In this episode of The Aligned for Success podcast, Nikki opens up about the most challenging period she's faced as a business owner over her nearly 10-year entrepreneurial journey.

Rather than focusing on the expected struggles like COVID shutdowns, insurance changes, or staffing issues, Nikki shares a deeply personal story about how her daughter Hazel's birth challenged her fundamental belief in the chiropractic services she provides. After experiencing a difficult four-day labor that ended in an emergency C-section under general anesthesia, Nikki found herself questioning everything she had taught her pregnant patients for years.

With remarkable honesty, Nikki reveals how this crisis of confidence affected her practice and her ability to connect with patients. She explores how her own negative mindset and fears may have contributed to her birth experience, and how this realization eventually led to greater empathy and conviction in her work.

Throughout this vulnerable conversation, Nikki reminds us that sometimes our greatest business challenges stem not from external factors but from internal misalignments between our beliefs and our reality. She encourages listeners to reflect on what might be creating subluxations in their own thinking that could be holding them back from success.

This powerful episode offers a fresh perspective on resilience and alignment for any business owner who has faced self-doubt or questions about the value of their work, making it a must-listen for entrepreneurs seeking deeper meaning and authenticity in their professional journey.
