You said yes again, didn't you? Maybe it felt exciting in the moment. Maybe you didn't want to let anyone down. Maybe you genuinely thought you could squeeze it in. And now you're staring down a week that's way too full, running on fumes, and quietly resenting every single thing you agreed to. Nikki and Sammi are diving into the overcommitment spiral — why we do it, what it costs us, and how to catch the warning signs before you hit the wall. They unpack the feeling that creeps in before burnout officially arrives — the low-grade dread, the fraying edges, the moment your calendar starts to feel like a threat. And they get honest about the deeper reasons we keep saying yes when everything in us is screaming no. People pleasing. Fear of missing out. The belief that being busy means being worthy. Because here's the truth — a full schedule isn't the same as a full life. And learning to protect your energy before you crash isn't selfish. It's survival. This one's for anyone who's ever cancelled plans, cried in the car, or whispered "why did I agree to this" while getting ready to show up anyway. Living in alignment... somewhat.

There's not a woman we know who hasn't had a complicated relationship with food at some point. And honestly? When you look at where most of our food beliefs came from — nutrition research conducted almost exclusively on men, the chaos of 90s celebrity diet culture, and the questionable TV we grew up watching — it's not hard to see why so many of us ended up so confused. In this solo episode, Nikki takes a tender and honest look at our food stories — the unspoken beliefs we carry, where they were handed to us, and how they've quietly shaped the way we eat, think, and feel about our bodies. She gets into the great carb wars, the noise of conflicting advice, and what it actually looks like to start tuning that out and listening to what your body is genuinely asking for. Because underneath all the rules and restriction is a simpler truth: your body knows. Learning to hear it again — that's the work.   Connect with Nikki: www.nikkikable.com @nikki_kable

Curious about Tarot but not sure where to start? This one's for you. Nikki and Sammi pull back the curtain on one of their favourite tools for self-reflection, intuition, and — let's be honest — a little everyday magic. In this episode they break down what Tarot actually is, why it's worth your time, and how two very different women use it in two very different ways. Nikki — the visual artist — is drawn to the imagery, pulling one card a day and letting it inspire her own creative work. Sammi — the writer — reads intuitively, following the narrative thread the cards lay out and trusting where it leads. No crystal ball required. No prior knowledge needed. Just an open mind and a willingness to see what comes up. And because we couldn't help ourselves — this episode closes with a collective reading. If you're listening, there might just be something in it for you. Living in alignment... somewhat.

If you knew you couldn't fail, if money and time weren't factors, if you were absolutely limitless—what would you do?!   Sagittarius is the master manifestor of the zodiac, so this full moon allow yourself to dream without limits, and dare to imagine, that those dreams might just come true.  In this solo episode Sammi goes deeper on why this is energy is potent and powerful, and what you can do to harness it.   Connect with Sammi:  https://www.instagram.com/sammi.wildrose/ www.wildrosecommunity.com https://linktr.ee/somewhat_aligned  

Being open, feeling deeply, receiving the emotions of those around you — that's not a flaw. That's your superpower. But what happens when the gift becomes too much? In this solo episode, Sammi gets personal about what it actually feels like to absorb heavy energy from someone you love — the fatigue, the nausea, the mood swings and emotional depletion that has nothing to do with your own life. And more importantly, what to do about it! Whether you're a self-identified empath, a highly sensitive person, or just someone who always seems to leave social situations utterly depleted — this one's for you. Sammi walks through her actual toolkit for clearing what isn't yours and coming back home to yourself. From smudging and breathwork to Epsom salt baths, forest bathing, yoga twists, and the micro-rituals you can weave into even the fullest of days. Because staying open to the world shouldn't cost you yourself. You don't have to shut down to protect your energy. You just need to learn how to rinse it off. In this episode: What it means to be an empath — and why your sensitivity is a gift worth protecting Sammi's personal experience of energetically absorbing someone else's pain Ethereal clearing: smudging, breathwork, yoga & apana energy flow Physical resets: nature, water, sauna, dry brushing & more Micro-practices for sensitive souls who don't have hours to themselves Sammi's invitation to build this into your daily rhythm — not just when you're drowning Living in alignment… somewhat.    Connect with Sammi:  https://www.instagram.com/sammi.wildrose/ www.wildrosecommunity.com https://linktr.ee/somewhat_aligned      

