Little Talks with Big Nikki

I spent the week organizing, cleaning and finishing my Undergrad! Graduation is unfortunately not looking how I was hoping. Ever create an idea of something in your head and it didn't live up to expectations? Yeah, we as humans tend to do that a lot! We build a vision up in our minds of what we think something will be like and end up disappointed when it doesn't turn out how we thought. When we have to face the reality of a situation it can rock how we perceive other people and situations. We can place unrealistic expectations on people and things because it was all in our heads.

Talking in this episode about how those closest to you are the last to follow you. Also getting into why praying for the same thing over a length of time can become frustrating and disheartening when your not seeing results. Discouragement in your expectation and waiting can result in giving up, is a true cycle for really anything in life.

Discussing the results of an Instagram survey I took surrounding how people are feeling during the stay-at-home order. There seems to be a silent societal pressure that if you do not come out of this time differently, improved, having learned something new you have failed and wasted your time. In this episode of the podcast I am addressing whether the majority of people are actually feeling this way and why shaming people for not being "productive" enough is one of the worst things we can do. 

"Foolish dreamers live in a world of illusion; wise realists plant their feet on the ground" ~Proverbs 14:18

We Are All Going Through The Same Thing!

Talking about how God is waiting to give you something better than what you have right now, but you just have to trust Him. Sometimes you have to give up something that is comfortable and familiar in order to gain something even more worthwhile. Every time without fail, He will leave the 99 to bring you back to Him.

Steven Furtick said it best, "If you talk to the wrong people about the right idea, your idea will die before it has the opportunity to conceive and give birth to what God's doing in your life." Cardi B talks about making Money Moves, but today we're talking about making Silent Moves! Not everyone needs to know everything right when it happens, sometimes you have to do things without seeking opinions from others. Silent Moves can turn into Money Moves when you decide to move on your own behalf!

It's hard to give to others when you get nothing in return. Reciprocity is a complex form of exchanging energies and never knowing if and how it will be reciprocated. I dive into this topic more in depth, but start where reciprocity, or the lack there of, is in it's most visible form- Instagram.

We're back and better than ever! 2020! New Decade, I'm talking resolutions! A re-brand of my podcast and YouTube channel and my own continual growth. Personal growth is difficult, an on-going process, because it's so easy to become complacent with yourself.

I talk about my thoughts surrounding the Christmas season. Sharing memories from my childhood, how much holidays have changed and why I feel like I'm not cut out to be in the Holiday spirit.
