I'm beyond excited to welcome today's guest, Nikki Wendel, to the podcast! Nikki is not only one of my favorite people to talk all things mental health with, but also an encouraging force for change in my own life. I met Nikki almost 3 years ago, sharing brunch at a random diner in Virginia (a story for another time). I quickly learned that she is a determined, lifelong learner, who inevitably rubs off on whoever she is with. As a former athlete turned fitness coach, and now passionate mental health advocate for teens, Nikki shares her story of coping with injury and stepping away from a beloved sport, learning the importance of mind-body connection, and finding what works for her along the way.
In this episode we cover the nuances of mental health treatment, the benefits of movement for mental health, and finding what works for us as we continue to grow as we go. I share about challenges with returning to routine, desire to make changes in my own life, and the ways attuning to emotions in the body has changed how I approach therapy. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it for you!