"Suffering is the gap between the life you have and the life you think you should have." And most of the time? We create that gap ourselves. There is a particular kind of discomfort that comes with being in between — between who you were and who you're becoming, between the life that fell apart and the one that hasn't quite taken shape yet. It's not dramatic. It's not a crisis. It's just this slow, frustrating, disorienting feeling of are we there yet? In this episode Nikki and Sammi get honest about stagnation — what it actually feels like from the inside, why it's so much harder than anyone warns you, and why it might not be stagnation at all. They explore the enormous identity shift that happens when life doesn't go to plan and you suddenly have to build an entirely new future from scratch. The yucky, disorienting feeling of stepping out of your old conditioning and trying to operate as a newer, healthier version of yourself — one that still feels foreign even when you know it's right. And they share what actually helps when you're in it — from radical acceptance and getting out of lack mindset, to practising patience, finding gratitude in the process, and learning to trust that where you are right now is not the end of the story. Because here's the thing about butterflies — they can't even see their own wings!   Find us here:  https://linktr.ee/somewhat_aligned

You're not imagining it. There really are weeks when you feel unstoppable — hitting personal bests, training hard, recovering fast, running on less and still showing up strong. And there are weeks when everything feels heavier, slower, harder — and no amount of willpower changes that. Here's the thing: both are completely normal. Both are by design. In this solo episode, Nikki breaks down how your menstrual cycle directly shapes your energy, your strength, and your capacity throughout the month — and why understanding that has changed the way she trains herself and every single one of her clients. As a PT, this information felt like a missing piece she wishes she'd had years ago. Because when you stop fighting your body and start working with it? Everything shifts. You'll learn why the first half of your cycle is built for pushing, progressing, and performing — and why the second half is a signal to slow down, nourish deeply, and practise a little compassion instead of white-knuckling through. Because progress isn't always linear. And neither are you. Track your progress monthly. Not daily.   Connect with Nikki: www.nikkikable.com @nikki_kable    

Serious question — did you know your cycle was more than just the week you bleed? Like so many women, we learned this way too late. And honestly - It changes everything. Understanding your cycle explains why you can feel absolutely radiant and unstoppable one week — and then completely crash, ready to bed rot and eat your body weight in carbs the next. Spoiler: you're not broken. You're cyclical. In this episode, Nikki and Sammi unpack how learning to work with their rhythms — instead of pushing through them — transformed how they show up in their lives, their businesses, and their bodies. All month long. Because when you understand your cycle, you stop fighting yourself. And that's where the magic is. If you're a menstruating woman, this one is for you

It's New Moon in Taurus and this energy is confusing as hell!!  If you've been feeling like you no longer care about everything you've worked so hard for - here's what's actually going on.  This moon is giving you a gift, a full on birds eye view of everything in your life, and then it's asking how you feeeel about that!  Tapping into your body is wisdom is the key to getting the gold out of this new moon.  Have a listen and let me know if this resonated for you - I'm right there with you!  Sammi x 

