Soul Led Living Podcast with Nikki Novo

You can read the books, take the workshops, and sit and meditate on a mountain if you want to, but spirituality isn’t always an experience you consume when you’re in the mood. The integration from your spiritual education can – and should – be integrated into real-life circumstances and used to confront even the most everyday triggers. In this episode, I reflect on intuitive downloads, my own experience putting this work into practice for our move to Asheville, North Carolina, and the different ways I’ve leaned into the discomfort and pushed through obstacles to manifest this next chapter in my life. What we cover:Intuition in practice Divine intervention and having faith in the universeHealing the money wound Putting our house up for sale during Mercury RetrogradeStepping into the unknownBirthing a project To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit NikkiNovo.comResources:Follow Nikki on InstagramFollow the Soul Collective InstagramMy free community: Soul CollectiveDevelop your intuition with my courses: Soul AcademySoul Led is a production of Crate Media

Violet Santana opens up about the process of becoming an intuitive and how the discovery of her supernatural gifts has imbued another layer of meaning to her practice as a clinical nutritionist & hormone expert. Violet’s turbulent health journey, suffering from PCOS, and decade-long experience in the “toxic” beauty industry heightened her understanding of her physical body. Still, it took a course with Soul Academy to connect to her spiritual body and unlock the witch wounds from past lives.  Her body scans detect stress, illness triggers, and sense spirit babies, so she’s able to detox the intangible, spiritual blocks as well as healing the physical body.  We discuss how she fuses her spiritual tools with her medical skill set, birthing spirit babies onto the physical plain, and how to protect the body as a clean vessel for channeling – even when we want to reach for that glass of red wine with our girlfriends.  What we cover:Healing PCOS Body scans and energetic readings Past life healing The witch woundSpirit babies, conceiving, and parenting Treating your body as a vessel To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit NikkiNovo.comResources:Book a session with Violet Violet’s Website: violetsantana.comFollow Violet on InstagramFollow Nikki on InstagramFollow the Soul Collective InstagramMy free community: Soul CollectiveDevelop your intuition with my courses: Soul AcademySoul Led is a production of Crate Media

Aaron Abke helps people crack the code of unity consciousness and spiritual awakening by liberating our sense of self from the ego shell we've created (and adhere to daily). Once you step outside of the body and mental matrix, you can see life for what it is: a dream within a dream.It sounds messy, mystical, and out-there, but Aaron miraculously managed to synthesize these complex philosophies (found in texts such as "A Course in Miracles" and "The Law of One") in the 3D realm. We're huge fans of his work in this community and we love how he interprets the beliefs of Ra into digestible chunks we can all sit with. In this episode, Aaron shares how he was called to expand on his Christian roots into true unity consciousness, and we explore how the ego wrestles with the truth of our existence and peace within ourselves. What we cover:Life as a worship pastor and leaving the church The law of one and dual-activated bodies Breaking down the egoLiving in a dream and dealing with everyday routinesSpiritual awakening in partnershipTo learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit NikkiNovo.comResources:Master Your Mind Masterclass: https://bit.ly/MasterYourMindNowLiving The Course: https://www.livingthecourse.comFollow Aaron on Instagram Watch Aaron on YouTubeFollow Nikki on InstagramFollow the Soul Collective InstagramMy free community: Soul CollectiveDevelop your intuition with my courses: Soul AcademySoul Led is a production of Crate Media

This episode is rich with information on how ancestral healing departs from traditional therapy and why healing the root chakra unlocks your potential in all tangible areas of your life: from career and friendships to money and dating. Soul mentors, Mona Desai and Rachel Lyle, share how they were called to work with lineage healing. We reveal the process of cutting the cord on inherited belief systems, from healing the mother wound to reconciling with the witch within.Knocking on the door to your past can bring up a lot of intense emotions, but Mona and Rachel are living proof that lifting the veil can be a truly cathartic experience that sets you free. What we cover:Lineage healing and exploring our purpose Traditional therapy and spiritual healingFamily, culture, and identity Working on the root chakraHealing the mother/father woundTo learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit NikkiNovo.comResources:Book a reading with Mona Desai Book a healing with Rachel LyleFollow Mona on Instagram Follow Rachel on Instagram Follow Nikki on InstagramFollow the Soul Collective InstagramMy free community: Soul CollectiveDevelop your intuition with my courses: Soul AcademySoul Led is a production of Crate Media

