About the episode:
I’ve wanted to have today’s guest on the podcast for MONTHS! But she didn’t want to come on until she manifested the seemingly impossible goals she’s set for herself – so she’s here today and I’m excited for you to hear her journey! Nicky Bevan is a life coach for teams and individuals who want to build their emotional resilience, become more organised and get their shit done in a calmer, more grounded way, so it’s no surprise that she’s been able to manifest a huge bump in income from a regulated place.

Topics discussed:
- The necessary inner work of manifesting and sitting with the hard emotions and how this was the biggest jumping off point for Nicky
- How letting go of attachment and self-doubt will help you create more abundance in your business while allowing it feel EASY

[00:00:00] Jamie: All right. I have an inspiring interview for you I have the amazing Nicky Bevin here with me and this interview, I would say it’s a long, has been a long time coming, but it hasn’t been that long. It’s been something that the both of us have been manifesting, uh, for I would say a couple of months now or maybe like.
[00:00:22] Jamie: Six months, nine months, something like that. We had a vision of Nicky
[00:00:26] Nicky: Yeah, at least.
[00:00:28] Jamie: to wait until she reached her impossible goal to do it, and she said, once I reach my impossible goal, I am coming on. So I’m so excited for you all to hear. Nicky’s super inspiring journey. Of shifting her relationship with money, completely opening up to receiving, creating the impossible, and just for you to have the magic of Nicky Beman because she’s an amazing human.
[00:00:56] Jamie: So Nicky, welcome to the podcast. I’m so [00:01:00] happy to have you here. We are doing it.
[00:01:05] Nicky: Oh my gosh, there’s gonna be tears isn’t there? Have hearing you say that? I’m already getting emotional, so yes, let’s bring in the emotions. Isn’t it incredible though? So this is the second thing now that you and I have manifested. ’cause right back when we were in Texas around lunch and you said, I’m gonna, I’m gonna go manifest a retreat.
[00:01:25] Nicky: And then I was like, I’m gonna manifest going on Jamie’s retreat. And then we did that and so now we’re doing the podcast. So you and I are good
[00:01:32] Jamie: of
[00:01:33] Nicky: manifesters together.
[00:01:35] Jamie: It’s always
[00:01:35] Nicky: I.
[00:01:35] Jamie: to manifest together. A hundred percent. So, Nicky, tell us a little bit about you before we dive into your story. If you could share, um, about what you do as a coach and entrepreneur, dive into that.
[00:01:50] Nicky: Yes, love to. So, um, thank you so much for having me. I am beyond delighted to be here. So I’m Nicky Bevin. I class [00:02:00] myself as the loving, no bullshit life coach for working moms who love their job. She fiercely loves her children, but she isn’t enjoying either because of this constant hamster wheel she feels she’s on of overwhelm mum guilt rushing from one thing to the next.
[00:02:16] Nicky: Feeling exhausted and then beating herself up for snapping at her kids. And recently I’ve also pivoted into working with teams and small business businesses that that marking room is actually a part of and helping them build. Their emotional resilience and emotional maturity as a team. So I feel like regardless of who I’m working with, it is really around that emotional strength, emotional resilience, emotional maturity, and really making a very conscious, deliberate choice about how we want to live our life.
[00:02:54] Nicky: Not that that should be positive, but it should. It should be deliberate and appropriate, [00:03:00] and not many people realize they have that choice. So. Yes.
[00:03:04] Jamie: It.
[00:03:07] Nicky: Brilliant question. So for me, there are times like, I think if you are experiencing a bereavement, for example, it’s not necessarily an appropriate time to feel happy Joyce, and positive if you’ve, if you’ve. Just dreamed of a job and you didn’t get it. It’s not appropriate to feel happy, Joyce, and positive.
[00:03:26] Nicky: So it’s about giving yourself permission to deliberately grieve, to deliberately feel disappointed, giving your space to yourself space to experience that emotion and then move on with the lessons from it. So it’s, it’s more about, um, yeah, allowing yourself to. To fully experience emotions rather than avoid them, distract from them and all the things that we generally tend to do.
[00:03:55] Nicky: So it’s not always appro appropriate to be, and like we talk a [00:04:00] lot in the, the community, your community don’t we, about being courageous and committed and uh, and they’re not always necessarily positive feeling emotions, but they move us forward. So that’s what I mean by deliberate.
[00:04:13] Jamie: And you talked about emotional resilience. Is that how you would describe that? I.
[00:04:21] Nicky: Yes, so emotional resilience for me is feeling the fear and doing it anyway. It’s feeling the guilt and allowing yourself to cry. It’s feeling the nerves of standing up in front of a group of people and doing it anyway, not making your negative emotion. Emotions a problem.
[00:04:38] Jamie: that’s going to be infused when we talk about your journey of. Creating your business
[00:04:45] Nicky: Yes.
[00:04:45] Jamie: of growing your business
[00:04:47] Nicky: Yeah.