What if your most authentic self was the exact medicine someone else needed to see? Think about it — as children we create freely, express boldly, and show up without apology. We dance like nobody's watching because nobody told us not to yet. But somewhere along the way, life happens. Shame creeps in. Guilt takes hold. Social conditioning quietly teaches us to shrink, to fit in, to be a little less us — and a little more of what everyone else seems to expect. In this solo episode Sammi gets into one of her favourite topics — authentic expression — and why reclaiming it might be one of the most radical and healing things you ever do. She shares a practical and inspiring list of ways you can start showing up more fully as yourself today. Small, real, accessible ways to begin peeling back the layers of conditioning and returning to the version of you that was always there underneath.  Because the world doesn't need another woman who fits perfectly into the mould. It needs you — at your highest vibration, in your fullest expression, doing your most authentic thing. That's the magic.    Find Sammi: https://linktr.ee/somewhat_aligned https://www.instagram.com/sammi.wildrose/  

We started typing "is motherhood" into Google. The number one search that came up? "...worth it?" And honestly — we had a lot to say about that.  In this episode Nikki and Sammi get real about one of the most loaded questions a woman can ask herself. They unpack what has genuinely surprised them about motherhood, what has challenged them to their absolute core, and what has turned out to be the greatest blessing of their lives — even on the days it didn't feel that way. This episode is for two very different women at once. For the woman already in the thick of it — exhausted, stretched, and wondering if anyone else feels this way. We see you. We are you.  And for the woman quietly asking herself whether motherhood is even part of her story — no judgement, no agenda, and absolutely no answers here. Just two honest women sharing their stories to help you find your own.  Because this is one of the biggest questions a woman will ever sit with — and it deserves a real conversation. No filters. No perfect answers. Just the truth.   Find Us Here: https://linktr.ee/somewhat_aligned

What if the secret to a great morning actually starts the night before? In this solo episode Nikki shares her go-to morning routine for starting the day on your own terms — the one that has genuinely been a game changer for her stability, her mindset, and the way she shows up for everything that follows. She walks us through the practices that have transformed her mornings — from tongue scraping and oil pulling, to celery juice, gratitude journalling, meditation, movement, and getting outside into natural light first thing. But this isn't a rigid checklist or a routine you need to nail perfectly every single day. Think of it as a toolkit — pick what works, leave what doesn't, and build something that actually fits your real life.  And her number one non-negotiable? Getting to bed the night before. Nikki shares her insights on what a truly restorative evening looks like — and breaks it down through the lens of Human Design, so you can understand what good rest and winding down actually looks like for your specific profile. Because the most powerful morning routine in the world starts with how you end the night before.   To work with Nikki and curate your own routine: https://www.nikkikable.com/    

What if you were never broken? What if you were just living someone else's blueprint? In this episode Nikki turns the mic around and does a live Human Design reading — on Sammi. And honestly? Things got a little uncanny.  If you've never heard of Human Design, think of it as a personalised map of who you actually are — combining ancient wisdom from astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and the chakra system with modern science to create a unique energetic blueprint for every individual. It shows you how you're designed to make decisions, where you're naturally powerful, where you're most susceptible to outside influence, and how you're meant to move through the world. In short — it's the manual you never got at birth. And once you see it, you cannot unsee it. In Sammi's reading Nikki covers her energy type and how she's designed to show up and operate, her authority and how she's actually wired to make her best decisions, and a deep dive into her defined and undefined centres — the parts of her that are consistent and the parts that absorb the energy of everyone around her. There were more than a few "oh that explains everything" moments.  Whether you're completely new to Human Design or have been curious for a while, this episode is your perfect introduction — and a genuine taste of what a reading feels like from the inside.

First of all - It's going to be okay!!   If you're feeeeling it this week - like really emotionally painfully, questioning your life choices, taking everything super personally, ready to burn your whole life to the ground as you drown in a river of your own tears - kind of feeling it... That's Scorpio baby! And it means you've got work to do.  Scorpio energy is all about intensity. There's no emotion too deep, no secret too shameful... Scorpio eats that for breakfast.  The gift? If we're willing to go there, and let ourselves feel fully into that depth of our emotions - without needing to run or numb from it - then we have the power to transmute it, and alchemise that pain into power. You got this.    More here: Somewhat Aligned Linktree    