Senior soul mentor and my beautiful friend, Angelica Ray, shares how she tapped into her intuitive gifts after years working in jobs that were out of her true alignment. Taking lessons from her stints in banking and teaching, Angelica followed the breadcrumbs that led her home: right here as an intuitive, healer, and coach. We also reflect on how we grew into our roles as spiritual entrepreneurs without following the wellness rubric, the emotional ups and downs of female friendships from childhood to adulthood, and the complex power dynamics between healer and client. What we cover:Angelica’s intuitive gifts and the transformative power of breathwork.How she started working in the spiritual fieldHow her readings have evolvedEgo in the healing world Falling out of alignment with friends Fate, manifestation, and free-willEclipse season and trusting the path aheadChallenging the traditional spirituality aestheticTo learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit NikkiNovo.comResources:Book a reading with Angelica Angelica’s website: angelicaray.comFollow Angelica on Instagram Follow Nikki on InstagramFollow the Soul Collective InstagramMy free community: Soul CollectiveDevelop your intuition with my courses: Soul AcademySoul Led is a production of Crate Media

Natalia was the best kind of client, the kind that turns into an amazing friend. An intuitive, healer, and master-manifester, she’s the founder of Divina Co., bringing her intuitive gifts to those who need them. I wanted to tap into her wisdom for the sake of you, my listeners!

We all crave a little purpose in our lives. It’s a big deal. We search for it from a young age, but our purpose continues to grow and evolve as we do. It can look like we have everything in life from the outside, but if we don’t have that one piece – if we don’t feel like we’re fulfilling our purpose – we feel empty inside.My dear friend, my right hand, and my everything, Kat, joins me to talk “purpose”. She’s the perfect person for this. She’s an intuitive and certified life coach with passion for finding people’s life purpose. During her readings, she spots the energies that are leading you off your life’s path and works to guide you back on track. She brings fantastic energy to her work.At the end of our chat, I go over what purpose is to me, where you can go to find yours, and the types of purpose I find in most people.What we cover:Why Kat became obsessed with life purposeHonoring the seasons of your lifeKeeping your career separate from your purposeWays to find your purposeThe three types of purpose people arrive withTo learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit NikkiNovo.comResources:Book a reading with KatFollow Nikki on InstagramFollow the Soul Collective InstagramMy free community: Soul CollectiveDevelop your intuition with my courses: Soul AcademySoul Led is a production of Crate Media

She tells us how she became known as “the crazy girl with the vision boards” among her friends, but how those vision boards helped guide her in her many achievements. Eventually, they pushed her to build a career in the world of fashion and beauty and she realized she could use her platform as a springboard to talk to people about the big questions that really matter.She also talks about how the tragic loss of her boyfriend led to her greatest spiritual awakening and what that can teach us about how to view the world.

And this friend reminded her that she was awesome, but had a habit of wanting to be validated by outside sources — aka, a guy. Ultimately, Veronica armed herself with tools to kick the habit of down playing her worth. She found herself a partner who valued her, and then decided to teach other women how to do the same. These days, Veronica is a love-life coach and a dating podcaster helping women everywhere find love in feely kinda way.

Changing our beliefs in order to get to where we want, isn't a new concept.

Have you ever dated someone and thought he or she was the answer to your prayers? Where it all just seemed so perfect, and you really felt heard by the Universe. It felt like…This is it. That happened to me once while I was dating, and nope the guy didn’t turn out to be my now-husband. Shocker?And for someone who really depends on her intuition, thinking this guy was “the one” only to find out later that I was wrong, was a real blow to the ego. Not to mention, the Universe received a few angry letters from me, as well. Here’s the truth: I was seeing this relationship as an answer to my current life’s prayer and not my future life’s prayer. In today’s podcast episode, I share that story with you, so you can see where I went wrong with my own intuition, in hopes that you understand yours a little bit more. Ready? Because you’re about to have a meeting with your soul today. Listen in on today’s episode of The Final Swipe.

