Ever had a day where you were smashing through the to-do list, only to look up and realise you've completely skipped the one thing that keeps you grounded? Same. 

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal (and slightly chaotic) story about missing my morning walk, hyper-focusing on tasks, and realising I’d completely lost sight of the bigger picture.

From roller derby lessons to writing my own eulogy (yep, really), this is your invitation to stop staring at your feet and lift your gaze to where you’re actually heading in life and business. Because your feet already know what to do. It’s your vision that needs a check-in.

So... are you walking just to walk, or are you actually heading somewhere that matters?

Eyes Up

Your feet know what they're doing

In this episode of Rockstar Success, Nicola shares the behind-the-scenes of her first big event - Sales & Marketing Spy School - where she thought she’d completely lost the audience. Blank faces, self-doubt, and a $40K roll of the dice had her questioning everything. 

But what came next was a reminder every leader, speaker, and team member needs: Just because it feels off, doesn’t mean it is. 

You’ll learn why preparation matters, how to bounce back from the inner critic, and why the “boring” stuff you know could be groundbreaking for someone else. If you’ve ever walked off stage or out of a meeting wondering if you tanked, this episode is for you.

The world is ready for your brand of awesome. Let’s go.

When Things Don't Go According To Plan

The 40K Gamble

Right before the big wins... comes the wobble. Ever noticed that? In this episode, I’m lifting the lid on what really happens behind the scenes on the road to success, and why most people pull back right when they’re about to break through.

From moving cities for my son’s dreams, to leaving a DV relationship, to corporate ceilings, copycats, court threats, and comebacks, this is a real-world look at what high-achieving humans face when they’re on the edge of something bigger.

This one’s for you if you’ve been:

    Asking for more, but wondering why everything suddenly feels hard

    On the edge of burnout or breakthrough (or both)

    Feeling tested, second-guessing yourself, or ready to walk away

We’ll talk about:

    The mindset reframe that got me through the toughest times

    How to identify when you’re hitting your upper limit problem (and how to smash through it)

    Why your resilience and self-respect are non-negotiable success tools

    The difference between sabotage and strategy—and how to choose power every damn time

This episode is a reminder that the most successful people don’t avoid hard ... they rise through it. Your next level is waiting.

Mindset Before Momentum: The Truth About Success Setbacks

Alright rockstars, let’s talk about something that doesn’t get spoken about enough… What do you do when the fire goes out?

In this episode, I’m diving into what it really looks like when you’ve been going hard, you’ve achieved some pretty epic things, but suddenly… the motivation just isn’t there. Maybe you’re feeling flat, stuck, bored... or just plain over it. And let’s be honest, when you’re used to being the capable one, the driven one, the high-achiever who’s got it all together… feeling like this can really mess with your head.

I’m taking you behind the scenes of my own journey from back to the early days of building my business from scratch, juggling kids and side hustles, to scaling up to nearly seven figures and then completely redesigning how I work now.

You’ll hear:

    Why that hustle energy you started with won’t carry you forever

    How movement creates motivation (and what to do when you can’t even get off the couch)

    What to look for if burnout’s hiding under your lack of drive

    Why you don’t need clarity to act—and how taking action creates the clarity you’re craving

If you’re in a bit of a slump right now, or if you’ve been wondering what the hell is wrong with you because your usual push isn’t working, this episode is your reminder that you'll be ok. You’re human. And there’s a way through it.

Let’s get you reconnected, re-energised, and back in the game.

Reignite Your Drive: Momentum, Motivation & the Burnout Blindspot

If you’ve ever found yourself lying on the couch thinking, “I should be doing more… but I just can’t,” this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, I’m unpacking what really happens when driven, successful humans hit a dip in motivation—and why it’s often a sign of deeper things like burnout, misalignment, or a shift in purpose. This is something I’ve seen again and again with my clients… and lived myself.

I’m walking you through:

* The real reason motivation disappears after early success

 * How to reignite momentum without relying on adrenaline or burnout

 * Why movement (literal and energetic) is the secret to motivation

 * The clarity-action loop: why waiting to feel “ready” is holding you back

  * The hidden link between burnout, boredom, and emotional exhaustion (especially for high-capacity people)

Whether you’re in a season of scaling, shifting, or rebuilding your business, this episode will help you understand your patterns, reset your energy, and reconnect with the reason you started in the first place.

Because this isn’t just about pushing harder, it’s about aligning smarter, acting with purpose, and building a business that energises you instead of draining you.

What to Do When the Drive Disappears: Momentum, Motivation & Burnout

If you’ve ever made a big decision.. maybe started a new offer, launched a bold idea, pivoted your brand, or gone for that next level, and then suddenly noticed weird energy from the people around you… you are not imagining it.

In this episode, I’m talking about what actually happens when you’re on the edge of an uplevel. From personal experience and years of coaching high-performing humans, here’s what I know: the moment your frequency rises, your world reacts. And sometimes, that reaction looks like resistance, sabotage, and people coming out of the woodwork trying to pull you back down.

I unpack:

    * What’s really going on when the people around you start getting weird or unsupportive

    * Why building your internal armour is non-negotiable as you grow

    * The energetic truth behind visibility and why some people can’t handle your rise

    * The “crabs in a bucket” dynamic that shows up when you’re stepping into more influence, more income, or more impact

    How to hold your ground, protect your energy, and lead anyway

This one’s for the experts, coaches, and creators doing visibility on purpose... not for fame, not just for cash, but because you’re here to help people, to create change, and to lead with integrity.

Here's your reminder that when the crabs start clawing, you’re probably on the right track.

Crabs, Energy & Uplevelling: What Really Happens When You’re About to Rise

The moment you say “I already know this” is the moment you stop growing.

In this episode of Rockstar Success, I’m diving into one of the biggest traps smart, experienced professionals fall into: closed-loop thinking. Whether it’s in business, leadership, sport, or life... walking into any room with an “I’ve done this before” mindset can be the very thing holding you back.

We explore:

    * What really happens when we stop being curious and start assuming

    * Why high-performers (and entire teams) can stagnate even with all the tools at their fingertips

    * The power of showing up to every opportunity with a “teach me something new” energy

    * The problem with information without implementation and how to fix it

    * Why personalisation, accountability, and commitment are what actually drive long-term success

I’ll share stories from roller derby, Unleash the Power Within, my own speaker training, and more, plus what it taught me about being a leader who learns and a learner who leads.

This episode is a must-listen if you're building a culture of high performance, championing growth in your team, or personally striving to stretch beyond what you think you already know.

Because real success? It comes from staying teachable.
