About Me
I am… Nic Rafael
Not Iron Man, yet

Hey there fellow Medium reader, thanks for dropping in!
I’m Nic, a former medical doctor 🩺 who is currently devoted to helping others embrace their mental health struggles 🧠 and life challenges 🛟 through writing ✍️ about my own lived experiences with anxiety, depression and burnout. I also write about how I got out of that and how to navigate a career switch 💼 and still maximise my value and growth 📈.
My wife and I have also recently learnt that we’re going to have a baby 👶🏼 and I’m so thrilled that I want to document the experiences along the way, to help future first-time fathers 👨🏻 cope with this exciting change (and minimise anxiety)!

As a hobby, I also love this amazing tool Notion 🖇️ which I use to organise most, if not everything in my life, to manage my anxiety. I hope to create more useful Notion creations and start the Notion Revolution along the way!
Other things I enjoy are reading 📖 (obviously…), music 🎧 (pop, indie, rock, OSTs and instrumental — I used to play the saxophone 🎷 and I still hold daily concerts during my showers 🎤), movies 🍿, and football ⚽️ (soccer).
Connect with me on my other socials so we can chat more! Catch you soon!
