Listen "8. Nikki's Journey: Embracing change"
Episode Synopsis
Hi I'm Krutika, and this is my podcast Journeys with Krutika. Today’s conversation is with Nikki.
Nikki is a chartered accountant, a chartered tax expert, a qualified fitness instructor, mum to a toddler and now a business owner. Wow, those are quite the achievements!
However, having worked her way up the corporate ladder at one of the big 4 accountancy practices, the decision to leave that all behind to focus on something that truly brings her joy, purpose and flexibility is the journey she's embarking on now.
From keeping a diary since 1998, recognising the power in reflection and introspection, Nikki is embracing curiosity and finding the excitement in starting over.
There's so much to commend here with Nikki's approach to learning and life, and for anyone considering making a change this conversation is for you.