Today is our wedding anniversary. Eight years! I can't believe it. For a while there, I really never thought I would have a relationship past two years. Here I am, all grown up!In today's episode, I wanted to share with you my story of how I met my husband. How we came together. What worked. What didn't work. I know it's kind of an old story, but love is a classic story, right? I wanted to share because I think you might find a few nuggets of wisdom that will help you along your path. Plus, aren't we at the stage by now, where you should know my love story?Enjoy! And send me any thoughts or questions.

This is your year for love, right? But haven’t you said that before? Isn’t it super scary to think that you’re in the same place all over again?I got you, my friend. In this episode of The Final Swipe, I discuss your 2020 plan. This is how this year is going to be different. It’s a mix of honesty, inspired action, and mindset. Get your notes ready! Write down what comes up as we talk. 

Why do some people from our past just feel sticky? Energetic cords, my friend. I see these often on people. They look like little ropes coming from one person to the other.Sometimes, we're the person holding on, and sometimes they're holding on. Who care who is the doing the holding. What's important is that we release them. If we don't, they become littler energy leaks in our aura. Don't be afraid to let go of people. It doesn't mean we'll never see them again. This healing just helps us not feel attached to them. We no longer need their validation or love to be feel whole. We are calling back all our energy to ourselves, so we can be our most powerful self. Warning, do this practice when not driving. And let me know how it goes!

When we think "boundaries" we tend to think about setting them for people we don't really like. Or for people who we have to keep at an arms length. We rarely think of setting boundaries for people we do like. In this episode, author and master coach Nancy Levin schools us on the magic of boundaries, and how they make us look sexy while dating. She also shares her story of being in a controlling relationship, how she was able to get out, heal, and move forward. So many of us can see ourselves in her story, so it's one to listen to. I also have a funny situation in the recording, where I'm trying to please Nancy, while she's teaching us about how not to please others. It's funny, and very eye-opening. Get ready to open your heart by expanding it towards yourself first. Give this episode a listen and let me know your thoughts.

The reason so many of us hate dating is because many times it feels very far from romantic. The swiping, meeting strangers... it can all feel really transactional.

We all love to hear stories of how couples meet. For one, it gives us hope.But also, because we feel like we're listening to a magical story that actually occurred. It's like a real-life romantic comedy.Finding love seems like magic, because it often feels like we have no say in the matter. We think it happens by chance, by luck, by fate.And it doesn't help that most people will tell you these crazy stories of how they met their partner by chance. They're beautiful stories, but they also feel really disempowering.I recommend you ask someone who has actually spent the time to analyze what brought them to find their partner.You guys, it does not happen out of pure magic. Anyone who has found love, has found it because there was energy and focus behind that desire. Most people don't like to admit that they were "looking for love," but they were.I know I was on a mission to find love every time I found it. My clients who are successful in dating have all put an energy behind dating that eliminates fear. They have strategy!In today's episode, I chat with my friend and love expert, Coach Cass, who agrees with me — finding love isn't magic!She shares with us some tips and tricks that have worked for so many of her clients, which really help to take the mystery out of dating.If you're ready to eliminate that fear and doubt surrounded around your love life, this episode is for you.Resources:Coach Cass' Site: https://inspiremany.com/Cass’ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inspiremany/ The Love Deck: https://zq255.infusionsoft.app/app/storeFront/showProductDetail?productId=280Updates:Join our free Facebook group The Final Swipe Podcast group to connect with Nikki and other like-minded daters Nikki will be teaching live in Miami alongside her soul sisters Krista and Lindsey of Almost 30.

Alright, so manifesting is all the rage, right? You’ve studied up on it, made the lists, closed your eyes, and still nothing.There’s even people out there that will tell you to demand from the Universe. Expect the Universe to deliver! And yet…. nada.What’s going on? Why isn't it working?Well, my friend, let me tell you about the one step you may be missing. The part where you take inspired action!Yeah, my friend, you’re going to need some dates to manifest that relationship.Yes lady, you’re going to have go out to places where you don’t just huddle around your friends who you’ve known since grade school.In other words, you have to open up funnels in order for the Universe to deliver your package.In this episode of The Final Swipe, I teach you what these funnels are and how to create them. I also teach how to not be in constant push or controlling mode. That’s for my recovering control freaks. Love you, guys!Let’s help the Universe out, yo.

