Nikki Langman joins Angie on the podcast to share her expertise on emotional intelligence, self-mastery, and self-leadership.
Nikki shares her personal story of addiction, shame, and vulnerability. Starting at age 15, she was in and out of addiction treatment and recovery for 20 years.
Nikki talks about emotional intelligence and vulnerability as the path to greatness. Nikki says, “When we feel worthy of greatness, then other people will start to believe us. If we don’t feel we’re worthy of greatness, then other people will let us be in the shadows.”
This episode will empower you to step out of the shadows and begin your journey to self-mastery and greatness!

Big Ideas Inside This Episode
- You must put yourself first if you have any chance of being great for other people.
- If we don’t understand ourselves, then we have no chance of understanding anybody else. If we can’t serve ourselves first, then we don’t have enough to give to other people.
- “I opened the door for vulnerability and confidence walked out.”
- When you have felt stigmatized or shamed it’s a powerful motivator for silence.
- Nikki overcame 20 years of addiction with the help of emotional intelligence and being honest with herself.
- There is so much power in our self-talk. What we think we will become.
- There is comfort in numbers and being part of a group, but to be worthy of greatness it requires you to leave the safety of the group and stand out.
- You cannot be outstanding unless you stand out. That can be a very vulnerable place and requires that you let people see you.
- The wisest thing you can ever do is be on your own side. (Attributed to Maya Angelou)
- When we feel worthy of greatness, then other people will start to believe us. If we don’t feel we’re worthy of greatness, then other people will let us be in the shadows.
- Create an environment of safe people – people you can give permission to call you out on your bad behaviours and will not personalize your attack.
- Be honest with yourself and fill your tank first.
