My name is Nicky. I'm the creator of the Worrier to Warrior system taking you from overthinking, self doubt &amp; perfectionism to Confidence, courage &amp; certainty in all areas of your life. 6 years ago I took everything I'd learnt from my training in the Australian Army, coupled it with all of my formal learning in the field of psych and human behaviour, &amp; weaved through my personal experience &amp; observation of how clients went through their own journey of personal leadership &amp; empowerment. This is how W2W was born 🔥🔥episodicNicky Veenvlietnicky@nickythomas.com.auno<![CDATA[You’re Not Communicating -You’re Triggered (stop biting the hook) ]]>You can do years of personal development and still become dumb as shit when you’re emotionally triggered.

When you’re calm, it’s easy to know exactly how a difficult conversation should be handled.

But when you’re hurt, rejected, disappointed or feeling unseen? You don’t communicate from everything you’ve learned... you reach for the pattern that once kept you safe.

For me, hurt used to become anger. Vulnerability became sarcasm. And “I wanted to feel included” came out sounding a lot more like “Fine. Fuck you then.”

After two deeply emotional weeks with my children, I’ve had plenty of opportunities to return to those old patterns, and plenty of opportunities to choose differently.

In this episode, we’re talking about vulnerable communication, taking responsibility without tolerating other people’s bullshit, recognising the hooks that keep pulling you back into conflict, and learning to separate what’s yours from what’s theirs.

Because doing the work doesn’t mean you’ll never be triggered again.

It means the drama that once consumed you for weeks might only own you for 20 minutes.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to process emotion instead of suppressing it, distracting yourself from it or spraying it all over the wrong people.

As my eldest son prepares to leave home and join the Army, I’ve been moving through a huge, complicated grief: grieving the end of our family as we’ve always known it while being ridiculously proud of the life he’s stepping into.

I share what happened when I stopped trying to “get on with it,” gave the grief my full attention and allowed myself to cry, reflect, remember and feel the whole bloody thing.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why women are often terrified of their own anger
  • The difference between feeling an emotion and living in it
  • How suppressed emotion finds another way out
  • Why emotional processing may need safety, trust and professional support
  • What my children taught me about letting feelings move through
  • How going into my grief allowed me to come back to peace, presence and genuine joy

You do not need to rush yourself out of an emotion to prove you’re okay.

The way out is through, and if you’re afraid to go there alone, get support while you do it.

It happens slowly.

One boundary that gets ignored.
One uncomfortable interaction.
One more layer of protection.
One more part of yourself you hide because being visible has started to cost you too much.

I call it The Mosquito Effect.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I slowly made myself, and my life, smaller after leaving my marriage. Not because I was weak. Not because I lacked ambition. But because disappearing felt safer than constantly having to defend my boundaries.

We’re talking about:

• Why women shrink themselves without even realising it
• The difference between choosing peace and abandoning yourself
• How repeated tiny behaviours can erode your identity
• Why blaming yourself keeps you stuck
• The grief that comes when you finally see your relationships clearly
• How to rebuild your standards, visibility and self-trust at a pace your nervous system can hold

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, Who the fuck am I—and how did I get here? this episode is for you.

You didn’t lose yourself overnight.

And you don’t have to punish yourself for the ways you learned to survive.

It’s time to come back.

Welcome to my house. 🖤

The House of Nicky Vee wasn’t born from a polished business plan.

It came from betrayal. Rebuilding. Taking the stage and telling the story I’d spent years protecting everyone else from.

It came from recognising how easily women can forget who they are—not in one dramatic moment, but through the thousand tiny moments when we stay quiet, let something go, explain away our hurt or make ourselves responsible for everybody else’s comfort.

And it came from remembering who the fuck I am.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• The deeply personal story I was terrified to tell on stage
• How protecting someone else’s reputation kept me from processing my own pain
• Why external validation can’t replace knowing who you are
• The tiny acts of self-abandonment that slowly chip away at your identity
• How my own comeback became the foundation of the House
• Why alignment can feel both exhilarating and absolutely terrifying
• The vision behind each room inside the House of Nicky Vee
• What it means to build a community where women are supported until they can fully back themselves

The House of Nicky Vee is bigger than a new program or business model.

