Nikita Williams is a mindset business coach and the host of the podcast, She’s Crafted to Thrive. She was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2009 and fibromyalgia in 2010. These diagnoses inspired her to use the training she received from previous jobs to jump-start her career as a business coach. Nikita learned that having a chronic illness did not limit her potential. In fact, it helped her to see the possibilities for herself and for her clients. Her aim is to help all creative women — especially those who live with chronic illness — to go from feeling limited to limitless so that they can create a life and business that thrives, in their unique way.
Tune in as Nikita shares:

the learning curve of “not knowing what you don’t know”

how she discovered she was a highly sensitive person (HSP)
why she only sees female doctors

why self-advocacy is so vitally important
why finding a way to cope with her pain has always been her first priority — and yes, even before the question of her fertility

how essential oils and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) have helped her manage her pain and anxiety
why her hysterectomy triggered depression and anxiety
how sharing about her chronic illnesses helped her find healing
