Life According to Nikki

Hello everyone! Today we have a solo episode full of recent watches, an update on my upcoming Australian adventure, and the random things I have to discuss with the general public. Those topics include: - A history of Yellowstone (the ethically questionable show, not the national park) - My "Make a Wish" request - A public shaming for my audible account users - Capri Suns' latest PR move And my re...

Hello Listeners! Today is the day I have been WAITING for! I had the opportunity to interview one of my personal idols- Gabby Beckford, the founder of Packslight Gabby has traveled all over the world, is an incredible businesswoman, and has one of the most helpful platforms out there for young people wanting to travel!  Today we chatted all about what motivates her to travel, how she encourages ot...

Hi everyone! Today I feel SO blessed to have Brie Ocea with us to discuss her journey of finding light after losing her son Romeo. I do want to add a trigger warning that we will be talking about the events surrounding Romeo’s accidental drowning, and will touch on pregnancy after losing a child. Brie Ocea’s vulnerability and beliefs are beautiful and thought-provoking and I can’t wait for you to...

Well, look who it is! It's my amazing listeners back for another episode! Today you will meet my favorite British friend (who also happens to be my only British friend, but that's irrelevant)... JESS! You will get to hear all about their job working in one of the *very few* Oxford libraries. ;) Other topics include: - The world's greatest song contest competition. IFKYK. If you don't- you'll learn...

Happy Sabbath everybody! I hope today's talk about the Doctrine of Jesus Christ brings you the spirit! Have a great week!

Hey guys!  Today we’re doing things a bit differently. I decided to give you a “peak behind the curtain” to see exactly what’s going on in my life right now.  Hopefully there are elements of my current struggles that are mirrored in your own life and we can both look for parts to our ladders together.  Thanks for being here for the journey <3 Be sure to stick around until the end to hear Kiyana...

Welcome back everyone! Today you're going to meet my friend and co-worker Emily!

This week I hope we can all do a better job at sharing in our common humanity and "living uncertain"! Thank you all for li...

Happy Sabbath! Have you ever been asked the age-old question posed in the title? Well today is my feeble attempt at answering it. Thanks for listening!

Hey ya’ll! Today we are joined by my friend Reagan and we’re taking it back to the start of our hustling ways. As always we’ll be discussing our recent watches, I’ll go off on some tangent about something I hate, and we’ll end it all atop the hills we’ll die on!  Other topics include: Robert Pattinson’s biggest crime  My realization that I wasn’t the only 12-year-old who had legit babysitting cred...

Happy Sabbath! I hope you are all doing well and are ready for the second installment of "The Gospel According to Nikki". Enjoy!

*Jumps into a lunge position, hands up, palms out* yelling “STAND BACK YOU’RE NOT MY MOM!”  Did anyone catch that reference? If not, don’t sweat it. But to any kidnappers out there- just know if you go after me, you’re going to be dealing with a RADkids graduate. Good luck getting past my training. I’ve blended before and I can do it again. (Literally all of that will make sense if you listen to t...

Happy Sabbath everyone! Today is the first episode of "The GOSPEL According to Nikki". If talking about Jesus isn't your thing- no worries- I'll just catch you on Fridays for my normal episodes! But for those of you who enjoy a good gospel analogy- I'm so excited to share my thoughts with you! I hope you all have a wonderful day, and as always, thanks for listening!

Well hey there everyone! Today I sat down to discuss the *necessity* of watching “Nobody Wants This” on Netflix, and to pose my latest inquiry for the dulu’s.  Other topics include: My many failed attempts at following through on dystopian trilogies.  The ease in which I tend to objectify men who can tumble in jeans. (It’s not good. It’s a me problem. Men are not responsible for my thoughts and I...

Today is the episode you’ve all been waiting for...  Just kidding. I know of exactly one person who specifically asked for this, but beyond that, I have no idea if you all really wanted to hear another take on the new hit series “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”. But either way, that’s what you’re getting today! I want you all to know I tried recording this episode twice on my own but ultimately...

Today we complete our 3 week adventure with my one and only older brother, Robbie!  After reviewing our recent watches we take you through some of our craziest and most embarrassing stories from our time as missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Other topics on today’s episode include: The most traumatic Saturday in our childhood Will Smith’s ability to break me Confirm...

Welcome back to part 2 with Robbie! The title of today's episode is a famous family quote and its best said with a "cave-man" like accent to get the proper execution. Unlike what I promised last week, today you'll get the 411 on our experiences serving full-time proselyting missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I open up about some difficulties I had but in the end we'll di...

Guess who’s back?!? That’s right, it’s my flesh and blood and second favorite sibling… ROBBIE!  The dulcet tones of my brother will be heard in a series of 3 episodes starting with today’s! We’ll discuss the latest and greatest things on YouTube and I’ll end the episode going solo to give you a rundown of things I can’t live without.  Other topics include: The first president of the US of A Moanin...

Ladies... its time! Today you meet my girl, my sister-from-a-different-mister, my twin flame if you will... TAYLOR! Taylor and I *aren't like other girls* (tucks hair behind ear).

Happy Friday everyone! If you missed the title reference, no worries I got you- that phrase was said by the one and only Adele (so I recommend reading it with a British accent to really get the full effect). Today we sit down with my girl Kyra to discuss the time she was a 19-year-old child bride and the path she took that led to her life now. Other topics include: - An endorsement for Charlie Mar...

Happy Birthday Jake- this one's for you ❤ On December 18th, 2020, my world crumbled into pieces. I learned that two of my best friends died in a car accident. Maddie and I had been best friends for over 15 years. I met Jake in 2017, he went with me to my weekly family dinners and was considered my “adopted brother”. Losing them felt like losing two parts of myself. As the days and weeks passed aft...
