Nicola Chambers-Hulda earned a community doctorate and turned the dissertation into a published manuscript. She now runs the Gratitude Choice Project, free workshops and hikes that bring strangers together, and is researching how gratitude transforms communities.
I'm a doctor. Yeah. Turn that dissertation into a manuscript that's published and say published by Dr. Nicola Chambers-Hulda. And it happened. My doctorate is a community doctorate. It was never for Nicola. It's changed everything about my life. I think it's also changed my family's life, my kids' life, the people around me, my parents. I was told when I was younger that I would never be anything. So for me, that's everything. Huge accomplishment. And now no matter who you are, you can be anything you want to be. And yeah, I got that. I think your dad joined Gratitude Choice Project, which is my give back to the world. I'm like, that's my way of paying rent, and I do free workshops, I do free hikes, free meditation, free walking meditation, just to get people who would never really hang out together together. So I really want to do research on gratitude, communal gratitude, because I've seen how it's changed my life and how it's changed other people's lives. So that's the research right now that I'm working
