“It was one of the best moments of my life. Being around community and around people who share similar values to you, no one’s taking drugs or drinking, everyone’s just really focused on trying to become a better version of themselves.” Episode #68 of The Hope Initiative with Nikol Khimushina. I stumbled across Nikol in 2020 after seeing she was one of the first humans to undergo this thing called "hotel quarantine". I invited her on the show and since that time, 2 years has passed!She recently reached out via email and was keen to have a chat - and here it is. I loved getting to know Nikol, her background, life growing up with two parents who immigrated to Australia from Russia, and how she is building her life now as a young adult.Thanks so much to Nikol for being willing to share her life. It's brave and I truly appreciate it.Please enjoy!Follow and connect with me on Instagram and Twitter.
