On this week’s episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Nikki shares a different kind of business lesson-one that came home with her from Italy.

After celebrating her 10-year wedding anniversary overseas, Nikki found herself having the same conversation over and over again: people were shocked to learn it was the first time in nearly 11 years of business ownership that she had taken a full work week completely off.

In this episode, she reflects on the realities of building a business, the seasons of growth that often go unseen, and what it felt like to finally step away without worrying about what was happening back home. From leadership and trust to team development and perspective, this is an honest conversation about what it actually takes to create a business that can function without you.

Most importantly, it's a reminder that while building matters, so does taking the time to appreciate what you've built.

In this episode, Nikki discusses:
• Why taking a week off after 11 years wasn't a sacrifice-it was the result of years of building
• The difference between a business that depends on you and a business supported by strong leadership
• Lessons learned from stepping away completely for the first time
• The importance of trust, systems, and developing your team
• Reflections on entrepreneurship, marriage, and gratitude

If you've ever wondered whether all the hard work is worth it, this episode is for you.
