“Today I have a lighter experience of suffering which only exists moment to moment. Generally my default state is one of peace which brings a sense of freedom, connection and endless possibilities within my life.”

 

Meet Life Mentor and writer, Nicole Barton, something of a unicorn within the self-help industry for her candid notion that nobody needs self-help. Committed to supporting people in finding freedom from whatever their particular form of suffering is, she is a breath of fresh air in her admission that while meditation, yoga and anything that leads us into soul-led expression can be useful to drop us out of our heads and into our hearts, none of these practices are prerequisites to peace. Profound, in that Nicole’s life thus far has not been devoid of challenge or trauma.

Nicole shares her early experiences with Trauma and her thinking around her belief that people are born with an innate wellbeing and resilience and do not require ‘fixing’.
