Hey, I’m glad you made it to Encounters On Our Planet. This is a safe space I’m creating for you and I to share in all the encounters we run into as we navigate this complex but beautiful life. From encountering wellness, mental health, friendships, love, living intentionally, finding ourselves as young adults and simply everything else we encounter. There’s nothing off limits here. I’m not saying I have all the solutions…..I’m simply creating a space and an awareness for conversations that need to be had more often. So, join me, Nikita, every Tuesday as I get completely candid and vulnerable about my own encounters and hopefully, you will find a friend in me and feel safe through each episode.
