Life & Work with Kiki Nikole

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kiki Nikole.

Hi Kiki, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers.
My story starts from an early age. I can remember growing up being involved in a leadership role in one way or another, whether it was being a dedicated and above-average student or a lead on a sports team. When I got older, I realized that I wanted to study visual communications which eventually led to studying psychology, specifically human behavior. Throughout college, I was able to travel and learn many skills involving customer service and hospitality. After college, I decided to continue my travels by volunteering and dedicating my time to teaching English as a second language, aside from volunteering with a variety of organizations and clubs. Years later after meeting friends from around the world, I decided to use my skills and knowledge with opening my own business, which is Toadstone Mountain Trading Co. As a meditation coach and artist, I am most proud of knowing I am helping make the world a better, and more beautiful place. My specialty is through the view of a teleidoscope (which you can find out more about in my Blog online).

When I curate my videos and designs, for instance, I put a lot of effort into what I am producing. The process behind those designs is what sets my art apart from others – I hand-select each quality piece of minerals, food, or other elements just for you. And because the teleidoscope is the perfect symbol for “Looking Within”, I have integrated my formal education in Psychology with the visual content that I create online. I am passionate about coaching, and the teleidoscope is the bridge between fun and wellness. Since starting Toadstone Mountain, I have also evolved by creating a YouTube channel (@TMTCVIBEHIGHRADIO) – this is the perfect outlet for my creative visions, which now include more music and healing frequencies for the human body. I have come a long way, and look forward to the road ahead of me.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road has not always been smooth – I have had to face many challenges along the way. For example, in early 2022 I left my position with the State of California – Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation due to my religious beliefs and to avoid getting vaccinated. This decision has ultimately opened new doors and has allowed me to share my talents as an artist and holistic meditation coach.

Because of my choices, I have had to start my life over completely. The challenges have made me stronger and more creative. I especially appreciate the capability of owning my power and staying true to myself, and I sincerely hope to help others embrace their strengths and similar capabilities overall on their journey.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
As an artist and businesswoman, I have created the meditation lifestyle brand Toadstone Mountain Trading Co (TMTC). Meditation has been proven to be beneficial for stress relief, relaxation, improving fatigue, and clarity of mind. With our services and products, it is now easier than ever to access healing for your mind. At TMTC, we integrate videography, photography, and fashion to encourage and support you on your path to wellness. We combine new-world and old-world technologies, bringing you thoughtful and unique art. All of my work is genuine and created from a place of love. I am a firm believer in helping myself by helping others. For instance, on YouTube (@TMTCVIBEHIGHRADIO), the videos are specifically curated for your meditation needs, and now that more frequency healing sounds are available we are overall able to help inspire and motivate you on your journey. Let the teleidoscope be a friendly reminder to “Look Within” – the intention with the videos is for you to reference at any time whether it is watching a teleidoscope music video tuned at 528 Hertz, or listening to the latest story from TMTC Virtual Storytime Hour.

There is also the ability to join as a VIBE TRIBE Member at ToadstoneMountain.com, where you get special perks such as special coupons, which are called “crystal codes” – these codes will help you save on merchandise from our meditation shop. The shop carries a variety of products meant to help motivate the physical part of your journey. The designs found in the shop come from the photography that is extracted from the videos produced on YouTube – each design is put on leggings, hoodies, and a variety of other meditation tools. All of the videos and designs are clever, authentic, and adventurous. At ToadstoneMountain.com, you are also able to access other programs and services including our DEVOTIONALwarrior 10-Day Meditation Transformation, and our wellness blog.

Networking and finding a mentor can have a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Networking is one of the best ways to build your team and your brand. Try to stay positive and open-minded – some of the best advice or inspiration may come when you least expect it.
