Nichole, like most humans, despises writing bios. How does one tell the world that they secured a world record for deadlift without sounding braggadocious? Well, now that the bandaid has been ripped off--Nichole is neuro-divergent, so she has deep interests and several hobbies including powerlifting, jiu jitsu, and contrast therapy. She's an entrepreneur that works in digital marketing. Curiosity and energy are her superpowers and boredom is a stranger. Constantly on the move, she's an adventure seeker traveling through the world full speed with awe and wander.

This conversation was so fun to have. From recalling the kids who bullied her in school to becoming a world-record holder in powerlifting, Nichole tells a story of the people she is grateful for, the journey she has walked, and the challenges that made her who she is today. A champion for endometriosis treatment and research, as well as medical self-advocacy.
