What You and I Have in Common with a Real-Life Princess Mar 10, 2021

No family is perfect. I think we all know this, inherently, but was I the only mom in America who was kind of relieved to get certain confirmation that even the Royal Family has issues?(By the way, if you have no idea what I’m talking about, you must check out Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s incredibly raw interview with Oprah. Make some popcorn beforehand. You’ll thank me later).

Aside from her beautifully raw honesty, what struck me was how much we all really have in common, as humans, as women, as moms. Tune in to this episode to hear my takeaway from Meghan Markle’s interview.

From On-the-Go Stay-at-Home Mom to Empty Nester: A Conversation with Allyson Mancini Feb 17, 2021

It’s gonna happen to all of us. One day, we’re going to wake up and our youngest will have flown the coop and gone off to be a grown up. Maybe to college. Maybe to start a career. Perhaps just to get some independence and start living alone. And just like that: our role as “mom” will drastically change.

For some of us, that seems like eons away. And for others . . . well, it’s right around the corner. SAHM-turned-entrepreneur and wellness coach Allyson Mancini knows the feeling all too well.

Join us in this episode as Nikki and Allyson discuss what it’s like to be “fired” as a mom overnight and have to reinvent yourself; that it’s never too late to start something new (as Allyson has proven with her thriving business as a wellness coach!); and what those of us with littles can do now to prepare ourselves for the inevitability of our kiddos growing up and moving out.

16. The "You Can't" Monster: What It Is and How to Combat Yours Dec 09, 2020

Have you ever heard of affirmations? I do them with my kids. Having once been told by a classmate that my nose looks like I ran into a wall (true story), it dawned on me one day when my kids were really little that one day some mean kids might tell my innocent little babies that they’re dumb. Or weird. Or bad at sports. You know—the stuff that gets you doubting how awesome you are.
If you hear those lies long enough, you start to forget that you’re powerful beyond measure. You stop believing you’re wonderfully made. Instead, you start believing that you're not good enough, that you don’t have time for yourself, that you can’t afford it, you don’t deserve it, you won’t be any good at it.
Some people call this imposter syndrome. I call it the “You Can’t" Monster.
Tune in to hear more about why we all have one, and what you can do to combat yours when she shows up.

The Art of Saying "No" Dec 02, 2020

Did you know that "No" is a complete sentence? And it's ok to say it! So often as moms we say yes to things that aren't serving us or adding to the fullness of our lives. The result? Too much on our plates and less time for ourselves and the people we love.
In Episode 15, we talk about why we do this and how we can finally stop (without losing our friends)!

Why It's Ok to Spend Money on Yourself: An Interview with Yvonne Jimerson Nov 04, 2020

Spunky money maven, Yvonne Jimerson of Redefining Posh, gives Nikki some tough love about having the right money mindset in this episode of the Love Your Mom Life podcast.
As moms, we often don't think twice when it comes to spending money on our families or our kids. But when it's time to invest in ourselves or dish out dough to make our own lives easier? Most of us tend to cringe and tell ourselves that we "can't" afford it or that we "shouldn't" spend money on ourselves. But those kinds of limiting beliefs about money actually aren't serving us!
Yvonne, an experienced accountant who now helps professional women get out of debt, explains what it means as a woman and a mom to have the "right" money mindset. Tune in to hear all about it, and about where imposter syndrome and personal finances may be intersecting in your own mom life.

How to Create a To-Don't List Sep 23, 2020

Are you awesome at making to-do lists? As a hustling mom of two, I live off of to-do lists, and would say I’m pretty darn good at making effective ones. (In fact, creating an effective to-do list for your mom life is something I cover in detail in The Mom Life Challenge!).

But as more and more activities have gone virtual or been cancelled this year, I must admit I've been enjoying how much room I have on my plate. And that got me thinking . . . maybe I should intentionally make a list of things to stop doing—or as I like to call it, a “to-don’t” list.

Tune in to this episode as we discuss how to evaluate what to keep on and what to scrape off your plate when you're creating your own to-don't list.

At one point or another, all mothers have experienced that dreaded "mom fail" feeling. Being a mom is messy, beautiful, difficult and rewarding all at once. And no mom is perfect! Every single one of us has (and will again) fallen on our face.
And while we shouldn't berate ourselves for "woulda, coulda, shouldas," we can get better at avoiding these so-called mom fails. In Episode 2, I share what I believe is the root of all mom fails, and how we can keep them from happening in the first place.

1. How to Start Something New (Even When It Scares You) Sep 10, 2020

Have you ever wanted to start something new? Maybe you've been eyeing a home-based business opportunity. Maybe you want to write a book, start a podcast or launch a course. Maybe you want to take on a new sport. There's just one problem: you're terrified. (This fear might also show up in the form of, "I won't be any good at it," or "I don't have time," or "I'm too old to start something new."). Trust me, I get it. I often joke that, like the phoenix that bursts into flames, burns to ash and rises to begin life again, I have started over a lot.
So in Episode 1, I answer a question I get from women all the time: how are you able to start new things again and again and continually see success?
Tune in as I share the reason I’ve been able to see success whenever I’ve started something new, along with how you can, too.
