About Coach Nikki

Hi, I’m Nikki Toste, and if you’ve found your way here, it’s probably because you are ready for more — more clarity, more confidence, more peace, and maybe just a little more you in your life again.

 

I was born in Long Beach, California but grew up in Northern California, surrounded by mountain breezes, good energy, and a deep appreciation for connection — to people, animals, and purpose. For 19 years, I poured my heart into veterinary medicine, working as a registered veterinary technician. That career taught me more than science or structure; it taught me compassion, patience, and the incredible impact of showing up for others — even when they can’t always communicate what they need.

 

But somewhere along the way, as I became a wife and a mom to four amazing kids, I realized I had stopped showing up fully for myself. My life looked “busy and successful” from the outside, but inside, I felt like I was on autopilot — serving everyone else while my own identity and joy slipped into the background.

 

That’s when everything began to shift.

 

In 2018, I started my journey in network marketing, and it completely changed the way I saw possibility. For the first time, I was introduced to personal development — and I fell head over heels for growth. What started as a side business quickly became a pathway to discovering who I really was beneath all the roles and responsibilities.

 

Over the past six plus years, I’ve led, mentored, and coached my team and others to step into their own power, build confidence, and chase goals they never thought possible. Coaching them became the best part of what I did — watching women light up when they realized their worth, their voice, and their potential. That’s when I knew coaching wasn’t just something I was good at… it was what I was meant to do.

 

Now, I’m a Certified Life Coach through the Life Coach Training Institute, and I’ve built my own multifaceted business helping women find themselves again — beyond the chaos, the to-do lists, and the expectations. My focus is on helping people create calm, rediscover joy, and rebuild confidence one step at a time.

 

I’ve truly become a personal growth junkie — I’ve read close to 200 personal development books (and counting), and I still spend at least an hour a week on leadership and mindset training with my network marketing company. Growth isn’t just something I talk about — it’s something I live. Every week, every book, every conversation is an opportunity to become a little more grounded, more self-aware, and more intentional.

 

When my family and I moved to Arizona in 2023, it marked a whole new chapter — one where I really embraced being a stay-at-home mom and entrepreneur, building a business that aligns with my heart and allows me to help others do the same. My life now is far from “perfect,” but it’s purposeful. I’ve learned that balance doesn’t mean having it all together — it means learning how to breathe through the chaos, trust the process, and create space for what truly matters.

 

What makes me different as a coach isn’t just my certifications or my experience — it’s my perspective. I’ve lived the seasons of burnout, self-doubt, identity loss, and reinvention. I’ve navigated motherhood, divorce, losing loved ones, getting remarried, moving states, entrepreneurship, and massive career transitions. I know what it feels like to want change but not know where to start. And I also know what it takes to turn that spark into transformation.

 

If you’re looking for a coach who’s been in the trenches — who’s done the hard work of rebuilding from the inside out and who believes that growth is a lifelong adventure — then I might just be the right fit for you.

 

Because here’s what I know for sure:

You are capable of more than you think. You deserve to feel calm, confident, and connected again. And I would be honored to help you find that version of yourself — the one that’s always been there, just waiting for permission to rise.
