You'll walk away feeling more peaceful and whole.

What happens when the structures you built to support your passion start feeling like a burden? 
In this honest, vulnerable solo episode, Nicki opens up about something she’s been afraid to share: her evolving relationship with her business, Substack, and the invisible "shoulds" that create pressure and block true expansion.

Reevaluating the burnout and overwhelming pressure of algorithms and expectations 
Wisdom from an inner voice session: "Should is the machine that prevents expansion"
