My Freak Accident, Surgery, and How the Body Keeps Score: Mine Finally Said Enough
Tue Feb 03 2026
In this solo episode, Nikki shares the unexpected chain of events that led her into surgery and forced her to confront something far bigger than a physical injury.
After months of pushing forward through exhaustion, stress, and emotional overload, she opens up about what happens when the body finally says enough. She reflects on navigating fear, loneliness, and vulnerability without the support she hoped for, and what it revealed about her patterns of strength, independence, and over-responsibility.
Drawing on spiritual and emotional teachings from Louise Hay and Caroline Myss, Nikki explores the idea that the body carries messages long before it breaks. From nervous system overload to the symbolism of injury, this episode is an honest conversation about burnout, resilience, and the cost of always being the one who holds it together.
This is not an episode about answers. It’s about listening, slowing down, and learning to receive instead of push.
Listener Takeaways:Why injuries often arrive after emotional and nervous system overload, and why we ignore the signsHow to decode the deeper lessons behind physical ailments and dis-ease in the bodyHow being “strong” becomes a survival pattern that blocks support and leads to burnoutWhat your body is trying to tell you that you’re not listening toThe uncomfortable truth no one wants to admit: feeling unsupported can be as painful, if not more, than physical injuryWhy asking for help only works when you’re asking the right people, not just askingYou never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes: Nikki’s story you haven’t heard before
