In Act 2 Nico Boesten takes us to a significant, life-changing moment: that of his wife Ingrid’s cancer diagnosis. While he shares that he pulled back emotionally, he also highlights the mutually clearheaded, life-affirming choices made as a couple facing terminal illness and the inevitability of loss.
Nico’s is a story of grace, faith, acceptance – and beautifully honoring life itself, inclusive of the full range of messiness that comes with being wholly human.
Finally, Nico invites listeners to check out his own inspirations, offers a poignant quote and highlights the importance of approaching grief by taking a valuable cue from bison.
Nico’s coaching journey began 15 years ago while working in Amsterdam, Minneapolis, and Connecticut. His practice has now moved to his hometown in Canada.
