This is a deep dive into the human psyche. Understanding there is a big difference between happiness or the illusion of happiness and meaning in your life. Nicky’s had a journey of discovering who he really is and appreciating what makes him different. As a child he stood out from other kids because he was sensitive resulting in him being an easy target for others. This and his ability to connect deeply with everything and everyone led to bigger problems that surfaced in his adult life. He discusses the importance of adversity in our lives which we seek to avoid yet ultimately is the true catalyst for change and evolution.
As an adult he moved to India drawn by the yoga teachings which he couldn’t find in Australia. He landed an incredible job working for India’s largest company which ended relatively soon after arriving. Nicky suffered a nervous breakdown a culmination of a number of factors including an awful boss, a previous bad relationship and dissatisfaction with what he was doing day to day. He talks about his body restricting who he is, confining him in an unnatural way and trying to find where the connections are with people rather than where the differences are. His understanding of who he is and why he’s here coupled with the ability to reflect on extremely challenging periods in his life and recognise their importance, to me is a real gift. I truly hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
