Episode 53: Kate Nicholson's Suggestions for Dealing With Isolation
Manage episode 257265778 series 2535300
Kate Nicholson is a civil rights attorney.
In the mid-90's-- due to complications from surgery-- she became unable to walk, stand, or even sit. She was in excruciating pain each day and couldn't leave her home; she remained isolated in bed for 15 years.
In this interview, Kate explains how, despite being isolated, she was able to create a purposeful, meaningful, and engaging (and OPTIMISTIC) life. And she offers tips about how to do the same, for those of us who are still only getting used to our new, temporary, way-of-life sans social-engagement.
By the way, did I mention Kate is a VERY smart cookie?
- She is a civil rights attorney and an advocate for pain patients who have been affected by limitations on prescribing (she has done a Ted Talk on this issue)
- She is a nationally-recognized expert on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- She also runs non-profits related to pain patients and the arts, respectively.
- She frequently writes op-eds for major publications like the LA Times and The Hill.
