Dr. Nikki Clarke is an award-winning media entrepreneur, educator, author, and community leader whose life’s mission is to empower others through storytelling and purpose. As the founder and host of The Nikki Clarke Show and CEO of The Nikki Clarke Network, she has become a powerful voice for transformation, amplifying diverse perspectives across Canada and beyond. Live Wabi Sabi features Nikki for her unwavering spirit of resilience and authenticity, a woman who turned broken moments into golden lessons and continues to remind others that life’s cracks are where the light shines through.
Her Wabi Sabi Life Story
Born in Kingston, Jamaica, and raised in Montreal, Dr. Nikki Clarke’s journey has been one of faith, courage, and restoration. A defining moment came when she experienced betrayal from those she trusted deeply, personally and professionally. Though it shattered her confidence, she chose not to hide her pain. Through faith, reflection, and forgiveness, Nikki mended her heart with gold, self-love, prayer, and purpose. Today, she uses her platform, books, and workshops to help others heal, rise, and rediscover strength through storytelling. Her life is a living example that beauty often blooms from brokenness.
Her Thoughts on Self-Love
For Nikki, self-love isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence. It’s the quiet moments of prayer before dawn, journaling her reflections, saying “no” to what drains her, and “yes” to what nourishes her soul. Some days, it’s about recharging in silence; other days, it’s showing up for her commitments even when she’s tired, out of respect for her purpose. Real self-love, as she describes it, is choosing grace over guilt and peace over pressure, one imperfect day at a time.
Her Proudest Moment
Celebrating the 17th anniversary of The Nikki Clarke Show stands as one of her most powerful milestones. Surrounded by guests, friends, and supporters, Nikki reflected on every challenge and triumph that shaped her journey. That celebration wasn’t just about longevity, it was about legacy. It symbolized years of storytelling that gave countless individuals a voice and reminded her why she started: to transform lives through the power of shared experiences.
Being Part of Wabi Sabi Stories
To Nikki, being part of Wabi Sabi Stories means embracing imperfection as an art form and authenticity as strength. It’s about celebrating the unpolished parts of life, the struggles, setbacks, and scars that tell our truest stories. She believes that Wabi Sabi living is about honoring the unfinished, finding peace in impermanence, and recognizing that healing is a continuous masterpiece in progress. Through her journey, she invites others to see their flaws not as failures, but as evidence of resilience and divine design.
Her Biggest Cheerleader
Her father, the Very Rev. Father Peter Clarke, has been her greatest pillar of strength. His faith, humility, and quiet wisdom have guided her through life’s storms. He has been her moral compass, reminding her of her purpose whenever doubt crept in. His unconditional love and prayers have shaped Nikki’s character, teaching her to lead with compassion and serve with grace. She celebrates him, and all those like him, who lift others with faith and unwavering support.
Her Message to Other Women
“You are not broken, you are becoming.” Nikki’s words carry the essence of her journey. Every scar, disappointment, and detour has meaning. Her advice: Don’t rush your healing; embrace it. Comparison robs joy, so honor your growth and stay true to your lane. Beauty lives in authenticity, not perfection. By accepting yourself, you empower others to do the same. Keep showing up, even when it’s hard, your light will lead someone else out of their darkness.
