Nikki Walton is the host of the popular GoOD Mornings podcast and founder of a successful curly hair company – one which donates 10% of its proceeds to the homeless. Nikki’s unexpected success and spotlight created a spiritual crisis. To deal, she turned to meditation which eventually inspired her podcast - 5-minute meditations to start the day. Similarly to how Nikki helped so many people find love and care for their hair, her new book - WAKE UP TO LOVE (HarperOne; November 19, 2024; $24.99) - helps people of all backgrounds nurture their souls and discover love within and for their whole selves. The book is for beginners of meditation and experts alike and can be a daily supplement for some readers, and a spiritual exemplar for others. The book gathers the 52 best episodes Nikki has recorded so far on her chart-topping podcast: GoOD Mornings. Each is crystalized and accompanied by prompts for further reflection, organized around the principles of: Finding Love, Sustaining Love, Being Love, Spreading Love. Unexpected success created a spiritual crisis for Nikki, which ultimately led her to search her soul, scour religious texts, and come into closer connection with the divine in her daily life. This inspired GoOD Mornings, 5-minute meditations centering love and spirit to start the day, a popular podcast which has established her as a spiritual leader.
