In part 2 of 3 of Nikki’s inspiring transformation story, we see the amazing progress made over the years. Nikki speaks of how she was able to pull herself out of depression and take things one day at a time, focusing on herself and her daughters. The journey was not easy, but Nikki found the grace and understanding needed to keep going.

Nikki’s openness and vulnerability inspired others and she was asked to share her story on stage. Having overcome the depression, Nikki found that she still struggled with self-love. Seeking help, she signed up for a women's retreat focused on meditation and self-love. Initially guarded, Nikki soon realized she was not very different from the other women and was able to receive love, leaving with a sense of inner peace.

The following year, Nikki signed up for another retreat and learned about plant medicine as a tool for transformation. She did her research and was excited to walk into the best version of herself. Stay tuned for part 3 to see how this catapulted Nikki to her best self yet. This story is a testament to the power of taking care of oneself and seeking help when needed.

What You’ll Learn:

• Ways to practice self-care and why it’s important.

• What meditation is and what it isn’t.

• How plant medicine can aid in therapy.

• And much more!

Introducing the first of a three-part series, where Nikki shares her incredible journey of transformation over the past five years. It all started when Nikki found herself under a lot of stress from running a big company that spanned across three states. To alleviate the stress, she resorted to drinking wine every night to numb her mind and get some sleep.

But things took a turn when she started working with a mentor who helped her focus on the importance of self-love. Joining a mastermind of like-minded individuals, Nikki started to focus on becoming the best version of herself. She lost 25 pounds, cut out drinking for a year, and bettered her mindset and body.

However, the journey was not a smooth ride. Complacency set in, and slowly but surely, unhealthy habits crept back in. Gaining weight again, Nikki battled with old demons around food and appearance. But, determined to be in the best shape of her life, Nikki hired additional trainers and pushed harder than ever before. Unfortunately, she developed severe digestive problems, and traditional doctors were of no help.

But Nikki didn't give up. She took what she had learned from each experience and created her path. Even though she slipped into depression, Nikki launched a beauty brand and fought her way back from a dark place. She had realized she had a choice and decided to get up and fight.

We hope this story inspires at least one person to make a positive change in their life, no matter how difficult the journey may be. Tune in next time for the next part of this inspiring series.

What You’ll Learn:

• The benefits of mentors, coaches, and mastermind groups.

• Why self-improvement has no finish line.

• Why people self-sabotage their progress.

• And much more!

Zack Schreier, known as the Shark Tank contestant that founded Quevos, has been on a journey to improve his health and create innovative products. Zack was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 6th grade, which prompted him to be mindful of his food choices and their impact on his blood sugar. This led him to create Quevos, a low-carb chip made from egg whites, as a healthy snack option. Not stopping there, Zack went on to create Lifestacks, a supplement company that streamlines the supplement-taking process with convenient stack packs. His personal experience with taking over 30 pills a day inspired him to make taking supplements easier for others.

His reading of the book Freedom Evolves has taught him to make choices that are in alignment with his values and to break cycles that don't serve him.

This week we’re switching things up and giving you an opportunity to get to know a little more about Nikki, with her in the hot seat of the Business Bros Podcast. As a Women’s Entrepreneur VIP winner, Nikki shares how she has gone from a multi-million dollar roofing company to a beauty empire. In an industry dominated by men, Nikki gained construction experience through her property management and real estate ventures before purchasing an existing roofing company. She’s since expanded it into 3 states, crediting her solid team with its success.

The success of the roofing company has afforded her time to try other things, which is when she pivoted into the beauty industry. As a consumer of false lashes for 15 years, Nikki decided to start her own online store when lashes recently became mainstream. Her biggest hurdle has been how to stand out among competition. She’s had to be creative, and is continuously learning new ways to get in front of people. Constantly creating content, Nikki found herself venturing into starting her own podcast, Life Amplified With Nikki. Her podcast features guests from all walks of life, discussing how to amplify our lives.

Going forward, Nikki is looking into adding hair extensions to her beauty line. She says it’s not just about vanity, she wants to help women that struggle with hair loss for various reasons.

In a world where money, power, greed, and corruption seem to reign, Mikkel Thorup, founder and director of Expat Money, offers a different perspective. Mikkel’s life journey began with a learning disability that led him to drop out of school and travel the world, eventually leading him to explore the world of finance and entrepreneurship.

Overall, Mikkel's story and insights highlight the ways in which individuals can take control of their financial futures and navigate the complex world of taxation and finance.

Tracy Read is a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and most importantly, an advocate. When she’s not working her 9-5 as a clinical trial administrator, Tracy is advocating for women’s safety. As someone that has survived domestic violence, and offers support to family members that have survived sexual assault, Tracy is passionate about keeping women safe. She aims to equip women to defend themselves before something bad has to happen to them. While most women don’t consider personal safety devices until after they’ve encountered some sort of attack, Tracy says it should be taught to every woman and child preemptively. 

Tracy had a safety wristlet of her own for protection while out on walks alone, but she hadn’t yet considered the collective need. It was actually a Facebook reel from a Texas police officer that pushed Tracy to get involved. The police officer was crying and pleading in the video for women to strap up and be prepared to protect themselves. Tracy jumped in, buying all the safety devices she could find, comparing and contrasting, and ultimately realizing none of them were the quality she was looking for. She went back to her own safety wristlet and looked up the manufacturer, Damsel In Defense.

