How To Find Your Life Purpose: Soul Mates, Spirit Babies, Intuition & Healing w/ Nikki Novo Sep 30, 2024

Show notes

Ep. # 137 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I’m joined by Nikki Novo. You might remember that I recently had a soul reading, and I found it so impactful so I had to bring Nikki on to talk to you all. We get really spiritual and talk about how to find your life purpose, tapping into your own intuition, and how to fully align to your higher self. Nikki talks more about “spirit babies” and some of the thoughts behind miscarriages, as well as breaking down how ancestry enters the equation and what it’s like to break away from your lineage. Lastly, we talk about how to know when you’ve found a soul mate and the various types of relationships you can have. Today is a good one, so let’s jump in!
