We're diving deep with the incredible Nikki Bowman, a former military powerhouse turned psychology guru and globe-trotting trivia collector.
Today, Nikki's sharing her wildly unique journey from serving her country to teaching college students and building an online community that’s as supportive as it is vibrant. Whether she’s discussing how to craft compelling characters in her creative writing or how traveling the world has expanded her perspective on mental wellness, Nikki brings a refreshing mix of wisdom and wit to our show other than my waffles.
Embracing life's trials, transforming setbacks into comebacks, and laughing at the unexpected can profoundly change our lives.
