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. Through a recent inner voice session, Nicki explores how dropping rigid expectations, releasing the pressure of perfectionism, and choosing playfulness over pressure allows us to reconnect with what truly brings us joy.
In this episode, we explore:
Vulnerability and the fear of sharing what's truly on our hearts
Reevaluating the burnout and overwhelming pressure of algorithms and expectations
Wisdom from an inner voice session: "Should is the machine that prevents expansion"
Why Venus in retrograde offers a powerful invitation to reevaluate work, creative routines, and morning practices
How to recognize when a structure has become a cage—and how to choose playfulness and freedom instead 🌿
