It’s time for a CHANGE

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 — believing in yourself is terrifying. That “what if I fail?” voice keeps creeping in.

Change is scary. The unknown feels unsafe.

What you need isn’t just a push — it’s a loving nudge from people who truly get you.

You know what it’s like to feel different, misunderstood, and n’between.

I call us n’betweeners.

Taking risks is easier when you’re surrounded by folks who see your whole self — your intersections, your fears, your brilliance.

What if there were a place where you felt safe enough to leap?

Where courage meets community?

When do you feel like you most belong?

So what’s 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.

Is |the nest| is for me?

This is a big commitment, and it deserves real consideration.

If you’re unsure, reach out — Nora is here to answer your questions and help you decide if the nest is truly right for you.

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.

Nora, founder of this retreat for big life changes and building a sense of belonging through multicultural community, poses.

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. All virtual meetings will be recorded so you'll be able to watch this in your own time. We strongly you encourage you to attend as you'll get the most of the program.

  • You'll need to secure your housing accommodations for the two in-person retreats in Colorado and New York.

    Lunch will be provided at both retreats, but not dinner.

  • Absolutely. All n'between experiences are welcome. If you feel there's a change needed in your life, you're welcome in The nest. We'll spend time at the beginning of the program identifying the change you want to work towards.

  • This is a deep and intimate experience where we plan accordingly. For this reason, The nest is non-refundable.

    We welcome n'betweeners who are committed and prepared to invest in making a radical change in their life with the support of their community.
