Or maybe you're navigating divorce, a diagnosis, faith change, grief, a parenting season that's changed everything, or an identity shift you didn't choose. Every hard human experience asks you to let go of who you were before you know who you're becoming — and that gap is where transition anxiety shows up, where you feel lost during a transition you can't fully name. Both are normal. And you don't have to go through it alone.</p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">I'm Nikki P., a therapist turned storyteller. I built this show because I needed it myself — and realized other people did too. Every week, I have honest conversations with people living in the messy middle — holding joy and grief, gratitude and struggle, certainty and uncertainty — all at the same time, without pretending any of it isn't real.</p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">No toxic positivity. No fix-it mentalities. Just real language for the feelings you couldn't name, and permission to be exactly where you are. If you've been craving emotional support during transitions, or just a podcast that makes you feel a little less alone — this is for you.</p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Life isn't either/or. It's both. And you're allowed to hold all of it.</p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">New episodes weekly.
