Nicole Madonna (pronouns: She/Her) is on a mission to elevate others through feminist theory, relational cultural theory and existential and narrative therapy. She is a licensed Social Worker and Clinical Therapist with an extensive background in program development, training and therapy with adults for the past 20 years. Nicole is the Founder and Executive Director of Blue Lotus Clinical & Consultation Services based out of Charlotte NC. Social Work is not a profession for the faint of heart, it takes passion, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to supporting our communities. Over the course of Nicole’s career, she has had opportunities to serve in the field while also supporting other young professionals to be successful in their journey to licensure and gaining valuable professional skills and knowledge. This episode walks us back in time to when Nicole and I first met - both of us in our tumultuous 20’s where we bonded over books and what real friendship looks like. It was an honor to share Nicole’s story and her passion for helping others. More About Nicole & Blue Lotus: https://bluelotusccspllc.com/
