"I was set free, because my greatest fear had already been realised, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so, rock bottom became the solid foundation on which to rebuild my life" - J. K. Rowling, "Very Good Lives; The Fringe Benefits of FAilure and the Importance of Imagination"

Nicholas, on paper, would have his future secure. Growing up in a wealthy and privileged home in Sweden. However, it doesn't matter how well off one's family might be when it comes to mental wellbeing. Feeling safe and secure is simply that; a feeling. It has nothing to do with material wealth, but everything with emotions. Carrying those deep core wounds into your life and your experiences will bring you on a rollercoaster ride, as it did with Nicholas. From huge success and wealth to homelessness and a life in tatter to a life of self-awareness, reflection, healing and forgiveness, listen to his story and the empowering turn-around and lessons that Nicholas brings.
