  • Beyond Better: Transforming Business & Life with Heather Nickel
    Aug 13 2025

    Join host JaLynn of Women of Influence Podcast as she welcomes transformational mindset coach Heather Nickel to the Women of Influence Podcast. In this inspiring episode, Heather shares her remarkable journey from corporate burnout to becoming a successful coach helping entrepreneurial women build businesses aligned with their dream lifestyles.

    Episode Highlights:

    - Heather's personal transformation story - from breaking free of an unhealthy cycle of corporate work and alcohol dependence to creating a thriving coaching business


    - The evolution of her coaching practice: from Allura Health and Wellness helping women with autoimmune issues to The Sober Effect RX supporting women in alcohol-free living, to her current work at Beyond Better Life


    - Practical techniques for regulating your nervous system and clearing mental noise, including grounding exercises and visualization practices


    - How changing language patterns (replacing "I should" with "I choose") can transform your mindset and business approach


    - The importance of designing a business that aligns with your lifestyle, rather than following someone else's blueprint


    - Why feeling "uncoachable" might be exactly why coaching would benefit you

    Heather's virtual coaching practice allows her to work with women worldwide, helping them clear mental blocks, regulate emotions, and build successful businesses without burnout. Meanwhile, JaLynn shares how she's revolutionized real estate by working virtually while traveling internationally.

    This conversation between longtime friends showcases how both women have transformed their businesses to create freedom and fulfillment on their own terms.

    As Heather reminds us in her closing wisdom: "There is no ceiling to what you can accomplish. Dream big, then times it by 10. Anything is possible when you align your mindset with your dreams."
