Episode #17 with Nikki Tiedeman: from travel to mindfulness coach

Welcome to episode #17 of the Career Pivot Podcast, hosted by Bec Sands. This episode is available on Spotify, Stitcher, iTunes and Google Podcasts, and if you enjoy it, I would love it if you could please subscribe and leave me a review.

In today’s podcast episode, I interview Nikki Tiedeman, Founder of Slow Coaching Co. and a mindfulness slow-life coach, meditation and yoga teacher who works with successful professionals and solopreneurs who are ready to quit burnout and busy. She enables them to slow down, regain balance, their connection to self and shift from 'just' surviving to thriving in life.

Nikki began her career in the travel industry before pivoting into her own coaching business.
