Soul Led Living Podcast with Nikki Novo

I’m pretty obsessed with spirit guides if you haven’t noticed. I first got into them when I went to visit a psychic who was supposed to tell me that my ex-boyfriend was going to come running back to me. No such luck.Her reading was so fascinating that I had to understand what she was doing. She explained to me that she could speak to angels. Whaaaat?And these angels apparently were around us to protect us and had info on us. I needed to know more. As soon as I got over my fear of seeing and hearing spirits (religion will sometimes do that to you), through my studies I started to connect to spirit guides, accidently. And guess what? They were so chatty. Full of so much useful info. The first thing one of my guides did was show me a past life, in my dreams, with an ex that healed so much for me and finally allowed me to let go and move on. And eventually be open to attracting my husband. Besides assisting us in healing, spirit guides are here to do exactly what their title says: guide us. They are highly evolved souls that are assigned to work with us for various reasons. Some come and go depending on what season we’re in and others stick around for much longer. Their job is to help us evolve and reach our potential. If you’re feeling called to bring romantic partnership into your life, know that this is part of your purpose. And your guide wants you to fulfill your purpose, so they want to assist you in healing any blocks that is keeping you from love — that may be past life stuff or simply negative thoughts. Dating is a great teaching opportunity for them!In today’s episode, I go over what spirit guides are, how you can connect with yours, and how you can receive help in the love department. Give this episode a listen to learn more about your helpful guides.

I often think of us as little kicked dogs trying to find love again even though we were abused in a past. Have you ever been with an animal who was hurt in the past? You go in for a snuggle, and they just back up out of fear of getting hurt again.That's us, you guys! Don't you ever feel like that?At some point, you will be loved... really loved, and it'll be hard to believe it. One day, you'll allow yourself the love you really deserve, and you'll start to wonder if the person loving you is just pulling a prank on you.This has been the case for so many of us, and today, we have a guest who so generously shares her journey.It's a journey of reminding herself that she is worthy, that real love does exist and it exist for her.This is such a beautiful share from Liz Newman, who was on the first season of The Final Swipe. She found love — and it feels funny.Ready to feel all the feels on this one. Get ready to love again.

Have you ever had a reading and the person told you one thing was going to happen and it never did? What's the deal, right? Did that person take you for a ride? If you're wondering about this phenomenon, you have to listen to this episode.In this episode, I talk about what futures look like in a reading; I explain how you can allow your future to come in; and how to deal with the anxiety of dating in the unknown.The truth is, the future you're looking forward to wants to come in, but we're so bogged down. So let's learn how to release, surrender, and make space (all the buzz words, yes!) for the love you really want.

Because it's not, and Shani Silver wants to tell you why.Shani has been single for a decade, and one day she just became tired. Not tired of being single, but tired of being mad about it.

She explains how she got here, what dating looks like these days, and how she was able to start enjoying her life again.I was excited to have Shani on the show because she's a beautiful example of being hopeful and optimistic, but at the same time completely present. Meaning, she's looking forward to the future, but she's also truly loving her present.Her perspective on dating is so refreshing (and needed), that she scored a column with Refinery29 titled, "Every Single Day" and hosts a podcast called "A Single Serving Podcast." Shani is changing the conversation for shamed singles everywhere, so that we can finally look at this time in our life with clarityThere's so much wisdom in this one. Enjoy!

If you’ve hung out with me lone enough, you know all about dating blocks: The strange stuff we believe that get in our way when it comes to love. We get that healing those blocks is going to be part of the journey. But truthfully, sometimes you just need some damn good dating strategies. And that’s what today’s episode of The Final Swipe Podcast is about. Tips! Because no one ever teaches us how to date. For today’s episode, I was joined by dating and relationships coach Emilia Nagy. She is so sunny, candid, and well versed in dating. You can tell she geeks out on this stuff, which makes her so valuable. We talk about the positive side of shame, how to overcome narcissistic relationships, and how to kill the dating game. Grab that paper and pen!In this episode we talk about: Why dating is a struggleBest dating practices for womenHow men and women date differentlyNarcissistic relationships and abuseBringing your vision to lifeLinks we mention: Emilia’s WebsiteEmilia’s InstagramHow to Pick the Right Man Checklist

There is one thing we can’t go without when dating. If we try to leave this part of us out of the process, we will be completely lost. That thing is: our feelings. Connecting to what we feel is what gives us the direction towards what we want. It’s our compass. But, sadly, we’ve also learned that feelings are bad. We either want to jump out of our bodies when they come up, or we turn them off all together. No bueno, you guys. Let’s dig into that, shall we? And to do so, I had the pleasure of conversing with feelings expert, Maddy Moon. My friends, this woman has managed to figure out how to be guided by her feelings even when she’s on dating apps! My hero, and you’re new guide. In this episode, we talk about what life looks like without feelings, what it’s like to honor even the shadow parts of ourselves, and how to embrace the deep emotions in a way that serves us. This is such a good convo. It just embodies self-acceptance — which we can never get enough of, especially while dating. Get cozy. In this episode we talk about: Feelings!The Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine and how to use it while datingWhat are our shadow qualities and how to embrace themHow to use your intuition with dating appsLinks we mention:Maddy’s Wesbite Maddy’s InstagramMaddy’s PodcastThe Feminine Spirit SchoolMaddy’s 1:1 Coaching

