Welcome to the Worrier to Warrior podcast. My name is Nicky. I'm the creator of the Worrier to Warrior system taking you from overthinking, self doubt & perfectionism to Confidence, courage & certainty in all areas of your life. 6 years ago I took everything I'd learnt from my training in the Australian Army, coupled it with all of my formal learning in the field of psych and human behaviour, & weaved through my personal experience & observation of how clients went through their own journey of personal leadership & empowerment. This is how W2W was born 🔥🔥
