    The Hidden Psychology of Self-Sabotage for Coaches & Entrepreneurs

    Leave a comment or ask a question! Self-sabotage in business rarely looks like failure. More often, it disguises itself as logic, integrity, alignment, or “being responsible.”  In this episode, I'm unpacking the psychology of self-sabotage through the lens of the nervous system—and naming the six most convincing, sneaky patterns that quietly block growth for coaches, therapists, and heart-led entrepreneurs. You’ll learn why self-sabotage isn’t a mindset issue, but a threat response rooted in the brain and nervous system, and how patterns like over-preparing, under-selling, chronic urgency, price hesitation, and spiritualized avoidance can keep you stuck without ever looking like fear. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “everything right” but still not seeing the level of income, visibility, or momentum you desire, this episode will help you: • Identify the hidden self-sabotage patterns in your business  • Understand the nervous-system drivers behind them  • Distinguish true alignment from avoidance  • Begin building safety for expansion, visibility, and sustainable success This episode is especially powerful for coaches, therapists, wellness practitioners, and purpose-led entrepreneurs ready to grow without burning themselves out or staying stuck in over-preparation. Expansion doesn’t require force. It requires safety. Let’s talk about what’s really been in the way.

    The 5 Seasons of Your Coaching Business: How to Grow Sustainably Without Burning Out

    Leave a comment or ask a question! In this episode, I’m breaking down the five seasons of business that most coaches, therapists, and wellness practitioners move through – and what each season is actually asking of you psychologically, strategically, and from a nervous-system perspective. Instead of chasing the next milestone or forcing yourself into a season you’re not ready for, we explore how to honour where you are, build the right foundations, and grow sustainably (without burning out or abandoning yourself in the process). We dive into: Season 1: Newly certified – shifting from “student” to “professional” and feeling safe being seenSeason 2: You have some clients – backing your method, sharing your story, and owning your authoritySeason 3: Fully booked but fried – boundaries, systems, pricing, and your first aligned hireSeason 4: Ready to serve more – creating scalable offers, funnels, and new skills for sustainable growthSeason 5: The ecosystem – overflow, giving back, and building a values-led body of workBy the end of this episode, you’ll be able to name the season you’re in and understand what it needs from you right now – instead of believing you’re “behind”. 🔗 Resources & Ways to Work Together: – Free community for early-stage practitioners click here. – The Empowered Practitioner Membership (for seasons 2–4) click here – High-level 1:1 mentorship for deeper, hands-on support click here Connect With Me Via IG (and feel free to drop any questions you want me to cover in the podcast!): @nikki.heyder Join our FREE Heart Led Hustle Community - a space for all level wellness entrepreneurs to learn, grow + collaborate: Join Here Become a member of The Empowered Practitioner Method and learn how to create a sustainable online wellness practice integrating psychology, strategy, manifestation & nervous system tools.

    Fear of Being Seen: How to Overcome Visibility Blocks in Business

    Leave a comment or ask a question! In this episode of Heart Led Hustle, I dive into one of the most universal fears in entrepreneurship — the fear of being seen. If showing up online, creating content, or using your voice makes you feel exposed or anxious, this one’s for you. We’ll explore the psychology behind visibility fears — from childhood conditioning and attachment wounds to the identity shifts that happen as you grow into your business. I break down how these fears are wired in the brain and nervous system, and how to meet them with compassion instead of judgment. Plus, I share six practical strategies to help you feel grounded and confident in your visibility — from rewiring your self-talk and simplifying your message to using energy work, journaling, and daily micro-practices that retrain your nervous system to feel safe being seen. If you’ve ever caught yourself overthinking what to say, second-guessing how you sound, or comparing yourself to others online — this episode will help you reconnect to your truth and express your voice with clarity, courage, and authenticity. ✨ Mentioned in this episode: Visibility Masterclass: Click Here To AccessThe Empowered Practitioner Business Program: Click Here To Join UsConnect With Me Via IG (and feel free to drop any questions you want me to cover in the podcast!): @nikki.heyder Join our FREE Heart Led Hustle Community - a space for all level wellness entrepreneurs to learn, grow + collaborate: Join Here Become a member of The Empowered Practitioner Method and learn how to create a sustainable online wellness practice integrating psychology, strategy, manifestation & nervous system tools.

Ever wondered why when you focus on something — a goal, a desire, a new car — you suddenly start seeing it everywhere?  That’s not “just the universe”… it’s your Reticular Activating System (RAS) doing its job.