Chances are you’ve heard about chakras, but really, what the hell are they?In today’s episode of The Final Swipe, we talk all about the heart chakra. In my private sessions, I use the chakras to read energy, which is how I’m able to see blocks in people. When I see an imbalance in that center, it’s either too open or too closed. When I was starting out on my spiritual journey, my heart was too closed. In this episode, I talk about the heart healing that changed my life and led me to my energy reading gift. If you’re feeling your heart chakra is a little off, this is the episode for you. Let’s learn how to bring that bright green energy center back to health. Listen on!Resources1.

It's not an easy convo, but we need to have it. For those of us struggling with dating, our soul is asking us to stretch. We are going to have to put ourselves out there and challenge ourselves in a way that you've never done before. Because if we keep doing the same stuff, we're just going to see the same result, right?The stretch is scary and really uncomfortable, I get it. In order to avoid that uncomfortable feeling, we do this thing: We keep a placeholder around. A placeholder is someone we keep around as our backup plan. It's our "in case of emergency" plan. And while it seems harmless, what we don't understand is how this safety net keeps us small. When we stay small, we don't allow ourselves the true love we really desire. In today's episode of The Final Swipe podcast we talk about getting ready to release the energetic cords with these people who take up that "romantic love" space in our lives, but don't provide all that we want or need in a relationship. We also talk about how, sometimes, we keep ourselves busy with other people's lives in order to not feel the void of being alone. But the feeling of being alone is the thing that is going to push outside of our comfort zone in order to find love. So let's do this together, my friend. Let's get you ready for real love.

You’ve probably heard me talk about soulmates before because I’m pretty obsessed with clearing the air. When it comes to romantic relationships, there is not just one, person out there to love and cherish us. A soulmate is someone who has lived other lifetimes with us. Get it? Soul-Mate?So now that we’ve cleared that up, we can get into the real important stuff: manifesting a wonderful romantic relationship. And we’re going to do that today by creating a list.I know what you’re going to tell me, “Nikki, I’ve made my perfect-man checklist and all I heard were crickets.” And you know what I’ll say to that? You did it wrong. First off, manifesting is a real thing. We can call things into our lives through our thoughts and belief. Writing what we want down is physical action we can take in the manifesting process. So that’s why we make a list. But the reason your previous list did not work out was because you were coming from the wrong place.If your list said things like, “I want him to be tall, wealthy, and drive a truck,” I’m sorry to say but it’s not going to work. And here’s why. When we try to manifest things without addressing why we want it, we can attract really wonky stuff. The why is more important than the what. Our lists have to be based on how we want to feel.(Need more help with this? Check out my book "The Final Swipe," by following this link: https://www.amazon.com/Final-Swipe-Pe...)You want to attract someone who is wealthy, because maybe you want to someone to be equal to you, or because you don’t want to be taking care of someone, or because you want to feel secure. If you only write down “I want him to be wealthy,” you can attract someone who has a lot, but spends a lot. Or you can have someone who has a lot, but has a lot of debt. Now, if you create your list based off how you want to feel in the relationship, you can’t go wrong. You’re covering your basis. You would say something like, “I want to feel like an equal,” or “I want to feel financially secure,” or “I want to feel that my partner takes responsibility for himself.”When it comes to romantic relationships, what lasts is not the outside stuff. What lasts is how we feel. Our emotional needs are what need to be met. The outside stuff we’re trying to call in is the manifestation of a need. We don’t want a tall person just for the hell of it! We want a tall person, because we want to feel small and feminine. Our feelings list is this week’s spiritual assignment. Create your perfect partner manifestation list with your feelings list in mind. Here are some examples:“I don’t want to be second to his/her friends and family”“I want to feel like a priority”“I want to be able to trust and not feel like I’m going to be cheated on”“I want to feel emotionally secure and trusting”“I want to feel beautiful in his/her eyes”“I want to make sure this person is financially ok”“I want to feel financially secure”“I want to make sure this person isn’t a crazy partier”“I want to feel I’m with a partner who prioritizes his/her health”“I want to be with someone who will stick around for the hard stuff”“I want to feel I am in a mature and committed relationship, where communication is of highest importance”If you have any questions about your list, leave me a comment below. Much love always!Xo,Nikki
