You have a deep desire to have a husband. You don’t know how or when you will meet him. One day you want to have a successful marriage, so why not start now on preparing yourself to be a wife!

While I was single I had a mindset shift and thought, if I wanted to meet an amazing, healthy man, I need to be that myself. I needed to prepare myself to be a wife. I will share with you what I did to do just that.

I am here to tell you that I am not perfect and I am still growing and learning, but I stepped into marriage more prepared and sure of myself and the man I was marrying because of the steps I took to prepare.

Have you heard the phrase, "I'll sleep when I'm dead"? Well, you may die sooner than you think with this mindset. Sleep is when your body recovers, restores, rejuvenates. All the systems in your body operate because of sleep. Don't underestimate it.

In this episode, I share research and studies about sleep. I share how many hours you actually need and practical ways to help you be able to fall asleep and have quality sleep.

One device I mention that will help with sleep is Red Light. Here is the link for a discount for Lumebox or use the code NIKKIH

Do you feel you are getting “too old” to meet your spouse? Do you feel “left behind” as others around you are getting married, having kids? Do you feel you will never meet your life partner?

This can be a hard place to be in. It can feel like you aren’t moving forward in life as you thought you would. Maybe you are approaching your 30s or 40s and you think you should have been married by now. When will it ever happen? Will it ever happen?

This thought can hold you back. It can make you believe you are less than. This comes down to self trust, self worth, self talk and (the big one) COMPARISON! This also puts limits on God. He has the ultimate plan for your life. He is always working behind the scenes.

It's important to listen to God's voice during times like this. I share a chapter from my book "A God You've Never Met: Who is the Holy Spirit" about how to hear the voice of God.
