Authenticity: How Being Real Can Save Your Life

What if being real could save your life?

In this powerful episode of Positive Vibes with Nicki Dennis, we explore what it means to live in true alignment and authenticity with Nic Collins, a speaker, writer, and mental health advocate who knows firsthand the cost of pretending to be someone you’re not.

Behind his grounded presence is a story of addiction, depression, and suicidal ideation, and the long road back to healing, self-acceptance, and freedom. Through honesty, therapy, and micro-goal setting, Nic learned how to transform pain into purpose and create a life that finally feels real.

✨ What you’ll learn:
• How to stop performing and start living authentically
• Healing from depression, addiction, and self-suppression
• The power of therapy, mindfulness, and community
• How small daily actions create big transformation
• Why self-kindness is the foundation of healing

This is not just a story about recovery, it’s a reminder that your truth is your medicine, and authenticity is how we heal.
