Have you ever felt like a particular day in your life had a theme? You knew when this day came around it would create a forever memorial upon your heart and mind.  My guest Stanico affectionately known as Nico Church had such an experience. The day for Nico was December 20th and year after year he would wake up and by the time he went to bed an event, good or bad had taken place and when Nico looks back it all had purpose.

On this episode of Navigating Life with Coach Lo Podcast, Nico shares with Coach Lo how he overcame the pains of life that fueled passion within him and ultimately revealed Gods purpose for his life in different areas.

Life can be hard and seem unfair at times and when life takes place we have decisions to make. Due to our humanity we don’t always make the best decision but Nico shares how God caused everything to work out for his good because her still had a plan for Nico’s Life.

Please pause and watch or listen to Nico’s story of overcoming!

His name is Stanico Church, affectionately known as Nico. He’s the 3rd of 7 children and grew up on the westside of St.Louis.

His father was incarcerated when he  was only 13 years of age. The struggles that became a part of his life in the absence of his father caused childhood wounds that he would carry into his adult years causing other challenges.

Nico became a father at the young age of 17. Being so young and inexperienced he battled through the child support system, compounded with the challenges that came from the mother of his son who would intentionally do what she could to keep his son away from him. He became a father a second time while in college and experienced some of the same challenges.

Nico carried some very challenging  realities while attempting to create a brighter future for himself and his children. In the process of it all he struggled with depression and anxiety from the weight of life. But Nico persevered through it all becoming a 1st generation graduate to graduate from college.

Nico was determined to succeed starting a job in Corporate America three weeks post graduation, lasting 16 years.

Nico developed a love for photography out of his desire to capture every moment he could to share with his children and his father. Out of this love for photography he left Corporate America and has built a great photography studio called “Nico Church Photography Studio.” This is the space he believe God spoke to him saying that this was work of photography was a part of his destiny. Nico believes “the world needs positive images of love, family and togetherness.”

Nico’s goal is to inspire others to follow their dreams and never allow adversity to stop them!
