Resilient, Rural & Raw with Nikki Harris
Hey! I’m Nikki, certified fitness trainer, personal coach and a sponsored trainer with 1st Phorm. I found a passion for nutrition, health and fitness amongst the chaos of raising 2 kids on a farm and working a full time job. Something about it all just clicked for me. I loved the way I could control my body, how it looked, how I felt and each bit of progress I made was my decision. The best feeling now, is when I get to help someone new accomplish a goal of theirs. I coach people to get out of their own damn way in order to allow themselves the opportunity to succeed. I have walked in your shoes and have felt the way you feel. I have lacked confidence. I have hidden from the mirror. I have avoided dates with my own husband. I have found a way to health and confidence I never knew existed and want nothing more than to help as many people feel the same way I do now about themselves too.

Have you heard the hype on All Natural Peptides?! I jumped in full force and let me explain why in this podcast!
They are different than synthetics as they act to heal our cells while helping them function extremely efficiently and effectively! This means you’ll be much more likely to sustain your progress and results after you stop use of natural peptides!
I go into some basic information as to how these work and why I’m so blown away by them with how good I feel!!

In this episode I talk about the issue with people always wanting to start over on goals. They feel like they always need a fresh start, a new month, a new Monday and then they fail again instead of just continuing on forward. Staying committed to your health and fitness goals is going to be something that is a mindset shift and that is something I used to struggle with. I am going to talk about a couple things that I have done that have helped me to change my mindset surrounding goals so that I don't feel like I failed when I have a day that's not perfect because we're not looking for perfect, we are looking for consistent!