Before every reading I do, I meditate. I focus on the person’s energy like a nosey mom going through her child’s drawers. I’m looking for what’s working, what trauma remains, what fears exist, and what future is set in place.Everyone is different, and there’s a ton of variation in people’s energy, but one thing I see 9 out of 10 times is a little fence around the heart. Some look like a thin curtain and others look like a full-on fortress.I see it so often because most of us want to protect our hearts. We’re afraid of what might happen if we allow anyone to get too close. We’re scared of what would happen if we let someone in who might hurt us later. Or, we may have suffered deep hurt in the past, causing us to close up shop.Funny enough, this doesn’t affect our ability to be a good person. What it does get in the way of is leading a heart-centered life.The heart chakra is the center chakra, because it’s our center. It’s the closest connection to our essence. When we live from this place, we connect more, experience more, love more.Sounds pretty amazing, right? But how are we supposed to knock down that damn wall?!On today’s episode of The Final Swipe, we speak to heart wall expert Nick K. Who get this guys, lives in Loveland, Colorado. I mean, talk about living your purpose.Nick was so kind to explain what the wall is, how we can work to release it, and what happens when we do.

The reason we look for soul mates is because we're looking for a feeling.We're looking for a feeling of depth and intimacy.There's a misconception that intimacy and depth happens with some people and doesn't with others.When in fact, WE create the space for that. We can either make an environment that doesn't allow for depth or we can make one that does.In today's episode, I'm going to teach you how to make depth in a relationship. And spoiler alert: It has nothing to do with talking your way to closeness. As women, that's are go-to!In this episode, learn how to:Create depth and connection in dating and relationshipsHow to make space for someone to show upHow to spot people who are not able to create depth — or those who are not readyI'm excited for this one! Give it a listen.xo,Nikki

I know, I know. You want to meet people organically and in person, because that is how you get a better read on people. I get it! But it's 2019, and dating apps are a thing. So let's embrace it, rather than romanticize our old flip phones.Today on the pod, I offer three steps to help you get a read on those online profiles. Here they are:1. Recognize your judgementsIt's important just to note that the first few seconds of looking at someone's profile, you're coming from your judgement. Based off your past experiences, you're going to decide who this person is. Don't judge your judgements, lol! Let them come through, and let them past. And then give the profile a second look.2. Connect to your heartAs you give that second look, bring your attention to your heart center. See if you can connect to that part of you rather than your mind.3. Align with you courageLastly, once you feel from your heart and receive some sort of knowing, you may quickly fall into fear again. Ask yourself, "What would I do if I was coming from a place of courage," and then make your move.If you're liking this info, make sure to listen to the full episode where I give a lot more detail. Enjoy!

Today we go over a common question I receive often: How do I manifest, but not feel obsessive over calling in a partner?Such a good question!Here are my tips. I have three for you:1. When manifesting is not working, it's because we're being called to a journey of letting goIt's important to understand that manifesting is natural. We're doing it all the time. We want something, and within little time, it shows up. If manifesting is not working, it's because we're being called to walk a journey of letting go — of releasing all the baggage and false beliefs so that our energy is clean and light.2. Focus on the feelingWhat makes us feel obsessive is that we're focused on the union, on the partner, on the person. When in fact, we want to focus on the feeling. Being in a relationship represents some kind of feeling for us. For some of us it's security, fun, companionship, and so on. That feeling is what we're trying to manifest, and that's what we want to focus on, which in return eliminates a lot of pressure.3. Keep track of your actionsLastly, we feel crazy when manifesting because we're all up in our heads. We're thinking about it and visualizing it, but we also want to get honest about what we're physically doing to help co-create this relationship. Remember, we live on this place called Earth that's physical! So let's keep track of what we're doing to help ourselves.Enjoy the episode. Let me know if you have questions.

