Shine the Spotlight: The Psychology of Health & Business
Shine the Spotlight is a podcast about how we actually function as humans — in our health, our work, and the lives we’re trying to build. My name is Nichi Morrin, clinical psychologist, writer, lifestyle architect, and entrepreneur. I explore the psychology behind health, business, and sustainable success.
Each episode brings practical, real-world conversations at the intersection of:
Applied psychology and human behaviour
Invisible health, energy, and nervous system regulation
Business psychology, leadership, and doing work smarter — not harder
Building freedom, meaning, and a life that supports you, not just your output
This is not therapy — and it’s not hustle culture.
It’s about understanding how your mind and nervous system shape your health, your choices, and your ability to create a life and business that actually works for you.
Whether you’re a founder, professional, creative, or high-functioning human who knows there has to be a better way to live and work, Shine the Spotlight offers insight, language, and perspective to help you move forward — without burning yourself out or abandoning what matters.
Because success shouldn’t cost your health. And a good life shouldn’t be postponed.
Shine the Spotlight: The Psychology of Health & Business
Episode 1: Welcome to The Sustainable Success Series
In this inaugural episode of The Sustainable Success Series, Nichi Morrin introduces the mission behind the podcast, which is part of The Million Seen Movement. Nichi shares her deeply personal journey of overcoming invisible conditions, trauma, and adversity to achieve sustainable success in life and business. She discusses the challenges of living with invisible conditions, the importance of becoming one's biggest advocate, and the need for sustainable solutions to regain energy, purpose, and fulfillment in life.
Key Takeaways:
- The Million Seen Movement:
- A global initiative aimed at advocating for and empowering individuals living with invisible conditions to be seen, heard, and supported. Healing begins when people feel seen and heard, allowing them to re-engage with life.
- Nichi’s Journey:
- From a burnt-out, chronically unwell woman to stepping into her unique zebra stripes, Nichi's transformation involved healing on a mind, body, heart, nervous system, and soul level.
- The Zebra Metaphor:
- Zebras symbolises those living with unique, invisible conditions, who don’t fit the mold of “common horses.” The podcast encourages embracing individuality (your unique stripes) and overcoming perceived limitations.
- Transformation Tips:
- Mind: Surround yourself with supportive people, engage in intentional mornings, and practice self-reflection.
- Body: Incorporate restorative yoga, meditation, and a healthy diet.
- Soul: Connect with your authentic self, align with your values, and embrace joy and receptivity.
- Nervous System: Focus on regulation to handle growth and change.
- Redefining Success:
- Success is about a life rich with health, happiness, purpose, and stability—not just wealth. It involves doing things that ignite you without sacrificing your wellbeing.
- Final Advice:
- Don’t wait to make changes. Fear will always be present, but courage involves moving forward despite it. Start living fully now.
