Nicole Spindler is a human resources professional, graduate of John Carroll University, and author of Beyond Life's Moments: An Empowering Outlook on Transcending Unexpected Setbacks. She has always had a burning passion for writing and, learning from past hurdles, to bring a message of vulnerability, self-acceptance, and perseverance. It is her aspiration to inspire others to embrace their often life-derailing situations so that they may emerge not only victorious, but empowered to face whatever may come next.

In today’s episode Nicole shares the moment her life turned upside down, and the light, love, and life that came from walking into the unknown. When she was 15 years-old, Nicole found out that her dad was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of care. It was so rare that there was only one doctor in the entire world who could help treat her dad. Early on, Nicole knew that somehow this was meant to happen to her family. She knew this challenge was going to teach her something, and if they could just get through this moment and beyond, this was going to lead to greater and better things ahead. Nicole took this mindset and walked into the unknown with her dad and his diagnosis, her mom’s eventual cancer diagnosis, and her diagnosis of anxiety and PTSD, and it’s been one of the greatest experiences of her life. Nicoles’s reflections and ability to see her challenges as transformative rather than traumatic will remind you that there is so much growth and learning that comes from life’s difficult moments, and that the light at the end of the tunnel is possible for all of us.

“That is truly one of the most unappreciated gifts of life, recognizing that every moment, every day, is a teaching moment. A moment for you to grow and become the best version of yourself, and get you one step closer to your profession, passion, purpose, and true potential.”
