About Me — Nicole Dake
About Me Stories

Hello fellow Medium Writers, I’m Nicole Dake. I have been here on Medium since November and haven’t done an “about me” yet.
I am a mom of three, living in Broomfield, CO with my family. My kids are Atlantis (19), her partner Phyre (18), and River (5). I love being a mom and doing all kinds of fun things with my kids like going to jumpy castles or swimming.
I am divorced from my oldest daughter’s dad, and currently in a long-term relationship with a wonderful partner with whom I have made an “effective team.” He does more than half the housework, all the cooking, a lot of the childcare, and even helps me to edit my writing when I ask him.
I am a motherhood lifestyle blogger and author. I write about parenting, mental health, health & wellness, personal finance, daily affirmations, and whatever else might pop into my head on a given day.
I have two published books, “Trauma Survivor’s Guide to Coping With Panic Attacks” and “Happy. Healthy. Rich. The smart mom’s guide to living your best life.”
When I write, I pour out my heart onto the page. I write self-help because I have had to help myself all my life. I don’t want other people to have to struggle through trial and error to figure out life the way that I did.
I write for moms because I think we don’t have enough help or support in the community like we did a generation ago. Community has moved online.
I write about mental health because I have struggled with mental health all my life. Being able to have honest conversations about mental health is crucial to breaking the stigma around mental health in general. On a personal level, the honesty is freeing.
