About Nikki

Nikki Johnsrud is a powerhouse of compassion, resilience, and truth. A wife to her high school sweetheart and a proud mother of two, Nikki spent two decades as a dedicated school psychologist quietly burying her own needs beneath a life of perfectionism, performance, and people-pleasing. As a self-aware, recovering high-functioning codependent, she knows firsthand what it’s like to lose yourself in the pursuit of being everything for everyone else.

​

The turning point came through unimaginable grief, the heartbreaking loss of her daughter. In the wake of that pain, Nikki made a radical choice: to stop living for the approval of others and start living in alignment with her soul. She let go of the expectations, the titles, and the noise and chose herself.

​

Thirteen years ago, she founded COPE Consulting to support professionals and families navigating behavioral challenges, but her purpose has since evolved into something deeper and more powerful. Now, Nikki stands as a guide for women ready to step into their truth, shed the masks, and rediscover who they are beneath the roles they’ve been assigned.

​

Through transformative coaching, heartfelt mentorship, powerful keynotes, and meaningful community experiences, Nikki helps women break free from burnout, reclaim their voices, and build lives rooted in courage, clarity, and unapologetic authenticity.
