Description
Nicole's once-promising career as a lawyer was eclipsed by her drug addiction, which led her down a dark path. As a result, she engaged in dishonest billing practices, took money from clients, and even showed up to court under the influence of drugs. Consequently, she was disbarred by the Law Society of British Columbia, and her life spiralled out of control. She started dealing crystal meth, and found herself entrenched in dangerous situations, including surviving a brutal attack on her life. She even worked for Canada’s notorious and most feared biker gang known as the Fallen Saints Motorcycle Club. An operation to bring the gang down led to her eventual conviction for drug trafficking and sentence to three years in prison.Despite the hardships, Nicole sought help for her addiction and began the process of rebuilding her life. Today, she serves as the Executive Director of the Elizabeth Fry Society of Saskatchewan, providing hope and encouragement to the formerly incarcerated and individuals struggling with addiction. Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and hard work in overcoming adversity and achieving new goals.Guest Links:Nicole LinkedInNicole InstagramSecond Chance Podcast Links:Second Chance on YouTubeSecond Chance on InstagramSecond Chance on LinkedInSecond Chance on FacebookRaphael's Website Hosted on Acast.