[00:04:48] Jamie: money with more ease. I feel like that’s probably a big part of that journey for any entrepreneur is building up emotional resilience.
[00:04:56] Nicky: Yes.
[00:04:59] Jamie: Yeah,[00:05:00]
[00:05:00] Nicky: it’s a huge part of it, Jamie. I’m sure we’ll touch on it at some point, but the emotions that you go through, especially if you’ve been used to being in employment, if you’ve never been self-employed before, it is an emotional rollercoaster. And learning how to be okay with the downs as well as the highs is vital.
[00:05:19] Nicky: So I think one of the most incredible. Gifts that being part of your community has given me in the money manifestation movement and your mastermind. I really feel like I’ve got such a solid, grounded foundation now, of which my business can just grow beyond. On, you know, there’s no, and I don’t, and I feel like I’ve got such a solid, grounded base that I could go higher than the skyscrapers.
[00:05:51] Nicky: So, and, and it’s because I’ve been through self-doubt, shame, fear. And I can remember you [00:06:00] coaching me one time so deeply my brain was empty like that. You, you can, I can remember you saying to me, Nicky, what’s happening? I went. There’s literally nothing left. I think we had gone that deep and you have to strip all that away in order to grow so, so strongly.
[00:06:22] Nicky: From that point, I think
[00:06:23] Jamie: dive into that journey of yours, and I’ve witnessed, oh my gosh, you have stepped into so much courage you’ve had. So much growth. That’s why I was so excited and inspired to
[00:06:34] Nicky: I.
[00:06:34] Jamie: you on the podcast ’cause you’re such an example of what’s possible and the willingness that you had to really dive deep and go within and look at everything has been, like I said, absolutely inspiring. So I’m wondering, could you take the listeners back to where you were when you started this journey, or like right before you started it? What was it that, [00:07:00] first of all, made you want to get into this work of manifesting money and the work that I do of having an aligned business. Um, and what was maybe your programming before that that made you wanna dive into this work?
[00:07:14] Jamie: Mm-hmm.
[00:07:16] Nicky: Hmm, good question. So I, I always felt like I’ve always enjoyed working. I’ve always loved making money. Like I al in the sense I loved earning money. I think there’s a difference. Um. And I, I was, I was babysitting at like the age of 13. I was washing up in a pub, like as soon as I could work, I worked and I loved working.
[00:07:41] Nicky: I’ve always loved working and, but I all, and, and I could work like. I, I could remember getting up to start a shift in an airport at four 30 in the morning, and then I would go from one job to the other, to the other to the other. And then my mom would end up picking me up at midnight because I would’ve finished my pub job.
[00:07:58] Nicky: And she was so scared that I [00:08:00] was too tired to drive home so
[00:08:01] Jamie: we have
[00:08:02] Nicky: I could work like,
[00:08:04] Jamie: Same, same, same.
[00:08:05] Nicky: yes, hours.
[00:08:06] Jamie: Yep.
[00:08:08] Nicky: Yes. Hours aren’t a problem. And then, so when I went into like more corporate office work, if I just wanted more over, I would just do more overtime. Like if I wanted more money, I’d do more overtime and then, but I always felt like I had more to give.
[00:08:24] Nicky: I always felt like whilst I loved what I was doing, I, I had more to give. We were, um, the company that I was working for at the time, two of the directors had come back from a Tony Robbins retreat, totally buzzing with energy, as you can imagine. They’re like, right, we wanna bring this energy into the business, Nicky, we think you are the person to coordinate this week of energy.
[00:08:50] Nicky: And as, and it was brilliant. But as that week went on, I got more and more frustrated and I could remember a memory when I was 15. I wasn’t, I’m not academic. [00:09:00] I did not get good grades at school. I would be diagnosed dyslexia if I was in education now, 100%. And um, I can remember saying to the careers advisor, I wanna help people find their way.
[00:09:14] Nicky: Like I don’t wanna tell them they’ve got turn left or right. I wanna help them find their way. And I remember the careers advisor kind of screwed her face up at me and went. Go and do hairdressing. And I did. I went and do hairdressing, a beauty therapy, but I always felt I had more. And this week I just got more and more frustrated and I said to this woman, and she called it a listening post.
[00:09:35] Nicky: I said, I feel like I’ve got this energy in my hands and my arms, and I need to give it out to the world. And I don’t know what it is. But it scares me. And she said, what have you heard of Life Coaching? Never heard of life coaching. She said, well, that’s what I do. I just help people find their way. So I came outta that Googled life coaching, found the Life Coach Call podcast.
[00:09:59] Nicky: [00:10:00] Went home that night and I said to his, my husband, Johnny, I’m gonna be a life coach. And he was like, what? What the fuck are you talking about? Whatcha talking about? I said, no, I’m gonna be a life coach. This is my thing. And from that point on, I just knew I had found what I was just supposed to do in my life.
