  • Behind the Mic: Nikki's Journey From Chaos to Confidence
    Aug 13 2024

    Hello our anxious mom friends!

    If you remember in season 1 of this podcast, Alyssa had her own episode where she discussed her journey into motherhood, and her struggles along the way.

    This episode is all about Nikki!

    Nikki was a stay at home mom for 5 years to two little boys (cue the chaos).

    Last year, she had to deal with the adjustment of them going to school full time while she had to learn how to be okay being alone for the first time in years.

    In this episode, we talk about how she was able to cope with that transition, what life is like with 2 crazy little boys, and how we began the journey of this podcast as a duo.

    We laugh.

    We almost cry.

    And we felt inspired by each other in this episode.

    Nikki's strength and willingness to share her struggles with the world are the whole reason we started the podcast in the first place.

    You do not want to miss this episode!

    You can find Nikki at www.instagram.com/@_coffee_and_chaos

    or on www.instagram.com/@mindovermom


    We can't wait to hear what you think about this episode and we will chat again next week!
