We had the good fortune of connecting with Nikki Jordan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nikki, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Honestly, the thought of becoming an entrepreneur never crossed my mind! I was content with discovering my passion and following it in a regular 9-5 job. Confidence at any Size originated from a bad breakup. During the relationship, I faced emotional abuse, particularly regarding my body size. A few months after the breakup, as I was beginning my healing journey, I looked at myself in the mirror and realized my beauty, contrary to what I was made to believe. This realization led me to post a selfie on Instagram with the caption “I was feeling myself before work this morning, had to get a bathroom selfie…#confidenceatanysize.” And with that Confidence at any Size was born! After a few more posts under the same hashtag, I launched a new Instagram page and officially started the business.

Since then, the business has expanded far beyond its physical representation and has evolved to symbolize various aspects such as financial stature, educational influence, and more. It’s crucial to have confidence in your current identity as it will drive you towards your desired destination.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am still learning the ins and outs of business. I am grateful for the individuals whom God has placed in my life to guide me in navigating and advancing in business, like my mentor, Dr. Kristen Guillory, and my team who assist me in tackling the daily business challenges.

The biggest lesson I have learned in business is to allow God to guide you in your business, keep your integrity, and to always be a student. Embracing lifelong learning ensures that you remain adaptable and open to new ideas, which is crucial in an ever-evolving marketplace. Maintaining integrity builds trust with your clients, partners, and employees, fostering long-term relationships and a positive reputation. By seeking divine guidance, you align your actions with a higher purpose, bringing a sense of fulfillment and moral clarity to your endeavors. Balancing these principles creates a strong foundation for sustainable success and personal growth, enabling you to navigate challenges in business with grace and confidence.

I want the world to know that I love people, because God loves people and He commanded me to do the same. I believe I am meant to assist individuals in fostering stronger connections and positive relationships to contribute to a kinder world. This is the essence of Confidence at any Size – supporting you in improving self-love to enhance your ability to love others.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I tend to enjoy the comfort of home and appreciate life’s simple pleasures, so I might need to search for exciting activities, haha. Nevertheless, regardless of the plan, I would definitely take them to my favorite spot, Cheddars. Not for its extravagance, but for its affordable yet delicious food and drinks, offering a wide selection. You can enjoy a complete meal with starters, drinks, and dessert for less than $40. That’s always a win in my book!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My parents deserve all the credit for instilling fundamental skills and values in me. They emphasized the importance of prioritizing love for God, putting trust in Him, and demonstrating Christ’s love to others – lessons that remain close to my heart.

I also want to give a special mention to my best friend, Alysha. She encouraged me to discover my true calling in education, leading me to uncover my passion for empowering young girls’ confidence and helping educators build stronger connections with their students. Her consistent encouragement for me to pursue a teaching certification has played a significant role in shaping my career to where it stands today.