Do you find yourself hanging onto old love despite your logic? It makes no sense, right? You know your worth and that this can’t possibly be good for you, but for some reason you’re afraid of letting go. You’re afraid that you may never feel this way again despite the relationship being a total shit show. I’m here to tell you you’re not crazy. Not because you’re right. Truth is you’re probably not meant to be together. BUT the feeling and pull is real. Why? Because you’re dealing with a soulmate relationship. Now, first let me remind you that we have several soulmates. Your mother can be a soulmate. Your boss, too. And not all soulmate relationships are all rainbows and butterflies.The one you may find yourself in may be very difficult. Or perhaps it might feel cozy, but lack spark or attraction. That’s because you’ve done this before!  And just because you’ve done it before doesn’t mean it’s supposed to last. Let’s break down soulmate love, how you can heal, and how you can find one that will lead to a happy ending with little drama. Give this episode a listen and let me know what you think.

Today’s episode is a tough one. Here’s why. Many of us are looking for divine masculine energy. Whether we’re in search of a heterosexual relationship or same sex relationship, we’re looking for either predominatly divine femine or predominatly divine masculine energy. Today I’m speaking to those of you looking for a partner who is predominantly in their divine masculine energy. We’re going to talk about what those qualities really are and how to create space for them. Because the truth many times, we either don’t leave any room for the masculine to show up, or we condone it when it appears. As the patriarchy begins to dissolve it’s important to not label all masucline qualities as the patriarchy. It’s also important that we don’t just turn the patriarchy into the matriarchy. Let’s clear up all that funky energy and misunderstandings so you can better understand yourself and what you’re calling in. And so you can create a direct line for your manifestations.

I’m pretty obsessed with spirit guides if you haven’t noticed. I first got into them when I went to visit a psychic who was supposed to tell me that my ex-boyfriend was going to come running back to me. No such luck.Her reading was so fascinating that I had to understand what she was doing. She explained to me that she could speak to angels. Whaaaat?And these angels apparently were around us to protect us and had info on us. I needed to know more. As soon as I got over my fear of seeing and hearing spirits (religion will sometimes do that to you), through my studies I started to connect to spirit guides, accidently. And guess what? They were so chatty. Full of so much useful info. The first thing one of my guides did was show me a past life, in my dreams, with an ex that healed so much for me and finally allowed me to let go and move on. And eventually be open to attracting my husband. Besides assisting us in healing, spirit guides are here to do exactly what their title says: guide us. They are highly evolved souls that are assigned to work with us for various reasons. Some come and go depending on what season we’re in and others stick around for much longer. Their job is to help us evolve and reach our potential. If you’re feeling called to bring romantic partnership into your life, know that this is part of your purpose. And your guide wants you to fulfill your purpose, so they want to assist you in healing any blocks that is keeping you from love — that may be past life stuff or simply negative thoughts. Dating is a great teaching opportunity for them!In today’s episode, I go over what spirit guides are, how you can connect with yours, and how you can receive help in the love department. Give this episode a listen to learn more about your helpful guides.

I often think of us as little kicked dogs trying to find love again even though we were abused in a past. Have you ever been with an animal who was hurt in the past? You go in for a snuggle, and they just back up out of fear of getting hurt again.That's us, you guys! Don't you ever feel like that?At some point, you will be loved... really loved, and it'll be hard to believe it. One day, you'll allow yourself the love you really deserve, and you'll start to wonder if the person loving you is just pulling a prank on you.This has been the case for so many of us, and today, we have a guest who so generously shares her journey.It's a journey of reminding herself that she is worthy, that real love does exist and it exist for her.This is such a beautiful share from Liz Newman, who was on the first season of The Final Swipe. She found love — and it feels funny.Ready to feel all the feels on this one. Get ready to love again.

Have you ever had a reading and the person told you one thing was going to happen and it never did? What's the deal, right? Did that person take you for a ride? If you're wondering about this phenomenon, you have to listen to this episode.In this episode, I talk about what futures look like in a reading; I explain how you can allow your future to come in; and how to deal with the anxiety of dating in the unknown.The truth is, the future you're looking forward to wants to come in, but we're so bogged down. So let's learn how to release, surrender, and make space (all the buzz words, yes!) for the love you really want. Also, let's learn how to open up our hearts and date even when we don't know what's going to happen with a certain relationship.There's some good wisdom in your future. Just saying!

