Description

Nick grew up in Canada with a father who was a member of the Royal Canadian Mountain Police. This along with his wounded inner child had a major influence on his law enforcement career choice. Nick went on to spend his entire adult life, 23 years, in various enforcement related positions including 17 years as a police officer before his breakthrough, formally known as a breakdown, on September 16th, 2020.

Nick was diagnosed with PTSD and set off on a journey to finally process the traumas collected during his career in law enforcement. A year and half in, countless psychologist and occupational therapist appointments later, he was able to finally get the help that he needed; one psilocybin assisted therapy session. In an afternoon Nick went from severe PTSD to no longer meeting the criteria for any diagnosis.

With a new sense of clarity and the amazing support of his family, Nick resigned from the only profession that he had ever known. Nick now spends his time sharing his story of healing and post traumatic growth while going all in on his dream to bring consciously made, natural fiber clothing to the world through his apparel brand; Flow State Designs!

Nick and I dive into:
- His WILD journey as a police officer
- The moment he knew something had to change
- An uncommon path to recovery
- His discovery of freedom and what was next for him
