Today, Nikki is taking over the show for a solo episode that dives deep into her setbacks and triumphs after a traumatic injury put her physical and mental health at risk.
Recently Nikki sat down with her neurosurgeon, Dr. Uribe, for a highly anticipated conversation at the 2025 Spine Summit in Tampa, Florica with the Congress of Neurological Surgeons.
In a revealing, honest, and very personal episode, Nikki goes deep on getting the news that she had an injury that most doctors defined as career-ending, the physical challenges she faced in the ring that audiences didn’t know about, and long-term damage she risked with her famous Rack Attack finisher. While most doctors weren’t willing to look at what was actually possible for Nikki to have a healthy and happy life outside of the ring, Dr. Uribe was willing to push the boundaries and help Nikki achieve a happy life for years to come.
Nikki Splattered vertebrae, a long road to physical recovery, and fostered the mentality to keep going when times got tough; Nikki explains that she focused on mind over matter and committed to getting better and healing. Nikki explains in detail how she worked on her body and mind with the help of a great support system to bring back confidence, crush uncertainty, and the routines that helped keep her focused on helping her achieve her goals…and the moment that mindset paid off.
Nikki closes things out with a Special Inspiration & Affirmation that connects to her philosophy as a woman overcoming difficult things and being encouraged by so many women who have faced challenges before her and succeeded.