Because it's not, and Shani Silver wants to tell you why.Shani has been single for a decade, and one day she just became tired. Not tired of being single, but tired of being mad about it. And that's when things started to change for Shani.In today's episode, Shani shares how she changed her life by taking a different approach to being single than what we're normally taught. She explains how she got here, what dating looks like these days, and how she was able to start enjoying her life again.I was excited to have Shani on the show because she's a beautiful example of being hopeful and optimistic, but at the same time completely present. Meaning, she's looking forward to the future, but she's also truly loving her present.Her perspective on dating is so refreshing (and needed), that she scored a column with Refinery29 titled, "Every Single Day" and hosts a podcast called "A Single Serving Podcast." Shani is changing the conversation for shamed singles everywhere, so that we can finally look at this time in our life with clarityThere's so much wisdom in this one. Enjoy!

If you’ve hung out with me lone enough, you know all about dating blocks: The strange stuff we believe that get in our way when it comes to love. We get that healing those blocks is going to be part of the journey. But truthfully, sometimes you just need some damn good dating strategies. And that’s what today’s episode of The Final Swipe Podcast is about. Tips! Because no one ever teaches us how to date. For today’s episode, I was joined by dating and relationships coach Emilia Nagy. She is so sunny, candid, and well versed in dating. You can tell she geeks out on this stuff, which makes her so valuable. We talk about the positive side of shame, how to overcome narcissistic relationships, and how to kill the dating game. Grab that paper and pen!In this episode we talk about: Why dating is a struggleBest dating practices for womenHow men and women date differentlyNarcissistic relationships and abuseBringing your vision to lifeLinks we mention: Emilia’s WebsiteEmilia’s InstagramHow to Pick the Right Man Checklist

There is one thing we can’t go without when dating. If we try to leave this part of us out of the process, we will be completely lost. That thing is: our feelings. Connecting to what we feel is what gives us the direction towards what we want. It’s our compass. But, sadly, we’ve also learned that feelings are bad. We either want to jump out of our bodies when they come up, or we turn them off all together. No bueno, you guys. Let’s dig into that, shall we? And to do so, I had the pleasure of conversing with feelings expert, Maddy Moon. My friends, this woman has managed to figure out how to be guided by her feelings even when she’s on dating apps! My hero, and you’re new guide. In this episode, we talk about what life looks like without feelings, what it’s like to honor even the shadow parts of ourselves, and how to embrace the deep emotions in a way that serves us. This is such a good convo. It just embodies self-acceptance — which we can never get enough of, especially while dating. Get cozy. In this episode we talk about: Feelings!The Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine and how to use it while datingWhat are our shadow qualities and how to embrace themHow to use your intuition with dating appsLinks we mention:Maddy’s Wesbite Maddy’s InstagramMaddy’s PodcastThe Feminine Spirit SchoolMaddy’s 1:1 Coaching

Chances are you’ve heard about chakras, but really, what the hell are they?In today’s episode of The Final Swipe, we talk all about the heart chakra. In my private sessions, I use the chakras to read energy, which is how I’m able to see blocks in people. When I see an imbalance in that center, it’s either too open or too closed. When I was starting out on my spiritual journey, my heart was too closed. In this episode, I talk about the heart healing that changed my life and led me to my energy reading gift. If you’re feeling your heart chakra is a little off, this is the episode for you. Let’s learn how to bring that bright green energy center back to health. Listen on!Resources1.

It's not an easy convo, but we need to have it. For those of us struggling with dating, our soul is asking us to stretch. We are going to have to put ourselves out there and challenge ourselves in a way that you've never done before. Because if we keep doing the same stuff, we're just going to see the same result, right?The stretch is scary and really uncomfortable, I get it. In order to avoid that uncomfortable feeling, we do this thing: We keep a placeholder around. A placeholder is someone we keep around as our backup plan. It's our "in case of emergency" plan. And while it seems harmless, what we don't understand is how this safety net keeps us small. When we stay small, we don't allow ourselves the true love we really desire. In today's episode of The Final Swipe podcast we talk about getting ready to release the energetic cords with these people who take up that "romantic love" space in our lives, but don't provide all that we want or need in a relationship. We also talk about how, sometimes, we keep ourselves busy with other people's lives in order to not feel the void of being alone. But the feeling of being alone is the thing that is going to push outside of our comfort zone in order to find love. So let's do this together, my friend. Let's get you ready for real love.

