learning how to see yourself in your own reflection can increase self-compassion, aid stress management, and improve relationships and emotional resilience. In this episode, I talk about some of the concepts of self-care and personal growth to help you start the journey of letting go of what no longer serves you. Setting your own Terms and conditions can be stressful and rewarding. 

As I think back to over thirty years ago, I couldn't have imagined being where I am today. How I wish this one would have been grasped early, and I am still learning daily to understand it. This letter is a personal and transparent insight into Nikkia and journey through life as a 15-year-old girl Although I now look back with gratitude for the experiences that brought me to this path of helping others, I wrote a letter to my younger self with the wisdom and experience of a 44-year-old woman who has overcome so much and made it out the other side. 

How do you forgive someone of a deep hurt - when an apology is never actually given? Do we even have to forgive the person? And if we do forgive, do we have to reconcile? If you're walking around with resentment from a hurtful conversation or action, this episode is for you, friend. Tune in as Nikkia walks through the first step of forgiveness, how to forgive when an apology isn't given, overcoming the fear of being hurt again, and why forgiveness doesn't always mean reconciliation. We've all been there – our feelings hurt and minds racing - replaying the conversation and how we wish we had responded. But no more. It's time to gain freedom back for your head and heart because your relationship with yourself is too important to go another day carrying around that heavyweight of unforgiveness.

I'm Not One Of Your Little Friends”Translation: I'm your mother, not your friend. Respect me as such.In this episode, Nikkia will once again speak on setting boundaries with your children. Setting boundaries is a difficult thing, especially when you have to do so with the ones you love. Setting boundaries with kids is even harder because when they are crossed, you are the one responsible for holding the kids accountable.  You are not your children's friends and they need to know and underdstand the you play in their lives. 

What does it mean to move in silence and why it is importantWhy is it important to move in silence? Making silent moves preserves what's for you. Sharing your accomplishments is great and yes, not everyone is out to get you, but keep that in the back of your mind at all times. In this episode Nikkia will talk about keeping things to yourself and addressing how sharing too much can block your blessings when you tell the world your plans because baby not everyone wants to see you win!  A lot of people could be silently cheering for you to fail, but fake pumping like they are your friend or supporter.

Feeling overwhelmed by the constant stream of texts, emails and nonstop push notifications? It might be time to cut back on your phone time with a digital detox. No matter your reasoning—stress, sadness or simply because you want to challenge yourself—a digital detox will prove beneficial for your brain and body. Getting some “me” time doesn't come easy, as you can be interrupted even when you've already put up a “do not disturb” sign on your door.  Nikkia will discuss giving yourself permission to be yourself is a process. It starts with small permissions such as giving yourself permission to rest when you are tired or sick or giving yourself permission to ask for help when you need it.  When you practice these smaller permissions on a regular basis, it becomes easier to give yourself permission to be your true self.

The ending of a significant piece of one's life — a relationship, job, stage of life, or way of thinking — may be difficult and even painful for many of us. Something that you once counted on as very important to your life is over and done.Closure means finality; a letting go of what once was. Finding closure implies a complete acceptance of what has happened and an honoring of the transition away from what's finished to something new. In other words, closure describes the ability to go beyond imposed limitations in order to find different possibilities. This episode Nikkia will discuss  essential ways to find closure from the past.SHOW NOTES : Instacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hourFree delivery on your first order over $35https://instacart.oloiyb.net/c/2741272/1020808/7412Save yourself that trip to the market — Instacart delivers groceries in as fast as 1 hour!

We all have times when we struggle to prioritise our emotional needs, and it can leave us physically and emotionally exhausted, unable to sleep well, and feeling irritable. What is an emotional backpack? Picture yourself carrying around an invisible backpack, every day. Inside that backpack are all of your life's experiences. Some of these items are positive and light, while others are negative and heavy. This episode Nikkia will discuss our feelings (all of them) are important and worthy of your attention, but some of them (especially negative emotions like self-doubt, worry, anger, frustration etc.) when kept in your body for long periods of time, can lead to unwanted results. Honor and recognize these emotions ALL emotions as part of the human experience and as such they are valuable so you keep them with you… but they do not need to own your body.  You own them and you put them where you put your other belongings.  In your backpack!SHOW NOTES : Instacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hourFree delivery on your first order over $35https://instacart.oloiyb.net/c/2741272/1020808/7412Save yourself that trip to the market — Instacart delivers groceries in as fast as 1 hour!
