Is It Wellness or Dysregulation? The Truth About Mental Health & Wellness Culture
Episode 340
Wednesday, 6 May, 2026
In this episode, Nikki gets personal about her journey with anxiety and OCD — from high school through motherhood, to her 40's. She opens up about the stigma of being a health and mindset coach and a yoga and fitness instructor while also having anxiety and OCD, and why she believes in bio-individuality: there is no one-size-fits-all approach to your health and well-being. Nikki also tackles the resurgence of thinness culture, now rebranded as "wellness," and breaks down the real tools that help her manage stress — movement, breath work, co-regulation, and community. If you've ever felt like you had to earn your rest or push through everything, this episode is for you.Topics covered:Nikki's personal history with anxiety and OCDMedication, talk therapy, and holistic tools — using all of them togetherOver-exercising as a form of OCD and the shift to intuitive movementWhy your nervous system needs a foundation before anything elseThe return of thinness culture and how to protect yourself and your kidsCo-regulation and the power of communityThe difference between discipline and dysregulationAs mentioned in this episode:21 Day Mindset Reset https://stan.store/nikklanigan/p/31day-nervous-system-reset-program