You’ve probably heard me talk about soulmates before because I’m pretty obsessed with clearing the air. When it comes to romantic relationships, there is not just one, person out there to love and cherish us. A soulmate is someone who has lived other lifetimes with us. Get it? Soul-Mate?So now that we’ve cleared that up, we can get into the real important stuff: manifesting a wonderful romantic relationship. And we’re going to do that today by creating a list.I know what you’re going to tell me, “Nikki, I’ve made my perfect-man checklist and all I heard were crickets.” And you know what I’ll say to that? You did it wrong. First off, manifesting is a real thing. We can call things into our lives through our thoughts and belief. Writing what we want down is physical action we can take in the manifesting process. So that’s why we make a list. But the reason your previous list did not work out was because you were coming from the wrong place.If your list said things like, “I want him to be tall, wealthy, and drive a truck,” I’m sorry to say but it’s not going to work. And here’s why. When we try to manifest things without addressing why we want it, we can attract really wonky stuff. The why is more important than the what. Our lists have to be based on how we want to feel.(Need more help with this? Check out my book "The Final Swipe," by following this link: https://www.amazon.com/Final-Swipe-Pe...)You want to attract someone who is wealthy, because maybe you want to someone to be equal to you, or because you don’t want to be taking care of someone, or because you want to feel secure. If you only write down “I want him to be wealthy,” you can attract someone who has a lot, but spends a lot. Or you can have someone who has a lot, but has a lot of debt. Now, if you create your list based off how you want to feel in the relationship, you can’t go wrong. You’re covering your basis. You would say something like, “I want to feel like an equal,” or “I want to feel financially secure,” or “I want to feel that my partner takes responsibility for himself.”When it comes to romantic relationships, what lasts is not the outside stuff. What lasts is how we feel. Our emotional needs are what need to be met. The outside stuff we’re trying to call in is the manifestation of a need. We don’t want a tall person just for the hell of it! We want a tall person, because we want to feel small and feminine. Our feelings list is this week’s spiritual assignment. Create your perfect partner manifestation list with your feelings list in mind. Here are some examples:“I don’t want to be second to his/her friends and family”“I want to feel like a priority”“I want to be able to trust and not feel like I’m going to be cheated on”“I want to feel emotionally secure and trusting”“I want to feel beautiful in his/her eyes”“I want to make sure this person is financially ok”“I want to feel financially secure”“I want to make sure this person isn’t a crazy partier”“I want to feel I’m with a partner who prioritizes his/her health”“I want to be with someone who will stick around for the hard stuff”“I want to feel I am in a mature and committed relationship, where communication is of highest importance”If you have any questions about your list, leave me a comment below. Much love always!Xo,Nikki

What if you found love, and then later experienced losing it?That was the case for today's guest, Carmen Ordonez, who was happily married and then lost her husband to cancer at a very young age. Suddenly, Carmen found herself heartbroken, a single mother, and single in a dating world that was very different than the last time she saw it. What she did to move forward was incredible, and I'm so grateful to have her on today's episode of "The Final Swipe Podcast."Even if we haven't experience death of a loved one, Carmen shares so much wisdom on how we can move forward after losing love — or what we thought was love (I'm talking to you, divorced or recently single friend). Although this wasn't the plan, Carmen managed to gather her vision for a beautiful life, create it, and honor her late husband at the same time. See dating in a new light with this episode.

When I was dating and looking for love, I was only saying I was looking for love.The truth was, I wasn’t looking for only love.What I was really doing was hoping and waiting for my ex.At the time, I was pretty aware that I was recovering from a breakup. I assumed the way to get over this would be to meet someone who would sweep me of my feet.But that wasn’t happening.In fact, I couldn’t find anyone who cared much for me, and if they did, I couldn’t reciprocate.How many of us have this plan?“I’ll keep my ex on deck.”Whether we’re hoping they’ll come back or keeping them as our back up, if our ex is still in our heart, there is no space for something new.It’s also a waste of our time!We pretend to date. We pretend “there’s nothing out there.” But really all we’re doing is sabotaging ourselves so that we can prove to ourselves that our destiny is with our ex.What needs to happen is an honest conversation.Confront the situation. Ask your ex if there’s a chance. Ask yourself if that’s what you want or would you rather something new (with all the upgrades!).And when your ex replies, listen. Like really listen.Don’t just hear what you want to hear.Listen with your intuition.Listen with your heart.Because it’s time.Time to move forward. Or time to give it a real try.No more stuck in the middle.No more pretending nothing is working out for you.It’s time.We talk about:How to create space for your true loveWhy you shouldn’t have a “backup person” and how to close that door Resources:My membership program: http://nikkinovo.com/membership

