In this episode of the Spritz Girl Mindset Podcast, I sit down with my friend Nikki Warah to talk about what happens when your identity gets tangled up in what you do, who you help, or the version of yourself you thought you were supposed to be.

Nikki shares her journey from being a health coach to becoming a nail artist, and how that transition wasn’t just a career change. It was a full-on unraveling and rebuilding of self. We talk about hormonal health, burnout, feeling lost in your own body, and the deep grief that comes with realizing the plan you had is no longer the one you actually want.

This conversation is about the part of the hero’s journey no one glamorizes. The in-between. The confusion. The moment you realize that letting go of an old identity might be the most loving thing you can do for yourself.

We talk about trusting your gut when the world expects proof. Choosing creativity as a form of healing. Letting yourself be supported. And redefining success as something that feels like you instead of something that looks impressive to everyone else.

If you have ever sat in the space between who you were and who you are becoming, this episode is going to feel like a deep breath.
