Summary
"Whatever God is calling you to do, own it and do it. Now."
-Devon Franklin via IG
If I had waited on the big platforms and networks to green-light this show last year, to see it as a necessary idea, I'd still be waiting. If I had waited on the fear of launching alone, or the fear of failing, or the fear of feeling naked for sharing my Heart, or the fear of not feeling ready to subside before I could launch, I'd still be waiting. I had to see the fear, feel the fear, and also, feel for Love. And you have to do that, too! Only the Love is real, and It's your North Star.

| 0:36.0 | to just be before I had to be Nikki for my family. The idea came, the impulse came to |
| 0:44.5 | create a daily show. I knew how important these mornings were in my life, like how important |
| 0:52.1 | it was to turn toward love every day and to intend to stay in and has that love all day. |
| 0:59.9 | And I want it to share because that's what I've always done. Whatever I'm on, I'm sharing |
| 1:04.7 | because I can't help but do that. And so I reached out to platforms like Apple, I |
| 1:10.7 | heart to pitch the idea and I didn't get any response. Note like crickets. And so one |
| 1:19.6 | day in May after a chat with a friend, I realized I have to do this alone. I have to go this |
| 1:25.9 | alone. And so I took a picture. I took of myself on my roof for Instagram because I was |
| 1:32.3 | trying to take more selfies because I don't post on Instagram if you have not noticed. |
| 1:38.0 | And I'm like, ah, this will make a good cover. And I started recording episodes and did |
| 1:45.2 | research on podcasting and platforms for independent creatives and learned about best practices |
| 1:52.7 | and found an editor and then quickly learned that no one can edit this but me too. So that's |

| 2:12.3 | day and I have to make it into a coherent message. And so again, an inside impulse was like |
| 2:20.8 | June, you go no matter what you go in June. And so I launch and I start sharing Monday |
| 2:29.5 | through Friday and then with feedback and my emails and my DMs, I start hitting Saturday |
| 2:35.5 | and Sunday too Monday through Sunday and July 2021. Love appeared as Angel Leigh brought |
| 2:46.4 | me to the breakfast club. By August, those same platforms that I reached out to reached |
| 2:56.2 | out to me. They reached out to me. I declined a six figure offer from I heart and it wasn't |