It’s a place for women to remember who the FCK they are—and make whatever they want next happen.

Because if you truly want to find a way, we’ll find one.

And I’ll help you get out of your own fucking way.

Takeaways

  • Identifying and addressing roadblocks requires deeper work and understanding the underlying reasons.
  • Transformation goes beyond information and requires confronting discomfort and resistance.

Here's what I have to say.

There are two reasons you keep hitting the same the wall in life or career, 1. You're not doing the work to get below the surface or 2. You're getting something out of it.

EP3. You can't hate yourself into someone that you love (Despite what you've been told) ]]> In this episode I talk to the importance of self-love and personal development, fitness and wellbeing from a place of self-worth rather than punishment. Sharing insights from my current 21-day reset challenge, highlighting the significance of mindset, self-talk, and the power of language in shaping our experiences. I share the difference between self-worth and self-esteem, offering practical tips for you, the listeners a new perspective on self-esteem and overall well-being. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to embrace their journey of self-improvement and celebrate their small wins.

takeaways

Invest in yourself from a place of self-love.

Self-development should come from a place of deserving, not punishment.

Mindset and self-talk are crucial in personal growth. Self-worth is your measure against yourself; self-esteem is against others.

Language shapes our reality; changing our language can change our mindset.

Celebrate small wins to build momentum in self-improvement.

Gratitude can shift your perspective and improve your mood.

You are innately worthy and valuable, regardless of external validation.

Personal development is about embodying the work, not just ticking boxes.

You have the power to choose what works for you in your journey. Chapters

I’ll share the messy bits of my healing (yep, the ones we’d all rather hide), how I had to get brutally honest with myself, and the surprising way I found my way back to passion and purpose.

We’ll talk about why self-worth is non-negotiable, how community can hold you up when you’re done pretending to have it all together, and why telling the real story (not the Instagram highlight reel) is where the magic happens.

Most importantly, I’ll remind you that trusting yourself and choosing growth over survival is the difference between existing and actually living. And of course, I’ll let you in on what’s next for this podcast and the coaching work I’m here to do.

So buckle up—this one’s raw, real, and maybe the permission slip you’ve been waiting for.

Ep 6: When Empathy Turns Into Being an Emotional Mule]]>In this episode, I dive into the whole messy idea of toxic empathy—yep, that thing we do when caring for others turns into completely abandoning ourselves. I’ll share some of my own experiences (because let’s be real, I’ve done this more than once), and unpack how empathy crosses the line from compassion into self-sacrifice. We’ll talk boundaries, what it really means to hold space without losing yourself in the process, and some practical ways to shift from toxic empathy into a healthier, more empowered version. By the end, you’ll be reflecting on your own patterns and hopefully realising that it’s possible to care deeply about others without constantly putting yourself last.


takeaways

  • Toxic empathy can lead to self-abandonment.
  • Setting boundaries is crucial for emotional health.
  • Empathy should not come at the cost of your own well-being.
  • Recognizing when you are taking on others' emotional burdens is key.
  • Healthy arrogance is necessary to reclaim your space.
  • You can be compassionate without losing yourself.
  • Self-awareness is essential in managing empathy.
  • It's important to discern whose emotions you are carrying.
  • Learning to receive help is part of personal growth.
  • Empowered empathy allows for connection without self-sacrifice.

Ep1. Embracing Authenticity: A Journey of Self-Care]]>In this episode of the Warrior to Warrior podcast, Nicky shares her journey of self-discovery and personal growth after taking a three-month break for self-care.

She emphasises the importance of authenticity, setting boundaries, and recognising limiting beliefs. Nicky discusses the nuances of self-love versus self-respect and the significance of conflict in creating deeper connections.

Through her experiences, she encourages listeners to challenge their beliefs, embrace their emotions, and prioritise their well-being, delving into the importance of self-care, self-respect, and personal growth.

She emphasise's the need for women to treat themselves with the same care they would give to a golden goose, highlighting the issue with the "fill your own cup" message given to many Women. The discussion transitions into navigating the liminal space of personal growth, addressing the challenges faced when the fight for survival is over, and the importance of deep listening in relationships.

She also touches on the impact of judgment and the necessity of walking your own path at your own pace, encouraging listeners to embrace their individuality and self-worth.