Have you ever had so much to say — and found yourself saying nothing? In this solo episode, Sammi gets real about her own journey from self-censorship to self-expression. From holding back and playing small — to owning her story, speaking up, and putting herself out there in ways that once felt completely out of reach. This one is for every woman who knows she has a voice but hasn't quite found the courage to use it yet. Sammi shares the practices that helped her find hers — from the simple but powerful act of speaking out loud, to becoming aware of the tone, content, and energy behind your words. She explores how challenging yourself to speak your truth in small ways builds into something much bigger over time, and why energetic clearing and voice chakra activations might just be the missing piece for those who feel persistently blocked in their self expression. Because your voice is not just how you communicate - It's how you show up in the world, claim your space, and become the most authentic, confident version of yourself. Let yourself be LOUD.   More here: Somewhat Aligned Linktree

When did you last do something just for the fun of it? No agenda, no outcome, no productivity attached — just pure, unfiltered joy? Nikki has been on a mission lately, to bring back joy and get people playing again! In this feel-good episode Nikki and Sammi unpack what play actually means as an adult, why so many of us have quietly let it slip away, and what happens to our joy, creativity, and wellbeing when we do. They share their own experiences of rediscovering play — and some genuinely fun ideas for how to bring more of it back into your everyday life. This one is light-hearted, a little nostalgic, and might just make you want to cancel your plans and go do something completely ridiculous and wonderful.  Because what if joy isn't something you earn at the end of a productive day? What if play is actually the whole point?   Find us here:  www.nikkikable.com/somewhataligned   www.instagram.com/nikkikable/   www.wildrosecommunity.com/ https://www.instagram.com/sammi.wildrose/  

Some seasons of life don't just knock you down. They pull you under — and you can't even see the surface from where you are. In this solo episode, Nikki gets deeply vulnerable about one of the hardest chapters of her life. Postnatal depression. The fog that descended after early motherhood, the mindset she was trapped in for years, and what it actually took to find her way through it. Nikki shares honestly about her experience recovering in hospital, and how the skills she learned there didn't just help her then — they still show up in her life today. She talks about the coping mechanisms she leaned on during the darkest years — overworking, alcohol, escaping into fantasy — and the long, slow process of surrendering control and rebuilding a sense of self through one of the biggest identity shifts a woman can experience. This is not a polished, packaged recovery story. It's real, it's raw, and it's told with the kind of courage that only comes from having truly walked through the fire. Nikki wants you to know — if any of this darkness resonates with you — that help is available, it works, and you are not alone. Everything she has learned over the last twelve years has brought her to a place of strength where she can sit with her story, speak it out loud, and light the way for someone else still in the fog.

Our minds can be our greatest ally — or our worst enemy. And most of us know exactly which one it becomes when life gets a little too loud.   We've all been there. The stressful day that snowballs, the overthinking that won't switch off, the moment of dysregulation that tips into a full blown meltdown before you even saw it coming.   In this episode Nikki and Sammi get refreshingly honest about the coping mechanisms they used to rely on — the ones that didn't exactly serve them — and what they've gradually replaced them with instead…. (somewhat!) They share the habits and practices that actually help them regulate, come back to themselves, and stop a spiral before it takes over — from movement and breathwork to the surprisingly underrated power of keeping your hands busy and blasting a tune. Because managing your mind is a lifelong practice. And having a toolkit that actually works? Game changer.

