Today, I'm interviewing an exceptional person who I've gotten to
know for the past few years, Nicky Dyal. She is a coach and a rock
climber. She has taken what she has learned as an extreme athlete
and being a professional in that area and channeled it into this
transformative work that she does with her clients. Very
interesting to learn about how she's channeled her life into her
business. So I was so excited to bring her on the show and I know
you'll take away a lot from this conversation. Enjoy...
Nicky shares her insights:
Especially outside of established structures, like you were saying,
outside of a corporate structure that's reinforced and backed up by
society and taxation systems and just like everybody is supposed to
get an office job you know. And for me as an athlete just being
swept up in the tide of able bodied people who like can perform and
push their body to do whatever they want seemingly with like a
magic wand. Know it's really the only path and it looks different
for everyone, it could be a death, it could be the end of a
relationship. Again, not many people choose to leave behind the
thing that's giving them so much validation, you know, ego
validation that's making them feel so good. Not many people make
that choice, and I think entrepreneurs are people who are doing
that. And to me, that's leadership is doing something different
from what other people are doing and having that those humbling
experiences that connect you ultimately to more people and open
your heart to the experiences of more people. And yeah, what a gift
to like have had to have experienced both sides of that.
Well, I think I just care about people I care about. My experience
and he care about the experience of other people. And starting from
that point, I then had to realize there's lots of people in the
world, I, myself included, who have experienced pain, because of
society. And you know, being enabled-body, college-educated Ivy
league white person I had a lot of access to communities and money
and conversations that would make my life easier and more
manageable. And that's not true for everyone. And if I, but my my
world doesn't really feel at harmony, yeah when I know that there's
so much suffering. But also like i'm not in the UN. I'm not a
politician so like where's my point of power actually right. So
it's in what I create my day to day experience. How does that feel
- am I kind to people, etc. But then, I also realize to like
broaden how good my day to day experience felt. It would be helpful
to understand other people's experiences, who are different from
mine and those conversations are obviously outside of my normal
lived experience.
Honestly that's such a relief. Isn't it? Like I actually find it a
relief that other people have had different lived experiences than
I do. That's how I grow like that's it's a relief to me to
understand that some people have had it easier than me in some
ways, for example, you know. For it when I hear that someone has
had it more harder than me my heart opens both of those things are
delightful. Oh my heart opening is a wonderful feeling. And also
understanding that there's like potential for more ease in the
world is also a relief to me. So kind of like, no matter how you
slice it it's nice. It's like wonderful to realize that other
people look at things differently and that different
experiences.
Because they want to care more about the world like people want to
be more comfortable with what they care about and less afraid to
act on what they love. There's very little societal incentive to
like live with your heart on your sleeve or to live according to
your values. It's much like you said earlier it's much easier to
live in a corporate structure or whatever. And I think that provide
an exciting and fun time. Moving towards being able to live
according to what brings you joy. And like that's kind of like a
cliche coach thing to say. But like getting to just like not be
afraid to care about what you want to care about. I think that's
especially what our times are calling for, and I offer that to
people in, I believe, like an exciting and you know my favorite
words are cozy way. And sassy just like, let's live a little. Let's
just like shoot from the hip a little bit and take some risks. And
realize that we felt like we are going to die, but we weren't
actually in danger. And that's like a fun way to party, you
know.
