The Plot Twist - Nicole goes into AFib

from SHOCK & Y’ALL

This episode is a very real life update about the day I ended up in the emergency room with atrial fibrillation. I thought I was simply tired, busy, and pushing through another packed weekend. Instead, my body was telling me something was seriously off.I’m sharing exactly what AFib felt like, the combination of factors that may have triggered it, and why midlife requires a new level of awareness. This is not about becoming afraid of your body.It’s about knowing it well enough to notice when something changes, trust yourself, and get help before you can explain it away.Highlights:(01:39) - Why midlife demands a different kind of attention(04:46) - The first moment I knew something was wrong(06:28) - Blacking out, then still trying to stick to the schedule(08:10) - The urgent care visit that sent me straight to the ER(10:48) - The perfect storm behind my AFib episode(14:45) - Why you cannot be a martyr and save yourself tooQualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole’s on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole’s bestselling children’s book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.
