Send us Fan Mail
Join me as I return from my unplanned hiatus to share the profound lessons learned from my own encounters with loss. The landscape of grief is complex, and in this episode, I peel back the layers of emotion that surround my dad's hospice care, the lasting sorrow from my mom's passing, and the collective mourning of losses within my beloved communities. I confront the duality of celebrating longevity while pre-grieving an inevitable farewell, and I extend an invitation to you to embrace the full spectrum of these feelings alongside me.

This conversation extends a gentle hand to those who seek to comfort others, illuminating the delicate art of emotional validation. Learn through my insights how to craft supportive interactions that honor and respect the emotional landscapes of those we care about. Whether empathizing with a partner's weary spirit or approaching someone's recurring struggles with a non-harmful touch, we explore how our responses can nurture or neglect the human need for acknowledgement. Let's walk this path of healing and growth, reminding ourselves of the transformative power of simply being there for one another.Personal Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nickiekrommingahill

43 min - 35. A Conversation with Sam Monk
Send us Fan Mail
When Sam Monk walked into my life during a theatre program, little did I know that we'd be here today, celebrating his engagement to Derek! Sam's path from educator to a passionate photographer and now a devoted fiancé is a story that resonates with the courage and authenticity we all aspire to embody.
Additionally, we acknowledge the cornerstone of any significant life shift: support. The LGBTQ community's journey is underscored by the strength of solidarity, and the concept of 'chosen family' emerges as a beacon of hope for many. To those listening, remember you're not alone, and there's a world of resources and compassionate ears, like the Trevor Project, ready to support you.Personal Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nickiekrommingahill

On today's episode, I share with you a story of theatre rejection. A familiar story for those of us who work in this business, but a challenge just the same.
