“A real master knows that we’re always a student and we’re always learning and you’ll never there, whatever there is.”
In this episode of the Onkens World Podcast, I am thrilled to welcome Nicky Clinch, a master maturation coach with over 16 years of experience in training and facilitating body-mind maturation. We dive deep into the concept of body-mind maturation, a unique body of knowledge that Nicky has developed, which emphasizes the importance of maturation over mere transformation.
Nicky explains that while transformation suggests a sudden change into a new version of oneself, maturation is a continuous process of outgrowing old identities and ways of being. This process is essential for our evolution as human beings, and it is intricately linked to ontology, the science and nature of being. We discuss how our experiences shape our identities and how many of us are trapped in repetitive patterns of suffering due to our unawareness of these mechanisms.
Throughout our conversation, Nicky shares her personal journey from a troubled past marked by addiction and bulimia to becoming a coach dedicated to helping others. She emphasizes that true healing and change come from understanding the deeper roots of our suffering and recognizing the universal structures that govern our experiences as human beings.
We also explore the concept of identity, particularly how it is formed during childhood and how it can become a blind spot that limits our perception of ourselves. Nicky highlights the importance of consciousness and self-responsibility in breaking free from these limitations. She provides insights into how we can begin to recognize and address our blind spots, especially when we find ourselves in spirals of negative thought patterns.
As we shift the conversation towards business, Nicky discusses how body-mind maturation principles apply to entrepreneurship. She explains that our businesses are reflections of our inner worlds and that the challenges we face in our professional lives often mirror our personal struggles. By taking ownership of our experiences and understanding the resonance we emit, we can create more authentic and successful businesses.
Nicky shares her own transformative journey over the past year, including significant shifts in her health and business. She candidly discusses the impact of shedding physical weight as a manifestation of her internal changes and how this has led to greater success and fulfillment in her work.
This episode is a profound exploration of the interconnectedness of our inner and outer worlds, the importance of maturation in our personal and professional lives, and the power of consciousness in creating meaningful change. Join us for this enlightening conversation that challenges conventional notions of identity and transformation, offering a fresh perspective on personal growth and business success.

TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post You Are the Brand If you’re still hiding behind your offer… If you’re still using a cropped wedding photo for your headshot… If you’re still telling yourself you need to “figure it all out first”… Let this be your permission slip: You are the face of your […]
TLDR | What You’ll Learn in This Post This Wasn’t Just a Tattoo I’ve wanted a tattoo from Balazs for years. Not because he’s popular, but because I knew this guy was channeling something real. When the time finally aligned, I didn’t just walk into a session. I stepped into a portal. The Intention: A […]
If you’re an entrepreneur, your personal brand isn’t just a logo — it’s your face, your energy, and the story you’re telling in every scroll. So when it comes to choosing a personal brand photographer, you don’t need someone who just “takes nice pictures.” You need someone who knows how to translate your identity into […]
TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post Your Location Isn’t Background — It’s Identity Where you shoot isn’t just about what looks cool. It’s about resonance. It’s about embodiment. It’s about visually designing a space that holds your energy. “Your brand visuals don’t just show who you are — they show the world you […]
A personal brand is not your logo. It’s not your colors. It’s not just your website. Your personal brand is the perception people have of you when you’re not in the room — shaped by your presence, your visuals, your voice, and how consistently you embody your values. It’s who you are and who you’re […]
TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post Your Brand Isn’t a Feed — It’s a Frequency We’ve all seen it: the influencer with polished photos but no soul. The brand that feels like a mask. That’s not personal branding — that’s performance. A real personal brand? It’s how you live. It’s what you do […]
A Brand Isn’t Just a Logo — It’s a Mirror Your personal brand isn’t a website, a color palette, or a polished grid. It’s an evolving expression of who you are — and who you’re becoming. More than that, it’s a container. A space that calls you to rise. To embody your message. To stay […]
Let’s put it this way: If you want stiff headshots in a gray suit against a beige wall — probably not. If you want a photoshoot that feels like an editorial spread, emotional breakthrough, and creative awakening all in one — then yes. Nick Onken is very good at what he does. What Makes Nick […]
Most First-Time Brand Shoots Miss the Mark — Here’s Why If you’re preparing for your first brand photoshoot, you’re likely focused on the obvious: outfits, lighting, maybe even the perfect smile. But what actually makes a photoshoot land is much deeper — and most people don’t know what to look for. And unfortunately, that’s why most first-time […]
The Problem With Traditional Brand Photograph Most brand photos are surface-level. They might be polished. Perfectly lit. Technically solid. But they lack soul. They don’t make you feel the person. They don’t communicate energy, depth, or identity. They look good — but they don’t resonate. And that’s a problem if you’re a thought leader, coach, speaker, author, or […]
If you’re searching for the best personal brand photographer in New York, one name rises to the top: Nick Onken. Blending editorial sophistication with emotional storytelling, Nick’s work goes far beyond headshots. His Elevated Realism™ approach captures your highest self — magnetic, polished, and unmistakably you. 📍 A Photographer Who Knows NYC Intimately Nick spent 15 […]
One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is building their website, offers, or marketing before they’ve ever clarified their brand identity. They hire web designers before they’ve defined their vibe. They write sales pages without knowing the feeling their brand is meant to transmit. But everything — your website, your photos, your content, your brand world — should stem […]
For most people, a photoshoot is about looking good. For Nicky Clinch, it became a mirror for transformation. Nicky is a master maturation coach, author of Surrender, and co-leader of the Emanate Mastermind. When she came to me, her brand was successful—multiple seven figures, sold-out programs, a global community—but something wasn’t resonating. She had reached a plateau. […]
About the Blogger
I was born in a low middle class conservative religious family in the suburbs of Seattle. Art was and always has been my passion, and more than that a way of life. Starting as a graphic designer, I taught myself photography, built a commercial/editorial business shooting for the worlds biggest brands like Nike, Coca-Cola, Adidas and more. I've also had the opportunity to photograph the world's biggest celebrities like Justin Bieber, Usher, Jessica Alba and more. I've curated a lifestyle around creativity and have learned a lot along the way which I get to share here.
