The truth about becoming the best version of yourself.
I'm open about the fact that my journey hasn't been an easy one. I've faced my share of adversities—battling opioid addiction and substance use disorder, navigating mental health struggles, and overcoming setbacks that tested me in ways I never expected. What I didn’t realize at the time was that those struggles weren’t just obstacles—they were shaping me, pushing me toward growth, leading me to new opportunities, and revealing a resilience I never knew I had.
Life can be messy, unpredictable, and downright hard—but you don’t have to go through it alone. Nikki helps people navigate life’s challenges by building trust, embracing acceptance, and cultivating gratitude—even during the tough stuff.
As a speaker, storyteller, and advocate, she shares real-life experiences, unique perspectives and practical tools to help you navigate change, overcome obstacles, and support others who may be walking a similar path. With an approach that’s honest, relatable, and from the heart, Nikki doesn’t just talk about resilience—she’s lived it.
She’s passionate about bringing awareness, challenging stigma, and advocating for what truly matters—mental health, addiction, and the power of starting over.
Her mission? To encourage vulnerability, create a safe space for real conversations, ignite transformation, and be a voice of hope when life feels overwhelming. And most importantly—you are never alone; your story isn’t over. It’s waiting for you to write it.
Speaking about the hard stuff to help others do the same.
