Hey friends! I intended for this to be a #PocketPod but it got a little long... so it's an episode. Let's talk about transference vs. projection and give you some examples of both. When others have BIG reactions to who we are, it might not be about us after all.

Hey friends! It's been a little while since I've released a podcast, so I wanted to catch you up on what's been happening in my life, and talk to you about my newest learning - being Values Driven versus Goals Driven.

Hey friends! I was teaching tonight and got on a bit of a "soapbox" about the "truth" of things versus our perspective of things. I decided it could make a good "Pocket Pod" - so listen in and let me know what you think! #GroundedVision #DrNikki #DrNikkiTobias #selfcoaching #perspective

Hey hey my friends! I'm back - and with a new idea... to offer some shorter podcast episodes that are a quick idea or question... something you can use right away or something to ponder. I hope you'll like these (still passionate and informative) "Pocket Pods!"

This episode is a tough one to do and a tough one to listen to... This is about the loss of another beloved pet, my dog Cody. He passed suddenly and tragically. In the moment, I noticed my thoughts spiraling and "captured" them and replaced them with thoughts that served me better.

Do you sometimes dread taking a call from someone, or seeing them at an event? Are you angry or anxious more often than makes sense to you? Do you struggle with how to ask for what you need or to enforce the boundaries you set? If so, this episode is for you! It's just part one of a multipart series on Boundaries, but it's a good foundation for the conversation.