[00:10:21] Nicky: And so it was a journey then of, first of all, he was really my first
[00:10:27] Jamie: Yeah.
[00:10:28] Nicky: Very unconsensually. He’s now a life. I, it was just then this journey of going, right, how am I gonna make this happen? I didn’t know about manifesting at the time, but we were in the middle of developing, redeveloping our house and he’s like, please don’t tell me you are trying to get made redundant.
[00:10:45] Nicky: It sounds like you’re trying to get made redundant and we, we can’t afford that. We need you to be working and. Well, that’s exactly what I was doing looking back and it worked. Like I realized, looking back at my life, I’ve the amount, like I always wanted two [00:11:00] boys, Jamie as children, and I got two boys.
[00:11:02] Nicky: That’s a choice you do not get to make, like, you know, and my house as it as it is now, I totally visualize that at a point where my husband couldn’t, I, I could see myself sat on my sofa looking out my window and the space, and we’ve got that now. So when I started, and I used to love your energy way back when you were doing your PCs,
[00:11:25] Jamie: Yep.
[00:11:26] Nicky: P pc, the weight loss coaching.
[00:11:28] Nicky: I can’t say those. Yeah, thank you. And I was like, oh my God, she’s, she’s just brilliant. I loved you so much. And then, so when you started talking about manifestation, I was like, oh, I think that’s what I’ve been doing, like my whole life. Just not even realizing, not even realizing. And so that then was like.
[00:11:50] Nicky: I kind of like that as an idea, as a business model that you just manifest what you want. Um, I wish [00:12:00] I could say that then. It was that easy
[00:12:05] Nicky: because it was not to begin with at all. And I was trying to remember when I actually joined, joined the movement. So it must have been September if we were in Texas together. It must have been that summer that I joined the manifestation movement.
[00:12:23] Jamie: ago. Yep.
[00:12:26] Nicky: Yes. Yeah. It must be. And it, I, the resistance that part of me had to just being able to let go was I. Huge. Even though I could see evidence of what I’ve created, just like we hear over and over again, I don’t know how I can apply that to money. I don’t know how I can apply that to my business. And, and I was exactly the same.
[00:12:53] Nicky: I just couldn’t, I couldn’t imagine ever actually [00:13:00] earning, so my goal for a while has been to create six K profit months. And it just felt impossible. And I, and, and I never even felt like I got close. I had one month once about two years ago where I earned about 4,000 and I just never got close to it since I’m like, this is never gonna happen for me.
[00:13:21] Jamie: Yep.
[00:13:22] Nicky: I must somehow be different. And, and then four very significant things happened, followed by two decisions. Do you want me to go into that story? Okay. Yeah, so, and I really do feel like this has only really been in the last, now six months, where I’ve had this really significant shift.
[00:13:45] Jamie: what I feel is the first year of this work, I would say ish, you were really doing deep, deep foundational work. You know, I don’t think you could have gotten to where you got at this, you know, six months ago [00:14:00] had you not done that foundational work.
[00:14:02] Jamie: That felt, I’m sure very
[00:14:04] Nicky: Yes,
[00:14:06] Jamie: Yeah.
[00:14:07] Nicky: absolutely. Absolutely. And looking back, I can see that at the time. I think what makes it so hard is that you are going through all these really shit emotions and you’ve got self-doubt and you’ve got shame, and you’ve got fear and you’ve got nothing to show for it. Nothing to show for it. And I think that’s.
[00:14:31] Nicky: That’s when the courage kicks in. And I always had this belief, although I didn’t know it was a belief, I just thought it was a fact that I’m not, stop. I’m not stopping. I am not stopping. I’ve got something to give the world. I am not stopping. And so that kept me going and kept me going and thankfully kept me going.
[00:14:49] Nicky: But um. Yeah, four really significant things happen. So the first one was my friend, my friend Lulu, who has, who has also been a client. She’s very spiritual [00:15:00] and she’s very religious. I’m incredibly successful. And she said, I said to her one day, okay, Lulu, what do you see about me then? And she just said, well, I’m gonna cry.
[00:15:11] Nicky: She said, Nicky, you really confused me because. You clearly have so much love inside you to give the world. It’s so obvious that you, you are full of love. And she said, but what confuses me is that I don’t think you realize how loved you are by the universe, and I don’t think you allow yourself to receive it at all.
[00:15:34] Nicky: And I was like, oh my gosh, you are so true. So true. And she said, normally people receive love, but don’t give it.
[00:15:40] Jamie: Giving
[00:15:40] Nicky: Whereas you, you are, you are full of it. We’re not receiving it. And then you, and then, um, you had said to Erin in one of our coaching calls, do you have a relationship with God or what’s your relationship with God?
[00:15:55] Nicky: And I, and it just, you weren’t even talking to me, but it just got me thinking, well, what. What even [00:16:00] is God? Like, what’s God? I’ve never been religious. I still didn’t really class myself as religious, but I just started to think about, well, what is the universe for me and you? The universe for me is this.