I completely believe that we have everything we need right now, from where we stand to find the love we really want.BUT why isn’t it working for you, right?Well, because unfortunately we have a lot layers of crap on top of us — limiting beliefs, traumas, anxieties, and so on. So while we’re equipped, often we have to undress the layer, one by one. Which is basically what I mean when I say, “We have to do the work.”We often have to do the inner work to unlayer and love all of it. From that place is where we begin to create our dream relationships and dream lives. With this in mind, on today’s episode of The Final Swipe, I speak to my good friend Nina Endrst. Her journey to love was full of all of the shit, but then it led her to so much intention. She did the work. And it shows, because her and her husband are the cutest. I asked her to come on the show to share her process from trauma to love, because it’s always nice to have real-life examples. We also went on some tangents covering topics that include, emotional availability, dating anxiety, inner healing work, and SO much more. She takes us on her journey from experiencing trauma in the workplace and in relationships to healing her soul, discovering her passion, and ultimately, finding her husband. Enjoy this one. It’s a modern-day happily ever after. We talk about:Defining emotional unavailability and how to spot an emotionally available person.

Have you ever fallen in love with someone who is off limits or unavailable? Cue:  “I wish that I had Jessie’s Girl.”Unavailable can be, they told you they’re not ready for commitment, or your heart is telling you they’re not open to receiving love. And off limits can me… they’re you’re boss!This can be really confusing. Because you’re like, shit, what is going on with my manifesting skills?!But guess what: this is actually a good thing.See, when it comes to manifesting a loving relationship, we need to get to a place where we can feel what it is like to be in love. When I teach this, you often respond by saying “But I’ve never had the kind of love I’m trying to attract, so how would I know how it feels?”When you ask, you receive! And this is when the universe brings you a person who you feel all the feels for, but can’t necessarily date. I know this may sound mean, but think of it as a gift. You now know what you’re looking for — you know what it feels like. You can borrow this feeling when manifesting. Still a little confused? Don’t fret. In today’s episode of The Final Swipe, I walk you through how to create a positive story around this seemingly shitty situation and how to use this experience to make you an even better manifester. Remember, my friend, the universe is going to help you get towards the vibration you need to be on to attract the love of your life, but often there are inspired steps you need to do in order to get there. For you, this might be one of the things. I know you’re on the right path, because you’re already receiving answers to your questions. Keep going!Annnnd, If you don’t want to walk this journey alone, I would love to have you in my membership program, where I’ll answer your question every week. We have a whole community of supportive and uplifting women who are walking the same path as you.We talk about:How to reframe your story around these experiences. How to use your feelings about this person to enhance your manifesting skills. Resources:My membership program: https://nikkinovo.com/membershipMy Book: https://amzn.to/2TUDz39

If you're reading this, it's because you understand what I understand, which is that finding love is a spiritual journey back to self — back to our worth and our wholeness. What happens along that journey many times is that we are confronted with our past. And if we're not aware of it, we'll be confronted with our past over and over again. This is when we start to question "Why do I keep attracting shitty situations?"This is when we get stuck. There's a part of us that believes in a new future, but we don't understand the role healing our past plays in creating a new reality. In today's episode of The Final Swipe, we take a look at your present through the lens of your past. And to do that, I brought in my soul sister Christine Gutierrez. Christine is a licensed psychotherapist and trauma expert. I love her perspective of trauma and dating, so I wanted to share her with you.If you're ready for a new future (and past and present), this episode is for you.We talk about:How trauma plays out when datingHow we heal our past sometimes through the presentThe process of the death of your pastResources:Christine's digital home: https://christineg.tv/Christine's retreat: https://christineg.tv/Diosa+RetreatMy membership program: https://nikkinovo.com/membership