Can you believe we're already a quarter of the way through the year? Wild! In this solo episode, Nikki invites you to pause, breathe, and take an honest look at where you're at. Not to judge yourself — but to check in. Are you still on course? Are your goals still aligned with who you're becoming? And if life has pulled you off track a little... that's okay too. Nikki guides you through a set of powerful journal reflections designed to help you review, reset, and reconnect with what actually matters to you right now. This is your chance to celebrate how far you've come, release any guilt about where you haven't, and realign with the rest of the year ahead with fresh eyes and renewed intention. No shame. No pressure. Just you, your journal, and a gentle reminder that a quarter of the way done means three quarters of opportunity still to come. Let's get it.   Find Nikki: www.nikkikable.com/   www.instagram.com/nikkikable_/  

You know that thing you've been thinking about starting? The business, the creative project, the idea that keeps quietly tapping you on the shoulder? Yeah, that one. This episode is for you. Nikki and Sammi are two women who just love to create — not because they're perfect at it, not because they had it all figured out from the start, but because they started anyway. And in this episode they're sharing everything they wish someone had told them before they did. They unpack how small, imperfect actions create far more momentum than waiting for the perfect moment ever will. Why releasing your expectations of what something should be creates space for what it can be. How letting go of perfectionism is less about lowering your standards and more about trusting the process. And why collaboration might just be the secret weapon that helps you work around your weak spots — because you don't have to be good at everything, you just have to be willing.   Because here's the truth — you don't need more time, more clarity, or more confidence. You just need to start.

Happy Birthday Nikki! She's lived a rich and colourful life — to put it nicely. But this is the first birthday where she's not in tears, finally feeling grounded in who she is and where she's headed. And honestly? That's worth celebrating. In this episode Sammi and Nikki sit down to unpack some of the biggest lessons Nikki has gathered across 38 years of living — the kind of wisdom you can only earn through actually going through it. They talk about why your energy is your currency, and how true success lives in the essence of who you are — not your output or your list of achievements. You get a permission slip of doing something purely for joy, with no agenda to monetise it or tie your worth to the outcome. And they explore what it really means to surrender control and trust that life is unfolding exactly as it should.   This episode is also a beautiful reflection on finally letting go of guilt, releasing the shame of how we should be doing things, and arriving at the place where you actually start to embody the wisdom instead of just knowing it. Because you don't live and lose. You live and learn.   Key takeaway: Life happens in the small moments, being present is key. You'll never get those small moments back - and they're the ones that make it all worth it.   Links:  https://www.nikkikable.com/somewhat-aligned https://www.wildrosecommunity.com/  

What if your healing could feel a little less heavy — and a little more magical?   In this solo episode Sammi Rose shares how she stumbled onto the powerful, energetic qualities of the moon, and how working with that energy became one of her most powerful tools for personal healing and growth. What started as a happy accident became a cyclical practice — and that practice became the moon ceremonies she holds today.   Then she drops into the energy of the Libra Full Moon. Libra is asking us to take an honest look at our relationships and where they might be out of balance. And Sammi's not letting us off the hook lightly — she shares a practice for setting a new energetic threshold for yourself and declaring how people get to show up around you moving forward. Because you're allowed to decide that.   Tune in if you've ever felt stirred up by the moon and wondered why not do your healing in connection with nature, with community — and make it feel like the ritual it was always meant to be.

Not the toxic positivity version — the real one. In this episode we're sharing our personal go-to reset rituals, why hindsight might be your greatest growth tool, and the one thing most people skip after a setback that makes all the difference. Because getting knocked down isn't the problem. It's what you do next that counts.

Welcome to Somewhat Aligned!  In our very first episode, meet your hosts — Nikki and Sammi — two fierce feminine entrepreneurs who between them have accumulated a truckload of life experience. Some messy, some magical, and some downright tragic. What they've mastered? Picking themselves back up and getting back on track. This week we're unpacking the big question that started it all: what does it actually mean to live in alignment? We explore it through two lenses: Human Design — You were born exactly as you were always meant to be. Through a lifetime of conditioning, many of us have drifted away from that original blueprint. Alignment is the journey back to it. Spirituality — We all carry an innate inner knowing of who we are and what our soul is here to do. Alignment is the journey through shadow work and rebuilding the foundations that support the highest version of you. Whether you're deep in your self-development era or just starting to ask the big questions — this one's for you. Living in alignment... somewhat. Let's go. ✨