[00:16:14] Nicky: Huge higher energy that we all belong to, that we are all part of that is created from Love, for Love by Love. It’s what’s, there’s no beginning, middle, or end. And it’s all around us and we all have access to it. And I was like, well, maybe that’s God.
[00:16:34] Jamie: Yeah.
[00:16:35] Nicky: was kind of playing with that. And then my friend Lulu said to me, well, I sing in church.
[00:16:41] Nicky: Why don’t you just come along to my church, just see what you think. So I thought, okay, well she’s singing, so that’d be nice. And oh my gosh, Jamie, it was the most, um, I’ve done some uncomfortable things, but work walking into that room that day.
[00:16:57] Jamie: Um,
[00:16:58] Nicky: I was petrified. I was [00:17:00] absolutely petrified. It wasn’t even a church building, it was a community hall.
[00:17:04] Nicky: And I was so uncomfortable and my, my friend Lulu came running over, gave me a big hug. She said, oh, come and sit by my mom. I’m gonna go up and start the worship. And their worship is 45 minutes of song and singing. And she started singing. She had the most beautiful voice for one. And I sat there listening to the words and listening to the music, and.
[00:17:30] Nicky: Opening myself up and I just sat and sobbed because I suddenly realized that this has got nothing, nothing to do with me, absolutely nothing to do with me. This is all part of such a higher plan that I know nothing about, that I am not in control of, and it was the most incredible. Incredible moment, incredible release [00:18:00] of surrender, and I just, I just felt so loved, so guided, so supported.
[00:18:11] Jamie: Wow.
[00:18:12] Nicky: It was amazing. It was just incredible. And. So that, that was, and, and, and it’s all the words that you’ve ever said to us, you know? And so I came out of that and I was like, well, that was powerful.
[00:18:26] Jamie: that, we were like, what happened, Nicky? Like we could see a shift in your whole being. The whole mastermind could, everybody was like. Wow. Nick, like we noticed something.
[00:18:37] Nicky: What.
[00:18:38] Jamie: I’m curious, what do you think? You were so scared of walking in. What? Why were you petrified?
[00:18:45] Nicky: I think it’s the growing up. My parents weren’t religious. I, but, but I had to go to church on Christmas day and it was heavy. It was cold. Emotionally and physically. It was very
[00:18:58] Jamie: Yeah.
[00:18:59] Nicky: [00:19:00] like heavy. It was just, and I think I was just. Scared of judgment. I think I was scared of, and, and it was completely the opposite.
[00:19:09] Nicky: It was completely
[00:19:10] Jamie: or judgment from God.
[00:19:13] Nicky: both.
[00:19:13] Jamie: Okay.
[00:19:15] Nicky: I think both all of that. All of all of it. And, and I think there was a part of me that was scared about releasing control. Um, yeah, I think it, it was. It was, it was almost like it can’t be that,
[00:19:37] Jamie: subconscious
[00:19:38] Nicky: simple. It
[00:19:39] Jamie: on. Like, I know what’s gonna happen if we walk in here.
[00:19:44] Nicky: I know like, can it, and so it was, it was, it was amazing. And then I think it was the weekend after that. I was then with you in San Diego at the retreats, the second retreat. And that’s when I had my other shift was [00:20:00] one, the healing that we did over that weekend was so beautiful, but also I had this absolute realization that, hang on a minute, I can remember telling you, I’m looking at abundance.
[00:20:13] Nicky: Like you would look at a view and, and specifically the ocean. And I’m looking at this beautiful view going, oh, look at abundance over there. Isn’t it lovely? Isn’t it beautiful over there? And I was never actually getting in it. I was never getting in the water. I was never allowing myself to submerge myself in abundance and fully allow it to be all around me and in me, and on me, and, and, and just.
[00:20:40] Jamie: Yeah.
[00:20:41] Nicky: Like envelope me. I was never letting myself do that. Ever, ever. And so that was, that was then like the fourth. That was like the fourth thing then that happened, like those four things. I just think from that point on I was like, this is inevitable. [00:21:00] This is inevitable.
[00:21:01] Jamie: Can I ask you real
[00:21:02] Nicky: Um
[00:21:03] Jamie: ’cause I think so many people are
[00:21:05] Nicky: hmm.
[00:21:05] Jamie: and sometimes that’s where I love to teach future self work of like. Getting to know your future self, right? And then starting to embody that. But I think sometimes unintentionally that gets interpreted as always looking at your future self as separate from you.
[00:21:23] Jamie: And it’s so similar of like looking at that abundant, wealthy version of you. In the future and not really letting yourself to truly vibrationally align with that now and step into that now. And so many people say, well, I can’t, ’cause I don’t have the
[00:21:38] Nicky: Yeah.
[00:21:39] Jamie: I can’t, I don’t have the money to be that person.
