What happens when you walk away from the life you “should” want? The career, the marriage, the checklist… and choose your soul instead?

In this episode, I’m joined by my longtime friend Elizabeth Rowan, a spiritual mentor and yoga teacher, and we’ll take you into the wild, beautiful, and sometimes messy world of personal transformation. From meeting on a yoga retreat to navigating life transitions like career shifts and divorce healing, this conversation gets deep fast.

If you're in the middle of a big change or just craving something more meaningful, this episode will show you how things like travel, intentional living, and saying “yes” to discomfort can spark a purpose-driven life. We also dive into energy awareness, tapping into self-exploration, and how to stay rooted in your truth while building a new version of yourself.

You’ll hear why self-discovery can ignite powerful spiritual growth, the beauty of rebirth and renewal in tough seasons, the real meaning behind spiritual mentorship, and how to break free from “shoulds” and make soul-aligned choices. We also tap into why emotional growth is messy but powerful, and how finding purpose is an ongoing journey, not a final destination.

If you're ready to break out of the box, let go of old stories, and step into what’s next, hit play and see what’s possible when you choose yourself.

Here’s to your next chapter,

Nikki

Are you thinking about making a big career change but wonder if it is too late? Maybe you are craving a second act, but fear is holding you back.

In this episode, I sit down with Shannon Russell, a former TV producer, podcast host, speaker, and author of Start Your Second Act, who decided to walk away from a 16-year career to build a life on her own terms. We talk about why the idea that you have to stick with one path forever is not true as she shares her honest story of a major career pivot, her journey through life after motherhood, and how she built a business that aligned with her new values. Shannon shows how personal reinvention is not only possible, it is necessary for true self-discovery.

You will hear what a second act looks like in real life and why it is never too late to start. Shannon and I talk about how to make a smart, strategic career change, why life transitions often create the biggest opportunities for growth, and how self-discovery shapes your next chapter. We also dive into what it feels like to build a business, Second Act Success Career Coaching , after a major career pivot and how to approach life after motherhood with more clarity and confidence.

Listen now and hear how real change can happen at any stage and why your next chapter might be even better than you imagine.

Here’s to your next chapter,

Nikki

What if chasing perfect writing is the very thing holding you back from sharing your ideas?

In this episode, I sit down with Ellen Polk, Founder and Chief Storyteller at Sage House Editorial LLC and a nonfiction book coach,, to talk about how real growth happens when we stop chasing perfection and start showing up with our ideas. Ellen shares her journey from working in tech to building a career around digital writing, content coaching, and ghostwriting services for entrepreneurs and creatives.

You’ll hear why "perfect writing" is a myth and what really matters when building a brand through digital writing. We talk about how digital writing is reshaping personal brands and businesses, why most people stay silent and why you should not, and what a nonfiction editor actually does behind the scenes. You’ll hear how LinkedIn thought leadership can help you build real authority, whether self-publishing is the right move for your first book, and what content coaching looks like for first-time nonfiction authors. We also dig into how ghostwriting services can support your long-term growth without losing your authentic voice.

If you have a story sitting in your notes app, or a book idea tucked away in your brain, this episode will remind you: you do not have to wait for perfection, you just have to start.

Listen in and see why sharing your voice now matters more than ever.

Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, Who am I outside of the roles I play?

In this episode, I sit down with Brittany Hansen, Co-Founder of Viiision, for a real and honest conversation about life, family, business, and everything in between. Brittany shares her personal transformation stories, starting with early motherhood at 21 years old and raising four kids, including two boys living with autism. We talk about what autism parenting really looks like day-to-day and how it shaped her view on emotional growth and emotional healing.

Brittany opens up about how easy it is to lose yourself when you spend years putting everyone else first. She shares how she worked through self-discovery and emotional healing, and how she started building self-confidence again after years of focusing only on motherhood. We also talk about how to rebuild your identity when life looks different than you expected, and how finding your passion later in life can lead to redefining success on your own terms.

