✨ Ep. 7: Meet Nicholas--Caregiving, Cats, and Catharsis
Welcome back to Sticky Hopebox Soapbox Podcast! I’m B—as in--your Bestie in the HOPE department, and I’m so glad you're here!
Every episode, in approximately 20 minutes, I aim to bring you a pocket-sized dose of hope, a resource or coping skill, and of course, a sticky note of the week!
In today’s episode, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Nicholas! He is an author, poet, podcast host, cat dad, former peer specialist, and great listener. In this first episode with Nicholas, we talk about, of course, his favorite color, his top coping skills, how caregiving became full circle in caring for his mom in her last days, grief, anticipation of death, baseball, and mental health challenges. He tells us about his podcast, his poetry and writing, and the party that I haven't been able to stop talking about since I heard about it. This episode is full of heart, humor and hope.
Nicholas is a white man with short red hair and medium-length red beard, or as he refers to himself, a diminished redhead. He is wearing a black button grandfather shirt and black headphones. This is recorded in May of 2025, and we are on a video call. He has a painting and a bookcase with books behind him. He is sitting down in a chair with his black and white cat, Bubba, joining him on his lap at times. Please meet the nurturing narrator, Nicholas.
Let’s keep going, together. 💛