[00:21:41] Jamie: So I would love to hear from you. How you saw that shift and allowed that shift to happen where you weren’t looking outside at the ocean. You’re like, oh wait, I just have to literally step into this ocean of abundance, like it’s available now. Can you
[00:21:57] Nicky: Yeah.
[00:21:57] Jamie: through, was there a mindset shift there? [00:22:00] Was there, was that a visualization?
[00:22:02] Jamie: Like how did you let yourself step into abundance now?
[00:22:08] Nicky: Yeah, it’s, for me, it’s a form of meditation. I would say it’s, it’s a form of, I don’t know that I do visualize. I visualize a lot, but I think when it comes to abundance, I. I can fill myself up with abundance, with having nothing. So for me, it’s a pr, it’s a practice. It’s a practice of actually letting yourself hold that success, hold that abundance, hold that gratitude, hold that love, and give yourself the space and the capacity to feel it.
[00:22:43] Nicky: I don’t think I was ever letting myself do that. Well, I wasn’t ever letting myself do that, um, because I didn’t have the evidence. I was just making it up. I, how could I possibly feel abundant when I, the money’s not in the bank account, or, but that’s just all rubbish. Like, because I have [00:23:00] so I am so full of love.
[00:23:03] Nicky: That’s abundance. Gratitude is a choice. It’s a practice. You can create those emotions right now because. We, because we’ve got that amazing skill as humans. So that to me was, it wasn’t really a visualization, it’s more of a practicing feeling. I.
[00:23:22] Jamie: your business and with money as well? Yeah.
[00:23:27] Nicky: Yeah, so what I then started doing is every I, I would love to say I do it every day. It’s not quite every day, but it’s definitely more days than it’s not. I now will sit down, I’ll close my eyes, I take a double, it isn’t meditation practice, isn’t it? And I allow myself to connect to source. So for me, that looks like this really.
[00:23:49] Nicky: Warm, beautiful golden light that just kind of beams down onto my head and it soaks down through my body and then I can [00:24:00] feel, I can even feel the vibrations in my palms now, and it that, that these beautiful wispy kind of golden yellow ribbon ribbons go out into the universe. They just float. And I’m just like, that’s my visualization.
[00:24:14] Nicky: And I imagine myself in front of thousands of people
[00:24:18] Jamie: Yep.
[00:24:18] Nicky: on stage, in front of thousands of people. I imagine myself in workshops, which is now happening, and I imagine six K profit. That’s just so normal. So normal. And then the most random shit happens.
[00:24:38] Nicky: The weirdest, one of the weirdest things was a couple years ago, this person was talking to me about this really amazing local business owner. They started her own business. I was like, I would love to coach her. I would love to coach her. And I never said anything to anybody. And then in, in January, I had an email from someone I just met saying, I really wanna introduce you to my [00:25:00] friend.
[00:25:00] Nicky: I really think that she, she would love to learn about your coaching. And it was this woman. I’m like, what is happening? Like, what
[00:25:09] Jamie: yes.
[00:25:09] Nicky: happens?
[00:25:11] Jamie: Right. The synchronicities come in and that’s why we don’t have to get so stuck on the how, because it aligns when you’re in the
[00:25:19] Nicky: Yes,
[00:25:19] Jamie: of it, and I know it’s totally like. mind cannot totally understand how this all works, but it’s so true. And your evidence of that, of when you let yourself start feeling those emotions before you have the evidence, the evidence starts showing up.
[00:25:35] Jamie: But we get so lost and
[00:25:37] Nicky: yes.
[00:25:38] Jamie: that way till I have the money. I can’t feel that way till I have the client, but. It’s actually we have to reverse engineer the process and learn how to feel that way now,
[00:25:47] Nicky: Yeah,
[00:25:47] Jamie: attracts it all. It’s wild. Like you said, the
[00:25:49] Nicky: yeah,
[00:25:50] Jamie: just starts happening.
[00:25:51] Nicky: yeah.
[00:25:55] Jamie: So cool.
[00:25:56] Nicky: It feels random and I think it’s going back to [00:26:00] like the future self. We had a number of conversations, didn’t we? Around. Okay. How does your future self manage money? Does she spend things she doesn’t have? Is she saving? Like, and I realized as well that I had to start acting like her. So I, that’s what I start, that’s what I practice now.
[00:26:17] Nicky: I’m like, hang on a minute. What does my a hundred k self, how does she behave with money? And then that’s how I choose to behave. Um,
[00:26:26] Jamie: And
[00:26:27] Nicky: and that’s, that’s another shift.
[00:26:30] Jamie: because I think a lot of people have the misconception that when you say, what would my a hundred K self do? Well, my a hundred KK self is making eight KA month. So they spend on this and that and this, I. You wanna share the reframe through the coaching that we did, that you had about what that actually means Instead of like, oh, I’m gonna spend, my future self doesn’t care about like my future self makes so much money, I just spend it or I just invested.
[00:26:56] Jamie: Right? Like I remember you
[00:26:58] Nicky: Yeah.