Today, Brittany is not only a mom but also a business leader who takes part in trade missions with the U.S. government to expand her company internationally. Her story is proof that personal transformation stories do not happen overnight, but when you stay committed to self-discovery and emotional growth, so much is possible.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering who you are beyond your roles or trying to rebuild your confidence after major life changes, this conversation will feel like sitting down with a friend who truly gets it.

Tune in for a conversation that reminds you it's never too late to redefine what success and happiness look like.

Hey everyone! In this solo episode gone sideways, I'm taking a moment to catch you up on my whirlwind April and the amazing things happening in my world right now.

It's a quick summary of the month, where I dive into my awesome experience at a content creator retreat in Austin (where I was the oldest person there), share some highlights from my travels to Vegas and Phoenix, and reveal the *insane* news that my podcast downloads have increased over 100% this month!

Plus, I'm spilling the details on my upcoming adventures to San Diego with my girlfriends and Colombia with some travel buddies.

As always, thanks for being the reason Round Two Podcast is what it is. I am so happy you're here.

Sometimes, the hardest part of building a startup is realizing it’s time to change direction.

In this episode, I talk with Burhan Syed, one of my friends from the Techstars program, and the co-founder of Rondah AI, an AI dental receptionist that's changing the way clinics handle calls, book appointments, and support their staff.

Burhan shares his unexpected path from running a startup in nightlife tech to building a voice-powered solution that improves clinic workflow through smarter, faster scheduling automation. It's a real look at what happens when founders are honest with themselves, make a thoughtful startup pivot, and focus on real-world problems like missed calls and overwhelmed staff in dental clinics.

You'll hear why Burhan pivoted from a nightlife reservation platform to healthcare and how his early jobs and side hustles shaped his entrepreneurship journey. We also talk about what it was really like going through Techstars, how Rondah AI works, and why dental practices are embracing this kind of receptionist software. Burhan also explains what it takes to build healthcare automation that’s actually useful, the impact of missed calls on clinic revenue, and how his team is scaling a startup in dental tech.

Whether you're deep into your own startup or just curious about how AI is transforming industries like dentistry, this one’s worth a listen.

Most people dream about packing up and traveling the world, but few talk about what that life is really like. How do you find connection and purpose when you're always on the move?

In this episode, I chat with my friend Salvatore Manzi about what it’s really like to live a digital nomad lifestyle. Salvatore has traveled all over, from Kansas to New Zealand to Italy, and his life is full of unique, funny, and thoughtful travel stories.

We talk about how his search for a sense of belonging led him around the world and how years of international travel helped him realize that the comfort he was looking for had to start from within. He also shares how working in coffee shops and doing tour guiding eventually led him to become a communication coach, helping people find their voice and feel more confident when speaking in front of others.

We also get into what the nomadic lifestyle really looks like, how cultural differences shape our experiences, and how travel can lead to real personal growth. Salvatore explains what it was like to teach and work while living abroad and how he now helps others speak with clarity and purpose as a communication coach.

Hit play and get a look at how travel, change, and self-discovery all connect.

Why do so many creative professionals struggle to get paid on time, even after working with well-known brands? It’s a common issue in the creative economy that often gets overlooked.

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and fellow Techstars Accelerator alum, David Akinyemi. David’s journey into the creative economy is anything but typical. He started out flipping sneakers in high school, launched a food delivery startup in college, and eventually found himself modeling for known brands. Through all of that, he found a huge gap in the industry: creative professionals often wait weeks or even months to get paid. That experience led to a major startup pivot.

Originally, David and his co-founder joined Techstars with a fintech concept called Tux, focused on protecting stock compensation for tech employees. But after seeing the financial pain points in his own creative work, they shifted direction and built FACE, a platform that helps creatives get paid faster and more reliably.

We talk about how the idea for FACE came to life, why the current system doesn’t work for freelancers, and how David and his co-founder are tackling the problem of cash flow for creatives. If you’ve ever struggled with managing cash flow as someone doing freelance or contract work, this conversation is going to resonate.

You’ll walk away from this episode with a better understanding of what it takes to build for a community you’re part of, and why listening to real-world pain points can lead to the most meaningful solutions.

Put on your earphones and let this episode spark the thought that maybe the solution you're looking for is the one you were meant to create.
