by all the to-dos and not sure where to start
Let’s be real — you’re terrified of BELIEVING in yourself.
The fear keeps bringing you back to the question: “What if it doesn’t work out? What if I’m wrong? What if I fail?!”
Change is scary. Stepping into the vast unknown without control over the outcome is rarely comfortable.
You need a little PUSH.
But not any push. A loving and supportive nudge from the people who genuinely understand you.
People who get what it’s like to feel different and alone. They know what it means to be isolated and misunderstood while living with various complex intersectional identities.
I call us n’betweeners.
Being among a group of encouraging people as you take the risk could be the simple support you need — a community that understands you when you’re most scared, most vulnerable, and want to run away.
You deserve a circle of like-minded people who will have your back as you step into a new life chapter uninhibited.
What if you could go to a place that gives you the courage to do what you’ve been afraid to?
A soft cushion to land on when you need to take a risk with people who understand and see you in all of your intersectional identities.
You don’t have to keep searching. It’s here — a circle of besties ready to be your cheerleaders.
I’m here to offer you a place to be bold without standing out.
The nest
your n’betweener sanctuary
A community of like-minded people to support you in fulfilling your untapped dreams.
This is a home where all of you belongs. Be bold, without feeling “different.”
January 11th, 2025-June 14th, 2025
“Finally, a place I belong.
I never thought I would come across the day I would be in a space of people who experience life similar to me. I was able to feel whole and celebrate my n’betweeness."
— Mytch - they, them
What is The nest?
The nest is a place to be uniquely you without fear of judgment or shame. You get to be bold without feeling “different.”
It’s an exclusive and intimate circle of like-minded people, like you, ready to make a radical change.
In The nest, you will:
Find a community where you authentically feel a sense of belonging.
Feel supported by a group of people ready to be your cheerleader every step of your journey.
Receive coaching that will uplift you and help you truly believe in yourself.
It’s your nest to come home to.
This space is designed for n’betweeners — people who navigate multiple complex identities.
Here, you get a space where your intersectional identities are seen, understood, and represented.
The nest is an immersive 6-month program designed to empower individuals to believe in and fulfill their repressed hopes and desires.
In the nest, members are supported by a community of people, who are also working through life transitions, and building on their dreams. The intention is to create a safe space to feel challenged and explore yourself.
Join us from Jan. 11 -June 14, 2025.
“An instant sense of community”
— Jasmine Schimmel (she, her)
Find a home for all of you
You know that exhale you take when you step into your home after a long day? There’s no better feeling than that, but what happens when you have multiple “homes?” Several identities and parts of yourself that take turns coming home and feeling comfortable?
The number one epidemic right now is loneliness.
It’s painful trying to belong to spaces where you feel like an outcast, different, too much, or even too little.
I’m sure you know what it feels like to be a chameleon — constantly changing yourself to fit in with those around you.
You don’t have to do that in The nest. Bringing just you will do. There’s no need for acting or withholding, just be the unfiltered you. The nest is a community hub for the n’betweener who is, well, n’between. n’between a transition or change and needs some support.
It’s a home away from home.
The nest is a welcoming sanctuary where like-minded individuals converge to move through a life shift together. The nest is an intentional space to connect and support. You’ll create relationships that last well beyond the 6-month program. Imagine drinking a glass of wine with your BFF after a long day or calling her for a laugh after a cry session while getting that tools and support to move you to the next step in your life. That’s what you get here.

Am I an n’betweener?
So what is an n’betweener?
An n’betweener is an individual who desires to know themself in their complex marginalized identities.
We show up in infinitely unique ways. We’re women of color, mixed-race, multicultural immigrants, queer Muslims, Latinx youth, and a multitude of other intersecting identities.
n’betweeners are multifaceted and beautiful beings, but it’s often a lonely experience. We’re not represented, so it’s common to internalize that we don’t belong anywhere.
Healing happens when we’re reflected and seen. That experience flourishes when we’re in community with one another.
This circle is for you if you are an n’betweener looking for community, growth, and long-term change. This isn’t a short-term fix, but a milestone on the journey to radical self-progression.
What are you waiting for?

“The nest has changed my life by showing me that I’m not alone.
I’ve made a group of lifelong friends. We cried, we laughed, we danced. People I don’t have to explain myself to.
They know what it is like to be treated as other.”
Katherine - she, her
Unsure if The nest is for you?
When do you feel like you most belong?
When does Trevor Noah most belong?
Here’s what I asked him:
“Trevor, when is it that you feel like you most belong?”
His answer you ask?
When he’s with his closest friends. He shared how he carefully chooses his inner circle.
Community is what creates spaces of belonging.
Back in 2022, I got to see Trevor Noah for a live taping of The Daily Show. He’s served as my greatest n’betweener teacher. He’s taught me the art of embracing all the conflicting parts of myself.
Hey, I’m Nora.
Nora Alwah is a TEDx speaker, psychotherapist, and mental health educator with a decade of experience.
Nora was born in the space n’between.
She is a mixed-race queer cis-woman of color, and a multilingual immigrant from Denmark and Comoros.
Nora coined the term n’betweener™ to capture the experience of individuals living at the intersection of privilege and oppression.
Individuals who struggle with a sense of belonging, regularly code-switch, feel misunderstood, and often hold themselves back from living their full potential.
Got a question?
-
There is no one right way of being an n'betweener. An n'betweener is someone who is trying to understand themselves in their complexity. They are someone who often feels misunderstood, and alone in their experience. If you resonate with this, you're probably an n'betweener.
-
The cost of the 6-month program is $1595.
-
No, it is preferred but not required. If you're unable to join a virtual session, you can still participate in The nest.

-