[00:26:59] Jamie: and it was like a [00:27:00] big, huge emotional maturity that you stepped into around your business and money.
[00:27:05] Nicky: Yes.
[00:27:06] Jamie: What’s the difference that you see now of what do
[00:27:08] Nicky: Yeah.
[00:27:09] Jamie: I act from as my future self?
[00:27:13] Nicky: Well now, now I find myself saying, oh, that’s an interesting course that’s going in my budget for next year. I would never do. I was like, do I have the money? Yeah. Okay, let’s go. I’m like, no, no, no. That’s gonna go into 2026 budget, and if I still wanna do it in 2026, I’ll do it in 2026. So that’s, that’s been a huge shift.
[00:27:36] Nicky: I just decided I wasn’t going to, actually, there was a number of decisions I made. I wasn’t going to, um. I wasn’t gonna invest in my brain anymore. I got to the point where I was like, no, I know enough. I’ve had enough coaching, I know how to, I have to actually go out and do, do it now. So, um, and, and I know exactly what I need to do.
[00:27:59] Nicky: I’ve got [00:28:00] the skills, I’ve got the foundation. Now it’s time to go out and do it. So like tomorrow, for example, I’m popping into two businesses in Bristol managed offices. Um. And I’m really looking forward to going to them and saying, Hey, do you want a presentation about emotional management? And, and I’m so excited to go and do that because there’s no grassiness.
[00:28:22] Nicky: There’s no neediness attached to it. Whereas I was always selling and making offers from this real needy graspy.
[00:28:29] Jamie: Yeah,
[00:28:30] Nicky: Place that felt shit. And so now I’m like, oh, that’d be fun to do. Let’s go and do it if it doesn’t happen. Okay, well that’s, that wasn’t the universe’s plan. And it spills just so much, so much nicer.
[00:28:43] Jamie: in the universe now that you didn’t have.
[00:28:47] Nicky: Yeah. I can’t, I can’t argue with it anymore like so. So the reason why we ended up doing this podcast was because February [00:29:00] ended up to be, uh, it wasn’t six K, it was actually a seven K profit month, and I. I did not do nothing. I, but it felt like I did nothing. Nothing towards making, I did nothing different towards making that happen.
[00:29:17] Nicky: So I really feel like now when my brain still wants to go, yeah, but it’s not gonna happen again. Yeah. But you know, and stepping into that self doubt, I’m like, yeah, but I didn’t do anything for that month, so I don’t need to do anything for this month. I just need to. Surrender, visualize love and trust and, and already it looks like this month is probably gonna be similar.
[00:29:44] Nicky: I’ve got one person signed up already and I’ve got two people waiting to come back to me. So I, and I’ve never been in that position, so I’m like, and, and I haven’t, I don’t feel like I’ve done anything different other than [00:30:00] release trust, and
[00:30:01] Jamie: action in your business?
[00:30:02] Nicky: I do. Yeah, I mean, I’m still doing my podcast. I’m still posting, I’m still doing networking.
[00:30:10] Jamie: Yeah.
[00:30:11] Nicky: Such a different energy and it’s really enjoyable.
[00:30:14] Jamie: not the attachment and the neediness. It’s so, different that it almost feels like I’m not taking action because
[00:30:22] Nicky: Yeah,
[00:30:22] Jamie: this from so many people. They’re like, I’m not
[00:30:24] Nicky: yeah.
[00:30:25] Jamie: anything anymore. I’m like, well, you’re doing the same thing.
[00:30:28] Jamie: You’re still taking action. It just feels completely, completely
[00:30:31] Nicky: Yeah.
[00:30:33] Jamie: Right?
[00:30:34] Nicky: Yeah, so like the last three clients I’ve signed, four clients I’ve signed, I haven’t even really had a consult. We’ve just, we’ve literally just had a conversation
[00:30:43] Jamie: Yeah,
[00:30:44] Nicky: like, oh my gosh, it’s can be so, and I never understood. I never understood when people went. It was so much fun. I made this money and it was so, and I’m like, how, how, how, how do you make it fun?
[00:30:59] Nicky: Because [00:31:00] what I’m doing is not fun. I didn’t, I just didn’t get it. But because all of this random shit was happening, I’m like, this is so much fun. I’m like, okay,
[00:31:11] Jamie: your
[00:31:11] Nicky: I get it.
[00:31:12] Jamie: you
[00:31:13] Nicky: I get it.
[00:31:14] Jamie: realized that you could deeply trust the universe and you decided to stop arguing with it? What did you think it took to make money or to grow your business?
[00:31:27] Nicky: It took hard work, lots of hours. It took me grind, like, I dunno how to articulate it, grinding and. Almost a manipulation around trying to sell. And it just felt rubbish. I mean, I’m, we’re not that type of people. We don’t wanna manipulate anybody at an elephant. And so, but I really felt it had to be hard.
