The Beautifully Broken Podcast was made for people like Nicole Bell.

In this Season 4 closer Nicole recounts her husband’s experience with Lyme, early-onset Alzheimers, and
chronic illness. Discover how Nicole utilized her engineering degree and background in surgical robotics to create a systems approach to caring for her husband and trying to search for a root cause.

Her book: What Lurks in the Woods is a raw and wrenching memoir that will jolt you out of the fairy tale that doctors have it all figured out. May her tragic journey of discovery help others to find their way.

I hope you may find space to pause, listen and receive all the beautiful moments that are offered in this episode.
