Hey Sunshine!

Hi, I’m Nicole — and I created Hey Sunshine to bring light and positivity to those navigating life’s toughest moments.
In July 2020, I discovered lumps growing on my neck. The first doctor dismissed my concerns, insisting it couldn’t be cancer. But something inside me knew differently. I trusted that intuition, sought second and third opinions, and soon learned I was facing not one, but two diagnoses: non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and blood cancer.
That moment changed everything. It taught me the power of self-advocacy — to listen to your body, trust your instincts, and speak up when something feels wrong.
During treatment, I noticed how heavy hospitals can feel — not just physically, but emotionally. I saw how much we all crave small moments of light. For me, that light came through music. Dancing with the nurses became my form of medicine — laughter, rhythm, and a spark of joy that reminded me healing begins from within.
That’s where the idea for Hey Sunshine was born. It’s more than a brand — it’s a reminder that even in the darkest moments, light still exists. Through our products and community, I hope to share a little warmth, comfort, and hope with those who need it most.
