  • 07: COME HOME TO YOURSELF
    2023/12/21

    Thanks for diving into the void with me, Nikki Vergakes, your queer and neurodivergent astrologer, hypnotherapist, and business, life coach and content mentor. I hope you found lots of meaning and color in this liminal space!


    In this episode, I talk all about the SELF, and its relation to others, a group and the collective!


    I describe the spiritual self - your soul, your heart, how YOU know yourself. That’s one of the parts of yourself that I discuss in the episode (and yes, I also touch on PARTS WORK and Internal Family Systems, one of the tools I use in my coaching practice).


    We cover why it’s important to have a good relationship with yourself if you want to be a productive member of any community. It’s easier to advocate for your needs, start discussions and make change if you’re confident in who you are and what you’re saying.


    Being vulnerable and confiding in others is like jumping off of a cliff, and being able to CATCH yourself helps you be more confident in doing that!


    I also demystify all of the self buzzwords I use like self trust, self confidence, self awareness, radical self acceptance, self advocacy and more. You’ll learn why they’re important and what they are!

  • 06: FINDING MY PURPOSE AFTER BURNOUT
    2023/12/07

    Thanks for diving into the void with me, Nikki Vergakes, your queer and neurodivergent astrologer, hypnotherapist, and business, life coach and content mentor. I hope you found lots of meaning and color in this liminal space!


    In this episode, I share my journey of healing my burnout and finding my purpose through it. I share the symptoms to watch of burnout, my definition of the term, how burnout can occur, and how to heal your burnout.


    I outline the steps:

    1. Acceptance

    2. Tune into your body's clues and energy signals to give yourself what you need

    3. Do things for NO REASON, and just for pleasure

    4. Experiment, do things to see if they work, drop if they don't, don't get attached to a new identity or routine just yet

    5. Co-regulate with other humans

    6. Find your true identity, goals and values. Who are you really?

    7. Create a new routine/flow that is aligned and that won't burn you out


    I share my journey over the past MANY years, and give some revealing examples. I've had a VERY long, drawn-out relationship with burnout and I'd love if my experience can give you some insight and shorten yours!!

  • 05: SUPERCHARGE YOUR HEALING VIA COMMUNITY
    2023/11/21

    Thanks for diving into the void with me, Nikki Vergakes, your queer and neurodivergent astrologer, hypnotherapist, and business, life coach and content mentor. I hope you found lots of meaning and color in this liminal space!


    In this episode, I talk all about my experience with community. I talked about how being in community supercharges your healing, my journey building community for myself and how being in community helps the whole collective.


    I used to dread showing up for my business and the world before I found my people! You don't have to do this alone. Now, I feel like my village around me can support me in my life so I can really show up for them and the collective.


    HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE BUT HEALED PEOPLE HELP PEOPLE!


    I walk you through exactly how healing in community can help you heal more effectively and quicker!

  • 04: HYPNOTHERAPY + NEURODIVERGENT BRAINS = A HAPPY COUPLE (IMHO)
    2023/11/09

    Thanks for diving into the void with me, Nikki Vergakes, your queer and neurodivergent astrologer, hypnotherapist, and business, life coach and content mentor. I hope you found lots of meaning and color in this liminal space!


    In this episode, I outline why hypnotherapy is great for neurodivergent brains. I explain what “neurodivergent” means in this context, and what specifically about these kids of brains sets it up to be healed by subconscious work so well.


    I discuss common symptoms like rejection-sensitive dysphoria, sensory and audio-processing issues, and more. I discuss how these brains use metaphors and symbolic language and visuals to communicate - which happens to be the language of the subconscious. It’s a great fit!


    Subconscious healing can be way more effective quicker than traditional therapy. If you’re neurodivergent and are looking for a new way to heal, why not try hypnotherapy?


    I ALSO LAUNCHED A NEW OFFER: 3 CALL PACKS!


    This container is a portal for you to get out of your own way! 3 calls gives us more than enough time to figure out our game plan, clear what’s in your way, make your plan moving forward and get started. If you’ve been craving working with me, and want to smash your goals while showing yourself love and gently and effectively facing what’s blocking you.


    Book yours in my sessions landing page! You’ll start by booking an initial 90-minute session, and choose what kind of session you want. The type and time of the two subsequent sessions will be decided after the first session.


    If you’re on the fence, book a $33 subconscious assessment! DM me and let’s chat.

  • 02: BUT WHY DOES HEALING FEEL SO BAD ACTUALLY...
    2023/10/12

    Thanks for diving into the void with me, Nikki Vergakes, your queer and neurodivergent astrologer, hypnotherapist, and business, life coach and content mentor. I hope you found lots of meaning and color in this liminal space!


    Soooo you started your healing journey and you're feeling kinda... bad?


    You may feel directionless or without purpose.

    You're tired all the time. You sleep and sleep and rest and rest and could still keep sleeping.

    You have zero motivation.

    You have random ailments like gut issues or headaches.

    You feel like nobody knows you anymore, including yourself.

    Things that were easy to do before are boulders now.


    Is it really supposed to be like this?


    No one tells you that a healing journey is starting over. The old you is dying. You're grieving your past even though you know that it wasn't serving you.


    You have glimpses of the new you, but you're a blank slate. In a world that constantly demands to know who you are and what you do, you don't have answers.


    I break down why and how this is all happening in this podcast episode!

  • 01: LET'S DIVE INTO THE SHADOW REALM TOGETHER
    2023/09/28

    Thanks for diving into the void with me, Nikki Vergakes, your queer and neurodivergent astrologer, hypnotherapist, and business, life coach and content mentor. I hope you found lots of meaning and color in this liminal space!


    In this FIRST episode of the Liminal Lounge, I introduce the podcast, what to expect every week, and my approach to what I do and the lens through which I see the world. Then, we answer the question that will set the foundation of this podcast: WHAT IS SHADOW WORK?


    I break down this concept that is misunderstood yet everyone has an opinion on. This is how I do it and the importance of shadow work!
