Life According to Nikki

Hello my loyal listeners! Remember a couple of months ago when I talked about the author Ashtyn Newbold and I said I would really love to have her on the pod cause I'm such a big fan... WELL GUESS WHO'S ON THE POD TODAY?! Yuppers. It's the amazingly talented writer and storyteller herself! We talk all things Regency romance and get the inside scoop on what it's really like to put pen to paper. Or...

Well howdy folks! Today we are joined once again with our girl Annie Warner. Have you ever found yourself pondering the age old question “how do I explain trek to a foreigner?” Well today we provide the answer, along with a light hearted discussion about the pioneering event from our youth. Now I want you all to know that I tried SO hard to find pictures of my trek experience but they were literal...

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE! Can we tell I'm excited?! Today we are chatting with my friend Abby Fillmore and grab the tissues cause you might need them.

We then move on to the main topic for today's episode: Abby's journey through grief...

Welcome back everyone! Today is a solo episode where I will be spending some time dwelling on the bitterness in my heart that still lingers from high school. We'll go over my recent watches and the latest teen drama that you should add to your queue, and we'll end with me grabbing my kneepads and begging you to do me a favor. I love you guys, and I hope you enjoy today's episode! Be sure to rate a...

Well if it ain't my lovely listeners back for another episode! Today we are getting INTO IT. I am finally going to share my honest and true feelings regarding Colleen Hoover. For those of you who have no idea who that is- first, say a prayer of thanks right now (I'm kidding)...(no I'm not) and second, don't you worry! I will break it all down for you and let you in on the world of "smut books". No...

Dearest Gentle Listeners, for those of you that felt like I didn't give you enough Bridgerton content...today is your lucky day! My friend Ashley is doing an episode takeover to give you ALLLLL our Bridgerton thoughts! We originally recorded the episode together but as you all know, I'm a big fat dummy sometimes and I forgot to record the audio to our hour long discussion. But never fear because A...

We then hop on our broomsticks and head over to Hogwarts with our previous guest Nikki Utley to discus...

Lets just pretend I'm posting this on a Friday like I promised I would, K? Thanks, you guys are the best! And you know what else is the best??? My Goodreads reviews. You should check them out and then run to your local library and *literally* check them out. Ya know, so we can get on the same page (Just a lil book humor for ya). You know what isn't the best though? The movie "The Idea of You" that...

Welcome to PART 2 with Sierra! I decided to err on the safe side and mark this episode as explicit because there is some mild language and we talk about two shows that contain nudity. For this episode, I traveled all the way to Sewanee Tennesee to see the frat/sorority party life for myself! We discuss college drinking culture and she gives us a breakdown of various Greek life organizations. To en...

There is nothing like a belated bio episode to really set the tone for the week! I figured it was about time that I gave a rundown of who I am and the journey of my adulthood so far. I once had someone ask me, "How did you get to where you are right now in life?" to which I immediately answered, "Through a series of unfortunate events." I said it as a joke but as you'll see, there is actually a lo...

We start the episode talking about my "earthly struggles" and how we met, moving on to Meg's recent TV watches around minute 25. Around the 30-minute mark, we get into the nitty gritty of Meg's upbringing and her casual Tuesday nights calling life flight to save one of her siblings...

I HAVE AN INTRO SONG!!! Guys, I'm so excited because today is the day that my podcast starts sounding official! We start off strong with some book reviews, and petty rants, and then at the 20 minute mark we dive into "Twilight Part 2" as a follow-up to episode 1.
