Nikki LaCroce – The Need for Human Connection

The Journey of My Mother's Son

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with Nikki LaCroce.

Every once in a while, I have the opportunity to have a guest on my show who I seem to have an instant connection with. Nikki was certainly one of those guests. A fellow podcast host, we found common ground immediately and the conversation just flowed.

Raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Nikki made a long-awaited move to the west coast in 2017.

It wasn’t long after that Nikki realized relocating was only one of the big changes she needed to make in her life. After spending a decade working in tech, Nikki found herself lacking a sense of fulfillment and made the decision to start therapy in an effort to unearth her purpose.

In early 2021, Nikki experienced what she now refers to as her “personal Armageddon”, as she left a decade long abusive relationship and simultaneously was faced with the unexpected loss of her mother amidst the peak of the pandemic.

Navigating these events and being forced to cope with two very different types of grief at once, Nikki’s perspective on mental health, personal growth, and healing through trauma shifted drastically. Nikki has always felt strongly about the importance of human connection and thanks to a tremendous amount of support from her family, friends and therapist, she made the decision to return to the mic to share her own story in May 2022.

With a year of therapy under her belt and the much-needed introspection that came with it, Nikki became certain that her purpose is to connect with people and decided to create her podcast, Who The F*ck?
