The 'Simple Life' star - who will be joined by 'GOOP' founder Gwyneth Paltrow for the first event of her recently launched Pearl xChange series next month - says the theme of the conference is inspired by how she is "building" her life.

She shared: "I'm 34 and the past four years have been really interesting. It's been a time for me to kind of quiet down and listen to the world around me.

"I have a husband, we have two kids and I'm really building my life. That's what my 30s have been about. That's been the theme; focusing on what I want to do and who I want to be and really taking that seriously."

The conference, which will take place at Sheraton Universal, Los Angeles on November 8, will feature talks from the likes of astronaut Dr. Jeanette Epps, life coach Dougall Fraser as well as a special appearance from the 'Mortdecai' actress.

Speaking in a video for Oprah.com, Nicole continued: "We will talk about everything from conscious living to science to building your business; friendship and how to deal with fear. We're really covering all aspects of life between the six different speakers."
