Hi, I’m Dr. NIcole.
I’m a scientist that studies behavioral neuroscience, and I not only have depression, but openly speak about my story to help others shatter their shame in order to live a healthier life. But it wasn’t always this way. For fear of being judged, I hid my depression from the world for most of life. But that all changed when I had a ski accident in 2019.
Recovering from my traumatic brain injury helped me to embrace my depression as part of who I am. In doing so, I now can be vulnerable for those that can't be, and be a guide for those who want to support others.
I am a serial entrepreneur, and a proud Coloradoan by way of Maine, and spent a decade as a health sciences curator. My personal and professional lived experiences taught me to use a humorous and heartfelt interplay of science, vulnerable storytelling, and effective tools to bring people together. My goal is simple: shatter the shame, decrease the stigma of mental health and increase support.
No Shame, No Guilt, Just More Good Days