Tracy joined Damsel In Defense just a few months ago, but within a week she was promoted to pro, and within 60 days, mentor. She’s ready to educate women and young girls on how to spot danger, as well as how to protect themselves. From books and GPS tracking tools, to stun guns and mace, Damsel In Defense is the safety boutique women didn’t know they needed. 

What You’ll Learn:

• How to look for signs of domestic violence or sexual assault.

• What type of safety tools Damsel in Defense offers.

• What to look for in safety devices.

• When and why to have a safety plan.

What makes for a great leader? Your mindset certainly plays a big part. Jennifer Thompson, CEO of webspark media, agrees with this and tries to work on hers regularly. Most recently she’s been growing her mental toughness through the trending movement known as 75 HARD. Having completed the initial 75 days, Jennifer is now almost done with phase 1 as well. She says many people get 75 HARD confused with a weight loss program, and while that is often a side effect, the main intention is mental toughness. It will fully test your time management and commitment to yourself. Jennifer says the first month took all of her time and effort, leaving little left. She warns that the program is definitely not for the faint of heart.

One benefit of mental toughness is that you can stop yourself from being triggered by things you don’t like about yourself or other people. You know you are capable of tough things, whether it be in dealing with someone, or in changing yourself or your environment. It’s been said that every person is the sum of the people they surround themselves with. Jennifer agrees that what you feed your mind matters. What you choose to surround yourself with can either propel you into success or keep you from it. Jennifer is a firm believer that when your cup is full you have a lot more to give. She chooses to give back through donating a portion of proceeds to animal rescue, rescuing dogs herself, and soon starting a scholarship fund to help women start small businesses.

As a women business owner herself, Jennifer knows what it takes to make a lasting impression. In fact, most of Jennifer’s clients stay with her for the long haul. It’s her breadth of knowledge and experience that makes her a true asset to anyone she works with. When it comes to marketing, being able to hit on all fronts can truly make all the difference.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why 90% of people fail 75 HARD in the first week.
• How to keep your joy and peace.
• What it means to fill your own cup first and why you should.
• And much more!

In a post pandemic world, we’ve all heard the term, ‘the new normal’. No matter how you feel about Covid, no one can deny that some things are forever changed. What Nikki doesn’t agree with is the notion that no one wants to work, and those who do will be able to cherry-pick jobs. There may have been a short period of time immediately after the shutdowns when that was true, but it’s definitely not ‘the new normal’. In fact, the competition for quality jobs may be more fierce than ever. If people learned anything from the pandemic, it was that they want to spend their time where they are valued. 

The companies that you’ll actually want to work for, the ones that treat their employees well, are not hiring just anyone. While some companies will hire just anyone to fill a spot, that is not the case for most. If a company is hiring out of desperation, that just tells you the caliber of people there won’t be top notch. Nikki knows this first hand, as she’s raised the bar on the type of employees she is looking for. To attract those people she’s made sure her wages are competitive, and has even added some benefits. She will, however, leave the spot vacant until she finds the right fit. 

So if you’re falling for the social media posts, or news media, that says you can just walk right into any job, you’re in for a rude awakening. If you appear unmotivated, or have no sense of urgency about finding work, you won’t find it, at least not with a good company. People, more than ever, want to work for a company that cares about them. Those people are holding out for good employers, and good employers are holding out for those types of people. Be prepared to align with the culture and mission the company is striving for. If you have questions about navigating employment or how to get a promotion, feel free to reach out to Nikki on any of her socials. She’ll give you honest answers as an employer and business owner.

What You’ll Learn:

• Where a huge portion of the workforce “disappeared” to.
• Why it’s important to align with a company’s culture and mission.
• What type of attitude won’t get you hired.
• And much more!

As we round out the first month of 2023, it’s a good time to check in with our intentions. If you haven’t mapped out your goals or targets, consider sitting down and making plans to succeed. Whether you subscribe to the new year, new me trend or not, use whatever inspires you. It all starts with setting realistic targets. Too often people try to do too much, too fast, too soon. That’s often a recipe for defeat. It’s been said that the best plan is the one you’re going to stick to. So, make it realistic.

When you have your target set, focus on your discipline and accountability. If, in the past, you’ve made commitments you knew you weren’t going to stick to, and you’ve lost trust with yourself, now’s the time to build it back up. Start with small wins to build that momentum, because baby steps still carry us forward. Push yourself to follow your plan even when you don’t want to, because that’s the most important time to stick with it. If you absolutely can not for whatever reason, don’t make excuses, but give yourself grace, and try again. 

Nikki has a knack for defining goals and breaking them down into monthly, weekly, and even daily steps. If that’s something you struggle with, reach out to her. As always, Nikki can be found on Facebook, Instagram, or at PrissyNikki.com. 

What You’ll Learn:

• Why trying to go from 0 to 100 is a recipe for failure.
• Why you should always be accountable to yourself.
• How to build back trust with yourself.
• What the difference between goals and targets is.
