Ep. 80 Conscious Relationships, Leading with Our Intuition, and Receiving Love with Nikki Novo
Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday!
On the podcast this week is Nikki Novo, bestselling author, intuitive dating coach, and psychic medium.
Nikki is also a certified hypnotherapist with the International Association of Counselors and Therapists, ThetaHealer(r) and Reiki healer, and speaker. Before Nikki become a dating expert, she was the Miami editor for Refinery29 and an editor for MSN. Her work has been seen in Allure magazine, Town & Country, the Huffington Post, DailyWorth, and others. She also spent time in the publicity department of Lionsgate and Fox Searchlight in Los Angeles.
Nikki’s latest book, “The Final Swipe: Heal Your Heart, Find Your Person, and End the Dating Search for Good,” was listed as the number one dating book in Amazon (how cool is that!?). Nikki shares the universe’s dating secrets to finding real, lasting love—even in today’s swiping culture. I loved reading Nikki’s book, and she shares a lot of really valuable information. In her book, you can learn how to: stop dating with anxiety and fear of the future and start actively creating your fate. Feel at peace when dating, texting, and swiping. Heighten your intuition to learn who is wasting your time, how to spot red flags, and who is really the one.
I first learned about Nikki after listening to her on the We Met at Acme podcast last year. And then I heard her on That’s So Retrograde, and I knew we had to have a conversation for Seek The Joy!
I’ve wanted to have a conversation for so long about conscious and mindful relationships, but truthfully I had no idea where to start! I’m so glad Nikki joined me on the podcast this week to chat about Nikki's career journey and how she became an intuitive dating coach. Cultivating mindful and conscious relationships in today’s swiping culture, embracing fear and choosing our courage, and what it means to connect to and rely on our intuition with dating. We talk about removing shame and judgment, recognizing our worthiness, opening ourselves up to receive love, and dating as a spiritual journey to self. Plus, Nikki shares with us her go-to mantra, her top tips and best practices when using dating apps, and so much more!
I can’t wait to hear what you think! Make sure to join the conversation on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!
“I see life through the metaphor of relationships and dating. I always knew I wanted people to have a spiritual life, and I wanted people to remember that we are spiritual beings, but it’s usually a luxury. When I tied it with dating it was much more effective, and people understood it.”
Nikki’s heart is in providing you with spiritual solutions for your everyday challenges — from dating and career to purpose and parenting. She does this through her books, courses, and readings and healings. Whether you’re feeling negative about your dating life, need help manifesting love, or you don’t know how to date - Nikki has the advice and spiritual wisdom to help you heal and move through your blocks.
I loved learning about Nikki’s journey moving from being a fashion and beauty editor to an intuitive dating coach. She’s also incredibly open about her spiritually and connections, and it was really wonderful to hear her share about what that transition was like. As Nikki shares in this week’s new episode, dating is a journey and you really have to get to this space of loving yourself and remembering that you’re worthy.
There’s spiritual work in dating, and I never thought about it that way! When dating isn’t working, we often feel shame - like something’s wrong with us! How do we remove shame from dating? I love what Nikki shared about this, and it really resonated for me.
“When it comes to fear and dating, it’s about knowing that you can be courageous and fearful at the same time. You can hang out with fear, and still do something courageous and move forward.”
When Nikki teaches dating, she also teaches about intuition. It’s about learning to connect with your inner compass, and being able to differentiate between our fear and intuition. As Nikki shares, it’s all about the body connection. Learning to connect with our body, tune into it, and get a sense for what messages and signals it’s giving us. To date intuitively means we have to connect with ourselves first.
In today’s modern swiping culture, how do we cultivate mindful and conscious relationships? It starts with self-love, changing your mindset, stepping into your worthiness, and allowing yourself to be open to receiving.
“Source, guides, or angels, whatever it is that you believe in, shows you one step at a time. You don’t always see the full path, and that’s where it gets a little bit scary! But you have to trust each of those steps, and when you do it will take you where you’re supposed to go.”
When she’s not out healing hearts, Nikki is most likely enjoying her city farm in Miami, with her husband, teen daughter, rambunctious sons, and three-pound Yorkie - who is also her desk mate.
There’s so much more to this conversation, and I’m so excited to share Nikki’s wisdom with you this week!
