📚✨ TWO BOOKS. ONE POWERFUL MESSAGE. ✨📚

Sometimes you have to walk through the shadows before you discover just how strong you really are.

Out of the Shadows tells my story.

Black Sheep Matters shares the life lessons I learned along the way. 🖤

Two very different books — but both have the same heart:

💜 Healing
💜 Self-love
💜 Boundaries
💜 Courage
💜 Finding yourself
💜 Happiness
💜 Purpose
💜 And learning that choosing yourself is NOT selfish.

📖 OUT OF THE SHADOWS – From Despair to Self-Acceptance and Love

My deeply personal memoir about the experiences that brought me to some of the darkest moments of my life — and the journey of finding my way back to myself.

And now with 110 FIVE-STAR REVIEWS, I am incredibly grateful that my story is reaching people who recognise parts of themselves within its pages. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

🖤 BLACK SHEEP MATTERS – The Life Lessons of a Black Sheep

Coming at the end of September.

This one has a very different personality!

It's honest, uplifting, sometimes cheeky and packed with the lessons life teaches us when we stop trying to fit in and finally start becoming who we really are.

Because perhaps you've never been the problem.

Perhaps you were simply never meant to follow the flock. 😉

One book tells you where I've been.
The other shares what I learned because of it.

If you're ready for a story of survival, healing and hope — start with Out of the Shadows.

And if you're ready to embrace your inner Black Sheep, protect your peace, set some boundaries and live life a little more on YOUR terms…

Black Sheep Matters is coming very soon. 👑

There was a time when I couldn't see the light ahead. Now I know it was there all along. ❤️

Out of the Shadows – From Despair to Self-Acceptance and Love is more than the story of what happened to me. It's the story of what happened after.

Of losing myself.
Of surviving.
Of learning to trust myself again.
Of finding the courage to choose me.
And, eventually, of learning that I was worthy of love — including my own.

I wrote this book because I know what it feels like to believe that life will always be the way it is today.

It won't.

Your past does not have to define your future, and the darkest chapter of your life does not have to be the final one.

If my story helps even one person feel less alone, recognise their own strength or believe that there can be something beautiful waiting beyond the shadows, then sharing it has been worthwhile.

What makes someone stay in a situation that hurts them?

Sometimes it is love.
Sometimes it is hope.
Sometimes it is fear of starting over.
Sometimes, it is simply because letting go feels harder than holding on.

But eventually, we have to ask ourselves:
Am I staying because this is where I belong, or because I am afraid of what comes next?

There are moments in life when choosing yourself becomes part of the healing journey.
What do you think makes people stay love, fear, hope, attachment, or something else?

I FOUND MYSELF AGAIN… and so can you. 🦋

For a long time, I didn't realise just how much of myself I had given away.

I became a people pleaser.
I walked on eggshells.
I lost confidence in myself.
I questioned whether I was good enough.
I put other people's happiness before my own.

Until eventually, I had to ask myself:

“What about me?”

Leaving the darkness behind was only part of my journey.

I then had to learn how to rebuild myself. To set boundaries. To trust my own decisions. To stop looking to others for my worth.

And perhaps most importantly…

I had to learn to love and accept the woman I already was.

📖 That journey became Out of the Shadows – From Despair to Self-Acceptance and Love.

This isn't simply a story about what happened to me.

It's a story about what happened afterwards.

About healing.
About rediscovering yourself.
About choosing yourself without feeling guilty.
About realising that your past does not have to determine your future.

⭐ Now with 100+ 5-star reviews.

If you're currently trying to put the pieces of yourself back together, I hope my story reminds you of something very important:

The person you thought you'd lost is still there. 💜

You can find yourself again.

And sometimes, the person you become after everything you've survived is stronger, wiser and more beautiful than you ever imagined.

📖 OUT OF THE SHADOWS — OUT NOW https://www.shieldcrest.co.uk/out-of-the-shadows/

Your past does not define you.
You are allowed to choose yourself.
Brighter days are ahead. 🦋

With love,
Nikki xx

I didn’t realise I was losing myself… until I barely recognised the woman I had become.

There was a time when I changed myself to keep the peace.

I questioned myself.
I apologised when I wasn’t always the one in the wrong.
I walked on eggshells.
I put someone else’s needs before my own.
And somewhere along the way, I began to disappear.

But that wasn't where my story ended.

I found the strength to walk away. I began the difficult journey of healing, rebuilding my confidence and learning to love and accept myself again.

I lived it.
I escaped it.
I healed from it.
Then I wrote about it.

📖 Out of the Shadows – From Despair to Self-Acceptance and Love is my true story.

I didn't write this book because I had all the answers. I wrote it because I know what it feels like to be in the darkness — and I wanted anyone standing where I once stood to know that there can be life on the other side.

⭐ Now with 100+ 5-star reviews.

If you've ever lost yourself trying to love someone else, if you've questioned your worth, or if you're trying to find yourself again…

This book is for you. 💜

From despair came healing.
From darkness came hope.
And from the shadows, I finally found me.

There are moments in life that seem insignificant at the time, but years later you realise they were quietly showing you who you were becoming.

This picture represents one of those moments from Out of the Shadows.

During lifeboat training, the guys decided to have a little fun at my expense. They left me sitting on a buoy in the estuary and teasingly sailed away! 😂

I can laugh about it now and it's one of the memories I share in my book. My time on the lifeboat came to mean something much deeper to me.

At a time when parts of my own life were falling apart, the lifeboat gave me purpose.

When that pager went off, my own problems had to be put to one side. Somebody else might need help. Somebody might be frightened, injured, stranded or desperately waiting for someone to come.

And I wanted to be that person who came.

I began to realise something about myself: no matter what I was going through personally, I wanted to help other people.

Perhaps, in some ways, helping others helped to save a part of me too.

That desire has never left me. It followed me from the lifeboat into my spiritual work, my teaching, my readings and eventually into writing Out of the Shadows.

The way I help people may have changed over the years, but the reason behind it hasn't.

I don't want anyone to feel that they have to face their darkest moments alone.

Out of the Shadows – From Despair to Self-Acceptance and Love tells the story behind the person I am today — including some of the funny, frightening and deeply personal moments that helped shape me.

I never imagined that the darkest chapters of my life would one day become a book. 💜

There were times when I felt lost, broken and invisible. Times when I questioned my own worth and wondered whether I would ever truly find myself again.

But somehow, through everything, I kept going.

Out of the Shadows – From Despair to Self-Acceptance and Love is my story.

It is raw. It is personal. And at times, it was incredibly difficult to write.

But I wrote it because I know there are other people sitting quietly behind closed doors believing they are alone in what they are experiencing.

I wanted them to know that they are not.

This isn't a story about staying in the darkness. It is about what happens when you finally begin walking out of it.

It is about survival, healing, forgiveness, learning to love yourself again and discovering that your past does not have to determine your future.

And seeing 100+ five-star reviews means more to me than I can possibly explain. Every message from somebody who says, “I saw myself in your story,” reminds me why I chose to tell it. 🦋

If you have ever felt lost, silenced, controlled, not good enough or simply wondered how you would ever find yourself again, perhaps this book will find you at exactly the right time.

You are still in there.
Your story isn't over.
And sometimes our darkest chapters really can lead us towards the light. ✨
