Summary


In this episode of Courageous Conversations, Laurabel Mba and Nicole Kieley discuss the intersection of politics, diversity, and personal resilience. Nicole shares her journey as the deputy mayor of Mount Pearl, navigating the challenges of political landscapes that often feel threatening to diversity and inclusion. They explore the emotional impact of unexpected life changes, particularly Nicole's experience with disability after a life-altering accident. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community, self-acceptance, and the courage to advocate for oneself and others in the face of adversity.


Takeaways


Resilience is key in navigating life's challenges. Community support is vital during difficult times. Self-acceptance leads to empowerment and growth. Political landscapes can impact personal identities. Finding a new normal is a journey, not a destination. It's important to prioritize self-care and mental health. Advocacy for diversity and inclusion is crucial. Courage can manifest in many forms, including vulnerability. We must look for helpers in times of crisis. You are more than enough, just as you are.


Sound Bites


"Look to the helpers." "This is not a permanence." "You are whole as is."
