Welcome to Round Two, a show highlighting the dreamers, the doers, and the ones who stood at the edge of something new, took the leap, and began building lives with more meaning and purpose.
I’m Nikki Corbett, a speaker, writer, traveler, and everyday woman who chose to start over.
Round Two was born from my own journey of letting go, rebuilding, and finding purpose in a new chapter. I’ve wandered, in both the literal and emotional sense, and I’ve come to believe that change, while often messy, is where the real story begins.
In this podcast, you'll hear honest conversations about life transitions, stories that remind you you're not alone, and insight to help you feel clearer and more grounded as you move forward.
We'll talk about real moments of change. Big decisions. Brave pivots. Fresh starts.
You'll hear from people who stepped off the path they were on and created something more aligned with who they really are.
Whether you're thinking about a career shift, a personal reset, or just wondering what else is possible, you'll find something here.
If you're looking for stories about finding purpose, doing the hard thing, and choosing change even when it’s uncomfortable, this podcast is for you!
So pop on your headphones, get comfortable, and get ready to be inspired. It’s time for your Round Two.
Nikki

All Round Two episodes will stay live on all platforms, but I'm launching a brand new podcast called The Scarlet Edit on July 10th. Why start over instead of pivoting? It's all about training the...
What would you do if, in just one moment, everything changed?

Is there a quiet tug at your soul, a whisper that you're meant for more, even when life looks “fine” on the outside? Maybe it's not emptiness. Maybe it's your soul inviting you into something deeper.

Hey everyone! In this solo episode, I'm wrapping up March with all the highlights from my incredible 2.5-week adventure in Mexico's Baja Peninsula.
