On living your way into the answer…
I love this quote:
How do you feel about listening to podcasts?
I love ’em.
I value the medium. The actual CHANNEL for communication.
I love listening to a conversation (solo or) between two people and feeling my own energy rise.
LingOL when someone makes a joke that existed in my brain too.
I love how having someone ELSE’s voice inside my head – even just for 20 minutes – can build such strong connection and trust.
I also love listening at 1.5x-2x speed for max nerdiness and efficiency 😉
I haven’t YES to an invite to share my story via someone else’s podcast since 2017, right before my fam and I moved from Honolulu to Houston.
Digital decades ago.
Why the pause in pod-sharing??
That move sparked a big shift for me. For us.
As a result – I’ve mostly been in listen and learn mode over here.
Experimenting, exploring, reflecting on who I am + why, who, how I want to serve moving forward.
Creating my own “squiggle” season and learning alllll the messy lessons that come along with it.
I said “thanks but not now” to interview invites because I didn’t want to lead people (who hadn’t met me yet!) on a parade down my creative cul-de-sac while I figured my ish out.
This season has been EXACTLY what it needed to be – and I’ll share more about it / what’s next in the weeks and months to come, but for now I wanted to let you know:
While I will ALWAYS be in some degree of listen + learn mode (that’s the sage-y goddess in me ;)) I’m back to sharing my stories BEYOND my own spaces again.
And it feels SO GOOD.
My first interview of the biennial was with my buddy Alex Beadon; it went live this week.
If you’ve ever found yourself circling your own creative cul-de-sac, looking for an answer key nobody else could give you, I think you’ll enjoy it.
Here are some of the key takeaways (in Alex’s words):
- What REAL-ationships look like and why they’re important in your business.
- How Nikki went from $0 to $21,000 by offering free sessions
- How she scaled up to a 6-figure business by shifting from one-on-ones to an online course
- How she packaged free content for an extra $20,000 in revenue
- How focusing on essential business activities and self-care brought in one of her most profitable months ever
- How being out of alignment caused her sales to stagnate
- How being aligned with your highest values allows you to be more inspired, disciplined, organized and focused
- How to figure out what your highest values are
- How to recharge after you give so much to your audience and clients
NOTE: there’s also a little breaking news about the future of my offerings. More on that to come 😉
