In a world where stories shape our lives, you need to know Nicole Christie – a true storyteller extraordinaire. She's the mastermind behind Tulla Productions, a storytelling studio that weaves connections between big brands, amazing individuals, and all of us in the audience. But hold up, Nicole's journey isn't just business; it's a rollercoaster of self-discovery, bouncing back, and the radical act of putting yourself first.   Nicole learned the art of choosing herself during a seriously tough time. It was like a trial by fire, but guess what? She emerged from the flames shining brighter than ever. I had the best chat with Nicole, and you're in for a treat when you hear her story.   She faced medical curveballs that could've knocked anyone flat – a crazy side effect of hand-foot-mouth disease and a curveball with a cancer diagnosis right smack in the middle of a pandemic. Most folks would've waved the white flag, but not Nicole. She saw these hurdles as messages, little nudges from her own body telling her she wasn't on the right path. So, what did she do? She built her business as she healed. Talk about a powerhouse move!   But wait, there's more. Life threw some unexpected plot twists Nicole's way. She realized something she never saw coming: her marriage might be emotionally abusive. Wrap your head around that. She went from thinking, "Maybe things aren't quite right" to standing tall and saying, "I deserve better." Nicole took the bravest step and sought help for the toxic situation, crafted a plan, and took back control of her life.   Be sure to let me know what you think by leaving a comment, tagging me on Instagram (@ ambermccue), or even leaving a review wherever you listen to the Podcast.   In this episode, we chat about: Nicole’s survival story Resilience in the face of adversity: Rewriting life's script How to recognize, survive, and thrive after narcissistic abuse The art of choosing oneself
