Birthday Confessions: The Highs, The Lows & Lessons Learned in Turning 38

In this intimate solo episode of A Sharper Life, Nikki gets raw and real as she approaches her 38th birthday: being single, divorced, child-free and her biggest tips for aging. Not quite the big 4-0, yet no longer holding on to the dreams she once had which can be hard for anyone as they get older and Nikki isn’t holding back in this juicy episode.

This isn't just another birthday reflection—it's a moment of truth, identity, and evolution. From ego deaths and unexpected loneliness to spiritual rebirth and sensual reclamation, Nikki shares the real behind-the-scenes journey of growing into your most unapologetic self.

Turning 38 cracked something open—not in fear of aging, but in powerful self-inquiry: Who am I now? What no longer fits? What if aging wasn’t terrifying but empowering?

Whether you're in your 20s, 60s, or anywhere in between, this episode is for anyone who's ever wondered: Am I behind? Is it too late? Or is this the moment I've actually been waiting for?

It’s about letting go of who you thought you had to be — and choosing who you actually are.

In this episode, Nikki opens up about:

• The death of “Good Girl Energy” — and how power rooted in love hits different
• Outgrowing friendships (without the drama) and making peace with it
• Reclaiming femininity and sexuality from a place of embodiment, not validation
• The quiet loneliness of being single, child-free, or "different" at this age
• Spiritual awakenings, slowing down, and learning to sit in the discomfort
• What aging has actually taught her—plus the mindset + beauty rituals that help
• Redefining success from hustle to peace, and learning to fall in love with your life
• Why self-love isn’t bubble baths—it’s boundaries, forgiveness, and deep truth

This episode is for you if:

-You’ve been questioning your path…

-You’re feeling “behind”…

-You’re scared of getting older and celebrating yourself…

-You’ve outgrown old versions of yourself but aren’t sure what’s next…

Or you just want to feel seen in your own glow-up journey — messy bits and all.
