Episode 52: One Year In: What This Podcast Taught Me About Showing Up, Growth, and Believing in Yourself

One year ago, I pressed record for the first time and almost talked myself out of it.

I wondered who would listen. I questioned whether my voice mattered. I debated adding one more thing to an already full life.

And yet, here we are one year, 52 episodes, and thousands of downloads later.

This anniversary episode is a reflection on how Struggle & Strength: Moms Balancing It All with Nikki began, how it evolved, and what this journey has taught me about consistency, courage, and showing up before you feel ready.

From my daughter playing the intro on her guitar, to me singing it myself, to a professional intro, and now no intro at all...this podcast has grown because I grew.

In this episode, I share: • How starting imperfectly changed everything • Why consistency builds confidence • What happens when moms give themselves permission to use their voice • And why if I can do this so can you
