Going through the Ring of Fire with Nicole Windley
Grief Recovery Now with Charlene Gorzela
10/06/20 • 41 min
What would you do if you found out that your loved one was shot dead in his front yard?
That’s a difficult and terrifying question that nobody should ever think of. But life happens and it can throw us sideways in a second, only to steer us on a better path. As Tony Robbins always says, ‘Life happens for us, not to us’ and sometimes it can give us gifts in disguise – gifts that we never asked for and, quite frankly, we certainly wouldn’t wish to receive.
My guest today, Nicole Windley, had to answer that particular question, after having her boyfriend killed by a disgruntled neighbor. After his death, she went on a full journey of grieving, which was accompanied by two years of depression and a strong desire of not being part of this world anymore.
But she overcame that difficult period once she finally reached out to the people around her – because, my dear friends, grief is not something anyone should deal with, alone. After nine years of that tragic event, she is now on a mission to help guide everyone to living their best life – mind, body, and soul. She is blessed with a passion to teach, guide, motivate, encourage, love, inspire, and support others. This is what makes her fearless, and the purpose of her life is to be love and give love, and do as much as she can for herself and others.
Nicole is the host of the ‘Believe It, Achieve It’ podcast – a weekly dose of sparkle that encourages you to live your best life. Through this show, she empowers people to discover their dreams and ignite their lives.
If you want to learn more about her amazing story and her experience dealing with grief, then listen to Episode 4 of Grief Recovery Now!
Some questions I ask:
- What emotions did you go through when you found out Mike was dead? (10:00)
- What was your life like, after things have settled down? (16:12)
- Can you talk about that turning point in your life, when everything changed for you? (21:59)
- How did your peers support you in this recovery time? (28:06)
- How did you master your emotions? (29:12)
In this episode, you will learn:
- How Nicole’s life changed in a glimpse of a moment when her boyfriend was shot dead right in his front yard. (08:54)
- What it’s like to be present in your loved one’s murder trial. (17:57)
- How Nicole overcame the depression period that lasted 2 years (19:08)
- How Tony Robbins’ event, ‘Unleash the Power Within’, can change your life for good. (23:44)
