When was the last time you thought about who YOU are?

Not as a mom. Not as a wife. Not as an employee. Not as the person everyone depends on.

Just you.

In this episode of Struggle & Strength: Moms Balancing It All with Nikki, I share a powerful realization that came from working through my own autobiography and self-discovery journey.

For years, I focused on taking care of everyone else. My kids. My husband. My career. My businesses. My responsibilities.

But somewhere along the way, I stopped asking who I was underneath all those roles.

Today we're talking about:

✅ Why so many moms feel lost even when life looks successful ✅ The importance of understanding your story and recurring life patterns ✅ How your values influence every decision you make ✅ Why strengths matter more than fixing weaknesses ✅ The power of creating a vision for the life you actually want ✅ How reconnecting with yourself changes everything

Because before we build better systems, routines, and schedules, we have to remember who we're building them for.

If you've ever felt like you've lost yourself while taking care of everyone else, this episode is for you.

What if the reason you're feeling burned out isn't because you're doing too much...

What if it's because your daily life no longer reflects what matters most?

In this episode of Struggle & Strength: Moms Balancing It All with Nikki, Nikki shares a powerful realization she had after returning from a family vacation to Alaska. What started as a trip to relax, reconnect, and recharge became a wake-up call about the gap between her values and her priorities.

For years, Nikki believed burnout came from having too much on her plate. But after stepping away from the daily chaos of work, activities, schedules, and responsibilities, she realized something deeper:

Her calendar wasn't aligned with what she valued most.

In this episode, Nikki shares: • Why busy moms often feel overwhelmed even when they're doing everything "right" • The connection between mom burnout and misaligned priorities • How family time, healthy boundaries, and intentional living can reduce stress • The surprising lessons she learned from simplifying life on vacation • Three core values guiding her decisions this summer • Practical questions every working mom should ask herself

If you're feeling exhausted, stretched thin, overwhelmed, or stuck in hustle mode, this episode will help you step back and evaluate what truly matters.

Because sometimes burnout isn't a sign you're doing too much.

Sometimes it's a sign you're spending too much time on things that don't align with your values.
