Resilient, Rural & Raw with Nikki Harris

This episode is about the "smashing Plates" concept. I was sent a post about this from one of my clients and I decided to research it and learn more about it. The smashing your plate concept is all about letting go of something in the past or representing a new beginning. If you are someone who likes to have a very physical task to do that will help a habit stick, this will be great for you. I thi...

I was just inspired by something someone said to me and I felt the need to pop in and say it. I made a hard decision recently to break away from a past environment that I was very comfortable in but as far as my conscience goes, it wasn't adding up and a change needed to occur. The weight that is lifted off of your shoulders when you finally get to have that moment of relief where you do the right...

If you've been here for a minute, you've probably heard me talk on high cortisol before and how it can hold you back from progress. Cortisol is one of our primary stress hormones and we definitely need it in order to survive, but due to our way of life (super high stress almost always) we end up with having elevated cortisol way too often that can lead to a wealth of issues! Not sure if you strugg...

"Good Karma Always Wins". This is a topic that can be applicable for everyone but especially if you have kids. People will treat us the way that we allow them to. We need to set boundaries and expectations for how we want people to respect us. We can teach our kids how to set boundaries with people by doing it ourselves. Hopefully this episode helps you look at things a little bit differently and...

I have been through the shit shows! I’ve been through the ups and downs, the weight gains, the weight losses and the struggle!

We all get to these points in life where we are adding extra balls to our juggling routine, but when we add more in you are bound to drop one and then it's going to all start to fall apart. Sometimes we need to remove a couple of those balls from our juggling. If you are adding a million things to your plate, more balls to your juggling routine, before you drop one, where can we make changes? How...

On today's episode we are going to talk about the fear of success. A lot of people are familiar with the fear of failure and don't ever consider the other side which is the fear of being successful.

I found that a number of my clients tend to struggle with the Sunday scaries especially this time of year with schedules changing, kids going back to school and teachers going back to school.

I did some research and found 10 ways to combat the Sunday scaries so hopefully one of thes...

Today's topic is "eat like an athlete"! This Topic is really helpful not only just for you but if you do happen to have young athletes in your home this is going to be very effective for them as well. A lot of adults don't look at themselves as an athlete and just look at themselves as a normal person just trying to get some movement in. If you are completing some sort of program, if you have a sp...

In this episode I talk about the whole issue with people always wanting to start over on goals. They feel like they always need a fresh start, a new month, a new Monday and then they fail again instead of just continuing on forward.  Staying committed to your health and fitness goals is going to be something that is a mindset shift and that is something I used to struggle with. I am going to talk...

I grew up not in the fitness industry, not really being overly healthy. I went through a lot of body image issues growing up. I think a lot of people forget about that or if they are new to me they don't realize that i haven't always been who I am now. We all have a past, we all have things we have done embarrassing moments, bad nick names, things that you feel like define who we are supposed to b...

I thoroughly believe that tracking, at least for a while, is incredibly helpful and necessary to learn what foods are made of as well as serving sizes!! For example, I'll never forget the times where I learned what an actual serving size of peanut butter actually was (yikes on that one) or how quickly certain foods added up in carbs and fats (girl scout cookies, milkshakes, pizza, alcohol)! I find...

A topic that has been near and dear to my heart that I think we all need to talk about is improving your relationship with the scale. I had the worst relationship with the scale for a long time. I let it determine my mood, how I treated other people, how hard I was going to work out, I let it determine so much about myself and it's so wrong. Today's episode is all about how to use the scale to you...
