Evolve with Nicolette

This week I share about my medical history with stress and how it has manifested in my body over the years. From getting tummy aches when I was in elementary because of bad notes home to almost dying from a brain hemorrhage in 2011 to a frozen shoulder due to unbearable stress- I share my story to be a mirror for you. Maybe my story sounds familiar to you and you have been experiencing something similar. Maybe it's not just a tummy ache or a acne breakout...look at what is stressing you in your life that maybe showing up in your body. This is your reminder to pay attention to the alarms your body is giving you and to not ignore them because it can be fatal. Culturally, whether Latino or Asian, we have normalized constant stress and keep on trucking. Culturally we normalized not going to the doctor and waiting till its unmanageable. It's stories like mine that opens up the conversations to take better care of ourselves. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/evolvewithnicolette/support [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/evolvewithnicolette/support]

**MAJOR CORRECTION** In the beginning of the episode I mention I started therapy in December 2022 🤦🏻‍♀️ BRAIN FART! I actually started at the end of December 2020. Alright, you may proceed. Forgive my brain spasm! This week, I share my therapy story. As a Mexican Filipino American, I come from two cultures that are similar in which therapy and mental health are very taboo subjects amongst our elders. We do not share our feelings and any mention of therapy let alone medicine that may help you...are for the crazies!  Welp, as your favorite cousin, I'm here to tell you how I got started and share some tips that may help you in starting your therapy journey.  Tap into these resources for therapy references: @Latinxtherapy on IG --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/evolvewithnicolette/support [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/evolvewithnicolette/support]

The pod is back this week with a long awaited episode with the amazing and inspirational Dulce Toscano. Back in September 2022, I got the chance to sit down with Dulce and reflect on how the past year and half of traveling aboard and running a successful coaching business has been. We also talk about being a first generation daughter and healing her inner niña through the life she is building for her self. This one of my favorite episodes thus far and I can't wait for you all to hear it!

What is poppin y'all! Your girl, Nico couldn't leave 2022 hanging like that without a new episode! I reflect on how this year- 16 months have ended up for myself and my family. Let me tell you, in 2021...I had no idea it was going to turn out like this. This was my most challenging year overall in my 30's and I'm so glad to put it all in the past and grow from it. We are transmuting 2022 and moving forward in 2023.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/evolvewithnicolette/support [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/evolvewithnicolette/support]

This week, Dr. Christina Vivit joined me in the Kumu USA Los Angeles studio! She is a doctor of physical therapy, a life coach, and host of the BIPOC Rising podcast. We discuss her healing journey as a health care provider and being able to show up in the community as a life coach. It’s such a treat to hear Christina as a first generation Filipino American talk about healing and inner peace in a way that is attainable and sustainable while being a health care provider.
