What’s The Inside Scoop with Nic Strack?
I love sharing about my life with folks as a way of processing and integrating my experiences, so this is a home I’ve created for my thoughts, musings, reflections, creations, teachings, stories, failings, learnings, jokes, and more.
Who’s Nic Strack?
Hey… I’m Nic Strack! 👋🏽🤗
I’ve been fascinated by relationships & responsibility since I was a wee one, and my love of observing myself and others only strengthened over time. I went to college at the University of California - Berkeley and got a degree in Cognitive Science with an emphasis on Psychology.
Now I’m in my late 30s and I’m in the process of integrating my myriad experiences from the past few decades into my daily life. I’m divesting from my former obsession with self-help and self-improvement and am discovering new facets of my conditioning and of my Self alllllllll the time.
As I question and look underneath social & cultural norms, I’m establishing my own & my family’s own way of living and relating which are actually aligned with who we are as individuals and as a fambly. It’s a very challenging & deeply rewarding process which is full of ups and downs on the day-to-day!
My perspectives are informed by an infinite number of unnameable & unknowable factors — AND — some of the factors which I know inform my perspectives include that I’m a queer, autistic, trans, mixed-race, mom of color who was raised by immigrants in the USA.
My mom passed away in September 2020, and my brother very recently passed away in October 2022. Their deaths have taught me more about grief, loss, relationships, expectations, control, surrender, responsibility, life, etc. than I could’ve anticipated.
I’m married to my best bro, Eric, and we’ve been together for over 14 years. Our older kiddo, Uni, is 6 years old. And our younger baby, nicknamed Possumy, is currently growing in my uterus and we anticipate them joining us Earthside around May-June 2023.