[00:31:57] Nicky: So one of the things, I still practice on a nightly [00:32:00] basis just before I go to bed. I’m rubbing my nails because I always put cuticle cream on my nails. And as I’m rubbing it in, now, I forgive myself for buying into the misbelief that making money is hard. Whereas actually my soulful truth is it’s really easy.
[00:32:16] Nicky: It’s so easy. And then I forgive myself for believing I wasn’t valuable. That’s not true. I’m incredibly valuable to the right person or the right team. And then the other one that I’ve just added recently is I forgive myself for buying into, this is my parents’ belief that I shouldn’t charge for my services.
[00:32:36] Nicky: I, that’s just. That’s just bollocks because when I make money, I can hire my cleaner and I can give to my charities and I can give so much more into the world. And I love being part of that. That kind of EE, um, not e e-commerce, not e-commerce. Um, what’s the word? Yeah, I just love [00:33:00] being part of that. If I earn money, I can spend money, which means someone else earns money so they can spend money, and I love being part of that.
[00:33:07] Nicky: I love being part of that.
[00:33:12] Nicky: I know now, that’s not to say that I don’t then think, oh my God, it’s never gonna, I mean, you were coached me on this last week. It’s never gonna happen again. But now I’m able to sit and really believe. Well, you know, we didn’t do anything last month different, so I don’t need to do anything different this month.
[00:33:29] Nicky: I just need to tap into my energy and connect with source and just do everything from love.
[00:33:36] Jamie: of you? That does doubt because you do trust the universe and you still have human, primitive brain that shows up. Right. And I know shows up.
[00:33:46] Nicky: Yeah.
[00:33:46] Jamie: different situations. It depends. If I’m more tired, depending on the time of the
[00:33:51] Nicky: Yeah.
[00:33:51] Jamie: mine gets stronger. How do you manage that part of
[00:33:54] Nicky: Yeah.
[00:33:54] Jamie: does say things that pops into your mind?
[00:33:57] Jamie: Well, what if we never do it again? What if that was a fluke? What if [00:34:00] that was a one time thing? What if it can’t be easy again? How do you work with that?
[00:34:03] Nicky: yeah, yeah. And well, this is what I teach my clients as well, right? So I always get my clients to name that primitive part of their brain. So mine’s called Sue. I got that idea from the mindset book by Dr. Carol Dweck. Have you read? Yeah. And so I am now, I feel like I’ve really got this in. I’ve, I’ve learned and practiced having just that internal dialogue.
[00:34:29] Nicky: So it kind of literally sounds like now, yeah. Sue, I, I get it. I hear you. You really think we’re not gonna make any money. I get it. I get it, but you just might not be true. So I was doing this the other day. I’d had, um, someone had said to me, oh yeah, I’m really interested in coaching. We’d, we’d had the non-cost consult because we had a really two consult night and she said, oh, I’ll come back to you.
[00:34:52] Nicky: And then an email, a couple of days later, an email popped in and my brain instantly went to, oh, she’s not gonna sign up. It’s [00:35:00] gonna be too expensive. It’s not the right time, yada yada yada. And I just stopped and I just. Internally. I’m like, what if that wasn’t true? I’m like, oh, okay. And then I was quite curious like, why do you think that’s gonna be the response?
[00:35:16] Nicky: And it was like, well, I’m not good and I all that. And I’m like, oh, interesting, interesting. Okay. Nice to know.
[00:35:22] Jamie: Yeah.
[00:35:23] Nicky: But, or, and completely the opposite could happen. And so once I kind of balanced myself out and calmed that part of me down, I opened the email and it was, I’ve just seen you frequently asked questions.
[00:35:37] Nicky: I can’t wait to start. It’s a big yes. When, when can I get going? And I’m like, see,
[00:35:49] Nicky: I don’t, I don’t do anymore, is I don’t. Talk to myself in a judgmental tone. I [00:36:00] decided that I just don’t talk to myself. ’cause I could be my biggest bitch. Biggest bitch. You are pathetic. You are useless. Why would anyone wanna coach with you, Nicky C you are, you are not good enough. And it was always in a really derogatory, belittling tone, and I just decided I’m not gonna do that anymore.
[00:36:20] Nicky: And, and that takes learning. So my brain wants to go there. I’m like, no, no, no, no, no. We are learning how not to do that. So I’ve really cultivated this relationship with my primal brain where it’s not, I don’t judge it anymore. I don’t shame it anymore. Um, I. And so then that allows me to, so those days, which I had about six weeks ago, just before, well just at the end of January actually, I had about a week, very significant, one day in especially where I just felt so much shame, so much fear, so much self doubt.[00:37:00]
[00:37:00] Nicky: I just had to spend the day going, I’m safe to feel this emotion. I’m safe. Like nothing’s gone wrong. My brain was giving me all the negative stories. I’m like, that might not be true. I hear you, but it might not be true. Yeah, I hear you. We might not have any money, but that might not be true and, and I’ve learned to say that with such compassion and such.
