The Healthy Advisor: Healing From Physical and Mental Abuse of the Past
Our experiences throughout childhood can have a major impact on the way we live our lives into adulthood. But after meeting Marc Nichols, you might never have guessed the trauma that he experienced growing up, one he describes as “inconsistent.”
In this episode, Diana Britton is joined by Nichols, product director at Arbor Digital, who opens up about being the victim of sexual and mental abuse by people he was supposed to look up to and trust. During much of his childhood, he lived in an all-female household, so he has struggled with traditional definitions of masculinity in an industry that is still male dominated.
Yet he came out of those experiences a stronger person, and has even become somewhat of an advocate for mental health and healing in the financial services industry.
Marc discusses:
- What it was like growing up with divorced parents who had little money
- The physical and emotional trauma he endured
- How his connection with his twin sister shaped him
- The gender expectations in financial services
- His path to healing
- The importance of therapy
- And more
