Nicki Pike - Life as our label. Dealing with grief.
Nicki Pike grew up in a small town in Alberta, Canada before moving to a bigger city and completing a degree in Psychology. Since then her journey has been one of growth and loss, loss and growth, to the point sometimes it feels like she’s stuck on repeat! Life has knocked her down more than once over the last few years but these challenges, these struggles led to a new passion for her - identifying the labels she has been living under and learning how to live a label free life.
She went through fertility treatment to have her daughter, got divorced, faced multiple sexual assaults, lost her mother in 2019 then her brother in 2020. Through each of these events she found herself labeled by other people, and sadly she also labelled herself. Her story is about how she survived each of these events and is now living her life the best way she knows how, which is one day at a time - understanding grief and trauma don’t end, but that she can still make choices everyday to live her best life. In this podcast:
Nicki talks about the built up anger she felt when her brother died
How we take on the labels other people give us
Why we should talk about grief and loss early on.
