KELLY ROACH
About this episode

What if slowing down is the secret to breaking into your next level of business growth?

In this deeply personal and powerful episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly sits down with internationally known transformational coach, bestselling author, and wellness expert Nikki Sharp for a heartfelt conversation on healing, evolving, and rediscovering purpose through the practice of intentional slowing down.

Nikki shares her journey from influencer fame and external success to burnout, reinvention, and soul-aligned living. 

Together, Kelly and Nikki unpack the often hidden cost of chasing goals without pause – and the radical clarity that comes from learning to just be.

Whether you're in a high-achieving season or sitting in the “what’s next?” space, this episode will help you embrace the discomfort of the unknown and trust the divine timing of your personal and professional evolution.

Key Takeaways

  • The power of self-leadership: Why your greatest growth happens when you learn to trust your own wisdom, not just your mentors or strategies.

  • Masculine vs. feminine energy in business: How women can lead in a way that honors their natural rhythms without burnout or disconnection.

  • The courage to pause: Why Nikki stepped away from Instagram, paused her business, and leaned into the unknown to rediscover joy and alignment.

  • Healing in real time: From public success to private struggle, Nikki opens up about walking through divorce, burnout, and deep inner work—and how it's shaping her next chapter.

  • How to find clarity in chaos: Nikki reveals the one question to ask yourself that shifts you out of “What time is it?” into “What is it time for?”
