Nicki Critchett
Grief, Trauma, and Life Coaching for Healing with Nicki Critchett - Episode 6
DESCRIPTION:
In this episode, host Nick Gaylord speaks with UK life coach Nicki Critchett, founder of Tomorrow’s U Life Coaching, about surviving layered loss and rebuilding a life with meaning. Nicki shares how she lost her mother at 14, later lost her sister to cancer, and more recently lost her father to an accidental drowning while abroad. Together, Nick and Nicki examine how compounded grief and unresolved family conflict can fuel destructive relationship patterns and erode self-worth. Nick provides a grief-literate lens on bereavement, forgiveness, and repairing bonds between siblings and parents. Nicki traces her path through counseling and PTSD support, then into mindset shifts that moved her from survival to sustainable healing. The conversation offers concrete grief recovery tools—reframing, boundary-setting, and coaching practices—to rebuild resilience and purpose after loss. Listeners will hear a candid, hope-forward message that healing is possible, that we are enough, and that community support makes a real difference.
