when control feels like safety

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about eating disorders and weight loss. in this vulnerable and deeply personal episode of live a little, nikki is diving into the topic of control - how it shows up in our lives in both healthy and unhealthy ways, and why we clutch onto it so tightly when everything else feels uncertain. nikki gets real about losing control over her body and childhood when she was diagnosed at six years old, and how that sent her searching for anything that felt like hers. she opens up about experiences that she has never spoken about publicly before, and the importance of finding healthy outlets (like makeup and fashion) for self-soothing. nikki shares the voices that still linger, and her biggest lessons from such a dark time. if you've ever felt like you're quietly drowning while trying to keep your feet above water, this one's for you. don't forget to subscribe and don't miss new episodes every thursday!
