Hi, I'm Nikki.
Founder of New You, Mama.
I'm a mom of 2, Wife. Daughter. Sister. Friend. Corporate professional.
I learned the hard way that while sacrifice is part of motherhood, losing yourself should not be.
I never expected the Self-Last Pattern to be my problem — I was a strong, confident, independent woman. Yet it hit me like a ton of bricks several years into motherhood, when I realized that putting myself last was exactly how I was making my own life work.
Since then, I've been on a mission to break that pattern — learning how it shows up in motherhood, having more fun, and ruthlessly maintaining my personhood as an act of rebellion against the systemic forces that let the Self-Last Pattern thrive in our homes, communities, and workplaces.
Motherhood changed you. It didn't erase you.
