The Recovering Grinder

Having the willingness to educate yourself and learn other concepts of truth is sheer wisdom. If one is complacent and content with what they've been told to believe and never once attempts to gain an understanding of opposing or varying viewpoints- it pushes them far from bettering themselves as human beings.  Allow these 5 minutes to sink in and permeate your mind to simply be open to gain...

Welcome to NikiBlu Notes! These are short-form audio in a series of recordings that range anywhere from 3-6 minutes. I will be incorporating these into my podcast from time to time. You can listen to them on a quick break or in between tasks. NikiBlu Note #1 covers the topic of "Day Ones." If you have a Day One, you may have found yourself in a situation where you felt obligated to inclu...

If you've ever had to face fear head-on, then this episode is for you! We'll pick apart the complex interplay between fear, faith and the impossible. Fear can have a profound impact on our lives: from moments of paralyzing doubt to instances of overwhelming uncertainty, but the inherent resilience in us opens us up to the impossible. This reminds us that faith is not the absence of fear,...

Have you ever done something in life and felt the need for external validation? Don't worry! You are NOT alone...many of us out here are trying to figure it all out in these external validation streets! Haha...but seriously, we can navigate our way to a place of being content with self-validation! My hope is to share and impart wisdom to those who need to hear this message. Please feel free t...

Have you ever struggled with staying consistent in everyday life? I recently learned that only 8% of people actually keep their New Year's Resolutions. I stopped kidding myself long ago. Did you see that? That means 92% didn't quite cut the mustard! I am definitely part of that crew! I've decided that I need to make some changes. We can all do better, right? My hope is to share and...

Before you head to the cookout, make sure you make enough for home! If you've ever had to cook a dish or meal for a holiday or cookout to take to someone else's spot, you know the importance of ensuring you have enough at home when you return. Always take care of home, first! My hope is to share and impart wisdom to those who need to hear this message. Please feel free to share this podc...

Let's face it...we've seen a lot of people steal others' work or ideas and not only pass it off as their own but have the audacity to compete with the person they stole the idea from! We are all here for our own reasons and purpose. We also have our own arsenal of tools to use towards our goals. But are you stealing or are you inspired? Let's talk about it! My hope is to share...

This is the last episode of Season 1 y'all! It's so hard to believe I've come this far.

I look forward to giving you my best in Season 2!  My hope share and impart wisdom to those that need to hear this...

Have you ever heard someone say the phrase "Be My Peace"?  Whether it was directed towards you, or you heard it spoken on social media within a group, you're probably familiar with it and its intended meaning. This episode discusses the phrase and the mindset behind it. Hopefully, I can help shed some light on its meaning and the need for peace.  My hope is to share and impart wisdo...

Sometimes we have to fight urges to interject ourselves into other folks' business.  It seems much easier to take a back seat and spectate, rather than be a pilot or co-pilot in someone else's journey! You may think you are "helping" when you are probably being nosey and messy. We need to change that! I know that not everyone has the intention to be messy and nosey, but at the...

Sigh...not much to type on this one. You'll just have to listen to get it. I'm still growing y'all. I hope you are able to identify and relate as I, too, am learning to accept the changes that are happening within me daily.  With Love,  ~The Recovering Grinder www.mielanicole.com

The thought of starting over can be daunting because when we think of making a change or discovering our life's purpose, we come up with many reasons why we can't. Don't give up before you even get going! I know all too well from my own experience how the human brain can make you think it's too late. Don't be fooled, you have so much to offer! I hope you are able to identi...

If you ever find yourself on autopilot most days and find that you aren't as productive as you would like to be, know that you are NOT alone! Maybe you don't realize, but you are living your life by default! Let's change that...for the better! I hope you are able to identify and relate as I, too, am learning to accept the changes that are happening within me daily.  With Love,  ~The...

We are all perfectly crafted and created for our time here on Earth. There is no reason why anyone should know what YOU need better than YOU! Intuition is a real thing that does not lie. Trust it! Go within...it is easier said, believe me - but the more we realize how beautifully made we are, the better off we will be. Don't you want to live the life you were destined for? You deserve to be h...

Listen...it's time to stop "playing small", depriving yourself of what you really want in life! Don't allow yourself to be controlled by what society deems as "normal". Just get what YOU want, indulge in the things YOU desire! Don't live your life for others just to make them feel comfortable. That is a hidden measure of control - we know you don't really wa...

In these times, it can be quite difficult for some of us to speak our truths, especially when we feel we may have something to lose. The truth is, we can't allow fear to keep us from letting it be known where we stand.  It is also imperative that we protect ourselves and our energy. It pays to speak up and speak out! I hope you are able to identify and relate as I, too, am learning to accept...
