Hello, lovely humans. Pull up a chair and get cozy for this heartfelt episode of Create the Space with Cody Maher. I’m so happy to share this nourishing conversation with self-worth coach and real-life pattern-breaker, Nikki McMillan. Trust me, you’ll want a notebook nearby for all the wisdom-nuggets that tumble out!
Nikki’s journey is not your typical “overnight transformation” story. It’s layered—raw at the roots, radiant at the edges. She holds nothing back, sharing how she moved from a turbulent childhood (think: lots of houses, not enough stability) to hustling her way up the mortgage world ladder at just 19, always chasing that elusive feeling of enoughness. Spoiler alert: success and self-worth aren’t the same thing… and Nikki’s lived both sides of that truth.
We get into the nitty-gritty of breaking generational cycles (yep, the stuff that hides in your bones and buttons), finding love after years of toxic patterns, and the next-level healing that motherhood brings—especially when your own little one starts echoing moments from your past. If you’ve ever caught yourself people-pleasing, self-abandoning, or freezing up around crunchy conversations (hello, boundaries!), you are so heard here.
There’s laughter, there’s realness, and there’s permission to own your story, mess and all. Nikki talks about the power of actually having those “uncomfortable conversations” you’d usually sprint from, and how that honest discomfort is the birthplace of actual, embodied confidence (not just the Instagram kind). Her approach to coaching is all about practical magic: baby-step commitments, gentle journaling, and showing up for your inner little one with as much care as you would a best friend.
Bonus: If you’re curious about her signature program, “A Confident Woman Unleash,” we peek behind the curtain and see how Nikki guides women from stuck to self-possessed. Think: pattern-spotting, story-mapping, and actionable tools that feel like soul vitamins.
This episode is an invitation—a reminder that your “mess” might just be the opening act for your honest, luminous comeback. Healing is not about being perfect; it’s about being present, playful, and willing to try again (with kindness).
So, whether you’re a mama, a pattern-breaker, or just someone craving a little more courage, come get inspired. And if you want more Nikki in your life (trust me, you do), all her links, her YouTube channel, and her community are waiting for you in the show notes.
Here’s to making space for what really matters—and loving yourself all the way.
With a full heart,
Cody
