A little about me: High functioning anxiety, clinical depression, fatigue and hopelessness have been a common daily thread in my life. I was my own worst enemy and in short, I hated almost everything about myself – my body, my appearance, the expectations I had for myself. I’d been to therapists that helped me with some of my issues, but still felt something was missing and like we had barely scratched the surface.

I was reluctant to start coaching with Dr. Nicole. After all, I’m the one who helps other people, not the other way around. Vulnerability is my biggest fear, even though I know deep down inside a lot of my issues are much like what most others struggle with. I was terrified to get on board, but thank God I did. Nicole has been surprisingly easy to open up to and be vulnerable with. She doesn’t judge, truly (I’ve had problems with this in the past every time I’ve reached out for help).

As it turns out, I’ve been caught in my own ridiculous story my entire life. I’m now learning to not judge myself, and more importantly, love myself, like actually LOVE myself!! My inner pessimist is dumbfounded. I’m not a ticking time bomb of anger, sadness or resentment anymore. I’m learning to feel emotions and let them out instead of resisting. I’ve only just begun this journey, but for the first time in my life, I feel really good about where I’m going. Dr. Nicole has given me the tools and insight that I’ve needed for these breakthroughs and I can only imagine where I’ll be at the end of my program.
