Unraveling with Nikki Alaras

Trust me when I say, this shit is hard. I mean it. Growing up with no financial literacy, the hardest part about learning to save money is navigating your emotions. All our choices are based on our emotions. Being in debt teaches you to work with what you have. Although we're deep in the hole, we are forced to work with what we have, with the that we have. One of our biggest expenses is rent/m...

It's hard, don't get me wrong. But as we get older, we find what works and what doesn't, similar to any relationship. But female friendships are more important than anything. To have someone you can share wholesome experiences with is so healing for my inner child. To dress up, cook, and be silly with is so fun. Bringing play back into my life this year is a must. It takes time to cult...

Think about it: if you had everything you wanted, you wouldn't be as curious about pursuing your passions. You wouldn't have this drive to become the best version of yourself. The journey to your story wouldn't be as exciting if you just read the ending. The story is as good as the plot. You're living in it. ~ YouTube: Nikki Alaras Instagram: Unraveling.

Who you surround yourself with is a reflection of you. You are what you attract. This episode unravels the ways I cultivate peace, recognize my energy levels, and create better boundaries with myself.

As we rush, we make more mistakes. When we take on more projects, responsibilities, or overwork, we often become more susceptible to illness. Weather conditions, such as rain and snow, also force us to be more cautious and slow down. This episode is a reminder to take it easy. Disconnect from social media and reconnect with nature.

Sometimes we forget the bigger picture when we feel stuck. Change is not linear, it will test your ability to handle stress and how you respond to it. This episode unravels how I’ve been managing change.

If you feel lost, this episode is for you.

Life feels like it goes by too quickly when we're constantly overstimulated. Trying to keep up with personal projects and work towards personal growth can feel, at times, exhausting. If you feel like you need to be productive everyday, this episode is for you.

Your greatest asset is time, right now.

On this week's episode, I'll be filming in Moab, Utah. Learning to figure it out along the way and navigate our way from trail to trail, to site to site.

For the longest time, I thought I would manifest the life I wanted if I bought enough crystals and incense. When I realized what manifestation was, I landed my dream jobs twice and got my own apartment. In this episode, I dissect the false beliefs I had and dive into how I started living in my manifestations.

Once you begin to slow down, you begin to realize the beauty in the mundane. Too often we look for happiness in the future, when it's right around us.

I will say it time and time again: there is beauty in knowing nothing lasts. The seasons are a great example of change. They reflect us and how we go through internal changes. Although it takes time, knowing my presence has purpose is enough for me.

Learning to recognize what you have rather than what's missing is a key element of gratitude. In this week's episode, I open up about what I do to track what I'm grateful for, which has been a part of my daily practice.

You're only delaying your growth by not allowing yourself to make mistakes. If you're a creative, let's be honest, you're most likely your worst critic. Too often, we're looking so closely at our progress that we tend to measure the wrong thing at the wrong time. Zoom out, you are exactly where you need to be. Take a breath.
