This solo cast was such a joy to record, because I am ending 2025 with a fire in my chest about what actually shapes our lives. I dive into the truth that your habits are profiling you every single day and that discipline is really about having an identity so clear you stop negotiating with your feelings. I talk about timelines, personal responsibility, the habits I have made non negotiable and the real shifts that happened when I stopped treating my future self like a stranger.I break down the practices that have changed my body, my mindset and my nervous system this year, from lifting heavy to creatine to peptides to sleep optimization to meditation to walking and, yes, fun. I share how these choices have rewired my confidence, sharpened my intuition and helped me keep the gains I have worked so hard for. This episode is equal parts science, spirituality and loving kick in the ass, because you are far more in control than you think. The life you want is built from the habits you keep.Highlights: (01:15) The truth about timelines and why my habits were deciding my future (04:30) The identity shift that makes discipline easier than feelings (06:40) Weightlifting, confidence and the moment I realized my body had changed (10:19) Creatine, peptides and the longevity practices I swear by (12:55) Sleep, meditation and the seven minute gratitude rule (15:11) Why walking, movement and fun have become my secret sauceQualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole’s on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole’s bestselling children’s book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.

Hey y’all.This solo episode came straight from my heart and a little bit from my nerves, because every time I hit record alone, I wonder if I actually know what I am doing. But as we approach the end of 2025, one theme keeps shouting at me from every angle. We are living through an apocalypse of average, and it is time to wake up.I talk about the ways complacency sneaks into our lives, how autopilot becomes our default and why it is a tragedy to treat yourself like someone ordinary when you are anything but.I share the ideas and moments that cracked me open this year, including something Kathy Heller said that shook me to my core. You are a piece of the master. You are a masterpiece. I explore how miracles show up when our nervous system is regulated, how movement and meditation unlock clarity and why repeating the same tired stories keeps us stuck.This episode is a call to stop negotiating for scraps, stop settling for leftovers and start choosing the path that feels brave, aligned and alive.Highlights:(01:10) Why the end of 2025 pushed me to question complacency(03:22) The shift that happens when you realise you were never meant to be average(05:55) The Kathy Heller quote that cracked me wide open(08:48) How meditation and nervous system work prepare you for miracles(10:58) Why repeating old stories keeps you stuck in patterns(12:40) One choice you can make today to break the cycle of averageQualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole’s on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole’s bestselling children’s book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.

Y’all, this one lit me up. Talking with Chris felt like having someone finally hand me the manual for relationships that we all swear should exist, but no one ever gives us. He has this wildly grounded way of explaining attachment, self regulation, and emotional safety that makes you stop and go - Oh wait, that’s me. And that’s my ex. And that’s the pattern I swear I’m not repeating anymore.This episode is honest, eye opening, and surprisingly comforting. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep attracting the same type, or why certain dynamics feel so familiar, Chris breaks it all down in a way that just hits. I left this conversation feeling clearer, lighter, and honestly a little called out in the best possible way.Highlights:(03:12) The four attachment styles(12:45) Why 60 percent of healthy relationships come from self regulation(22:18) The first big non negotiable emotional safety and why it matters(33:02) Why anxious and avoidant types keep finding each other(45:10) A simple way to tell the difference between intuition and anxiety(55:41) How secure people rebound fasterFind out more about Chris: Instagram: @evolvedbychrisQualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole’s on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole’s bestselling children’s book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.

Every time Mary comes on the show, something unhinged happens in the best possible way. This conversation is equal parts therapy session, comedy hour, and spiritual wake up call. Mary showed up with her signature mix of tender truth telling and laugh till you snort humor, and somehow managed to coach me in real time about parenting, grounding myself, and why conscious pauses are basically my new religion.Her new book, Parenting a Spicy One, is exactly what every overwhelmed parent needs. It is honest, compassionate, and wildly practical. After this episode, you will never look at your own reactions or your kid's meltdowns the same way again. Truly one of my favorites to date.Highlights:(01:48) Why this episode went off the rails in the most glorious way(07:55) What a spicy kid actually is and how to know if you are raising one(17:42) The conscious pause that keeps you from turning into Mommy Monster(28:10) My own blow up moment and Mary's guidance on doing a real repair(42:03) How spicy kids become incredible adults who refuse to be anyone but themselves(53:27) The ongoing battle of the iPhone request and why curiosity beats controlFind out more about Mary Van Geffen: WebsiteInstagram: @maryvangeffenParenting ClassesJoin the waitlist or register for MOSO Self-Paced to get started today Qualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole’s on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole’s bestselling children’s book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.

Y all, this conversation lit me up. Dr Ayat Mekki is one of those women who speaks and you instantly feel your whole body soften, straighten up, and lean in. She shares so much wisdom on emotional healing, subconscious patterns, and manifesting in a way that feels like someone finally turned the lights on. Talking to her reminded me that we all have these old stories running in the background, and the second we see them clearly, things start shifting fast.We also got into why chaos can feel familiar, why peace can feel almost too quiet, and how we repeat the same relationship patterns until we learn what we are meant to learn. I felt seen, called in, and weirdly comforted. I think you will too.Highlights:(01:45) Medical doctor to subconscious healer(06:12) The real meaning of manifestation and why it is not about wishful thinking(14:40) Clues that childhood wounds might be steering the show(23:01) When peace feels uncomfortable and why your nervous system reacts that way(34:10) What generational patterns look like and how healing affects seven future generations(47:15) The biggest lesson Dr Ayat took away from hosting her retreatFind out more about Dr. Ayat Mekki:Website LinkedInInstagram: @dr.ayat.mekkiQualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole’s on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole’s bestselling children’s book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.
