BB26-20. Nikki Mahy, Loss to Empowerment


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Nikki Mahy, on air from May 19th

I became a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) because I wanted to help people improve their financial health. At the young age of 16, I experienced a loss that forever changed my family. I watched my mum step into the role of head of our household, and in that moment, I knew I needed to have the tools to navigate life independently.  As women, we often put our own needs on the back burner while focusing on solving or fixing everyone else’s. As a financial planner, I have the privilege of listening closely to what truly matters to my clients and helping them develop a plan that builds financial confidence so they can direct their time, energy, and resources toward the areas of life that matter most to them.

Nikki began her career in financial services in 2003, working in a variety of roles that gave her a well-rounded understanding of the many challenges clients face throughout their financial journeys. It was when she moved into the wealth management division that she discovered her true calling. Nikki is deeply committed to taking the time to truly listen to and understand each client, recognizing that every person’s financial goals, needs, and life circumstances are unique. Working alongside a comprehensive team of professionals, she strives to provide objective, holistic, and client-focused solutions in areas such as investment management, retirement and tax planning, business succession, estate planning, and wealth transfer strategies.

In addition to holding the Certified Financial Planner designation, Nikki is also a Responsible Investment Specialist, reflecting her commitment to thoughtful and sustainable financial planning. Beyond her professional work, she is passionate about giving back to her community, volunteering her time with the Nanaimo & District Lacrosse Association and actively participating in the Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce.

Born and raised in the beautiful Comox Valley, Nikki later relocated to Nanaimo to support her son’s dream of excelling in the sport of lacrosse. When she is not working with clients or cheering from the lacrosse field, Nikki enjoys staying active with her dog, exploring the city and the surrounding areas she is proud to now call home.

BB26-16. Ashley Huegi & Go-Bundance Women


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Ashley Huegi, on air from April 21st.

Keynote Speaker | Founder, The AND Life™ | Vice President of Growth & Impact, GoBundance Women

My “why” was born from burnout. I followed the rules, built success, and checked the boxes— yet felt disconnected from myself, my family, and the life I was working so hard to build. Through that breaking point, I discovered that success without alignment quietly erodes our joy, health, and sense of self. Today, my purpose is to help women remember who they are beneath the hustle, reconnect with what truly matters, and build lives and businesses that feel grounded, meaningful, and whole. I believe women were never meant to choose between ambition and presence—we were built for both.

BB26-13. Gayle Marie Morrison & The Clarity Compass 


Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Gayle Marie Morrison, on air from March 31st

Messaging Alchemy: Turning Your Story into a Business Magnet”
Every entrepreneur has a story, but few know how to craft it into a message that moves people to action. This episode unpacks the psychology and heart behind storytelling in business, how to turn your lessons, experiences, and even struggles into magnetic brand messaging that converts.
Your story is not just your past; it’s your positioning power. When told strategically, it transforms from a narrative into your most valuable marketing asset.

My “why” has always been rooted in transformation. I help purpose-driven entrepreneurs find their voice, own their story, and build businesses that reflect who they truly are. Through my own journey, I’ve learned that visibility without alignment leads to burnout, but when your message mirrors your mission, it becomes magnetic. Over the years, I’ve evolved from simply creating marketing strategies to guiding others through clarity, confidence, and conscious communication. What drives me now is witnessing that moment when someone realizes they can lead, serve, and prosper without compromising their authenticity. My work is about helping people be seen for who they are, not just what they sell, because that’s where true business growth and impact begin.
