Sometimes life doesn’t fall apart because you’ve failed. Sometimes it falls apart because you’ve abandoned yourself. In this deeply honest Rise Up Story, Vicky Ross is joined by physiotherapist and mind-body practitioner Nicky Herringshaw, whose life looked successful from the outside but quietly felt empty on the inside. 

From the monotony of early motherhood to discovering betrayal, Nikki shares the moment she realised she had been living everyone else’s version of her life—and what it took to come home to herself. 

Together they explore: 

• Why your body often speaks before your mind is ready to listen.  

• Healing after infidelity and divorce without becoming bitter.  

• The surprising power of understanding someone’s story without excusing their behaviour.  

• Why meditation isn’t about escaping life – it’s about returning to yourself.  

• The relationship between physical symptoms, emotions and unconscious beliefs.  

• Letting go of people-pleasing and learning to trust your own intuition.  

• The freedom that comes from upgrading not only your future – but the story you tell yourself about your past. 

Drawing on more than 24 years as a physiotherapist, Nikki explains how she combines Women’s Health Physiotherapy with Havening, PSYCH-K®, NLP and Cranio-Sacral Therapy to help people reconnect mind, body and soul through a truly holistic approach.  

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Is this really my life?” this conversation will remind you that your greatest breakthrough often begins with your greatest awakening.