[00:37:20] Nicky: Kindness to myself that then when I am experiencing negative emotions now, I don’t make it mean that something’s gone wrong. I’m just like, no, I’m, I’m safe. I’m safe to experience this emotion, and then sure enough, something happens. That wasn’t what my brain thought was gonna happen anyway. So it’s, it’s incredible.
[00:37:39] Nicky: It’s incredible to make that shift with that internal voice because it’s gonna, it’s gonna go to negative, it’s what it’s designed to do.
[00:37:47] Jamie: you relate to that matters. Right. Yeah, a hundred percent. That’s
[00:37:53] Nicky: Yes. Yeah.
[00:37:54] Jamie: So if you could give any advice to listeners who are in a place where [00:38:00] they’re still thinking, how could you possibly make money with ease? How, how could it possibly be fun? I have been grinding, I have been doing all the things, and it’s just not working.
[00:38:11] Jamie: And I’ve been manifesting, but it’s not working either. Right. Or maybe they’re just.
[00:38:17] Nicky: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:38:20] Jamie: advice would you have for them? Because you held that space and you held that belief for amount of time. witnessed it. You, you held that belief like, I know I’m supposed to do this, even though your brain had doubts and all of that. Any advice you would give to that
[00:38:41] Nicky: Mm.
[00:38:42] Jamie: a little bit closer to where
[00:38:44] Nicky: Yeah.
[00:38:45] Jamie: your journey?
[00:38:48] Nicky: Yeah. Don’t stop. Don’t stop because. You’ve got so much light to give the world, the world needs you [00:39:00] with your voice, exactly how you say things. The world needs that and, and I, Jamie, I really think that it’s those tough times that make us stronger. Like we are in England now. All the spring bulbs are coming up and it just amazes me how there’s nothing under the surface and it’s been a harsh winter frost, uh, like the, I was looking at some bulbs in my mom and dad’s garden that look like a building site and these beautiful daffodils have come up through it.
[00:39:35] Nicky: I’m like, that’s what I think it means to be an entrepreneur being go going through those tough times. It’s not supposed to be easy because that’s what makes you. Stronger. That’s what makes you tougher, so that when you come up into the sunlight, you have a beautiful flower to show the world. It’s, it’s part of the process and it feels so shit when you are in it.
[00:39:57] Nicky: ’cause it feels like it’s never gonna end. [00:40:00] But as long as you, as long as you, your reason why is powerful enough and passionate enough, just don’t stop. Just don’t stop.
[00:40:09] Jamie: good. I want listeners to know where they can find you and follow you. And I just wanna put a little plug out there so I don’t always get to see my clients actually cope. Right, because I’m always coaching y’all, so I don’t actually get to see most people in their element coaching.
[00:40:28] Jamie: I witnessed Nicky peer coaching at the retreat, and I just have to say, Nicky, you were such a gifted coach, and so if anybody is looking for a ninja coach, a one-on-one coach to really support them, and especially if you resonate with her story, she’s someone who I can wholeheartedly say has. Then through the journey, like the whole manifestation process, the ups and downs, and being able to hold space for [00:41:00] belief and self-doubt and all of the things. And so if you feel called to have a one-on-one coach, I would 100% recommend Nicky. And I don’t say that often ’cause I don’t get to see many people coach.
[00:41:14] Jamie: But I have to say, you’re brilliant. You are. Brilliant. So insightful. So
[00:41:20] Nicky: Thank you.
[00:41:21] Jamie: So where can people find you?
[00:41:25] Nicky: Yes, I’ll tell you that in just a second. ’cause what just popped into my mind is one of the beliefs that I’ve been practicing, as you will probably remember, is that I’m a fucking good coach. And so as I go off to bed at night, as I’m going off to sleep, that’s what I’m telling myself. That’s what I’m telling myself.
[00:41:40] Nicky: And I really do feel like now that for the right person, if someone does like my energy, I am a really fucking good coach. But it’s so, so lovely. Thank you so much. I receive your compliment because that’s huge.
[00:41:53] Jamie: you’re gonna get right to it if you like someone direct. No bullshit. Coach Nicky, she has the most [00:42:00] and she will wear pink and look like the sweet thing ever. But she will tell you how it is.
[00:42:09] Nicky: I almost put a blue top on. I’m like, I can’t wear blue. I’ve gotta wear pink. I’m very pink. So yes, you can find me. I would say the best place probably is my podcast, the Working Ones podcast from Nicki Be, if you prefer watching, that’s all on YouTube. Um, but Instagram,
[00:42:26] Jamie: Okay.
[00:42:26] Nicky: LinkedIn, I do love LinkedIn. Um, they would be the best patients to, to come and find me.
[00:42:31] Nicky: We can be friends. I’d love to have a chat.
[00:42:35] Jamie: We’ll put all that in the show notes too. So if you wanna find Nicky’s info, we’ll have it in the show notes. Thank.
