Tell Me More with Nicole Walters

Y’all know how important exfoliation is to me but it doesn’t end with my skin. As you reflect on this year, I want to encourage you to look at the people in your life and ask, “Am I being too nice?!” In this chat I’m bringing you into what I’ve learned about being too nice and therefore overcompensating for the people in my life. Whether that’s family, friends, or employees, their trauma is not th...

This is one of the tougher chats we’ve had but because I want our time here to be impactful AND move in integrity, I’m glad to have this chat with you. Whether this is the first chat you’ve listened to or you’ve been around since season 1, thanks for being here friend! Binge the show to hear our other chats and find my New York Times Bestselling memoir, Nothing Is Missing, on Amazon or your favori...

In previous chats, we’ve talked about the expectation and pressure that exists to support our parents (especially for those of us who are first generation!) We were raised to stand in the gap of everyone else’s mess, even before building something of our own. The impulse to help everyone else before we help ourselves can burn us out QUICK and when you burn yourself out, you can’t help anyone. Frie...

I wish I could say that this is one of those chats where I have the answers, but the reality is it just isn’t. I’m struggling with this and if you have any answers or can relate, DM me. I receive it, friend! I’m heading to Atlanta for a business dinner soon and it’s bringing up feelings of grief and reminders of my former life. It’s like when the babies head to college and you go into their room a...

Is it a privilege to be able to submit to your partner? At one point I thought submission was the problem, I mean just reading that word my make you want to run in the other direction. I get it and that’s why this chat is spicy and necessary. The fact is some of you may just not get this but those of you that do, GET IT. When you trust and respect your partner so much that you can submit to them i...

Friend, I was nervous to hit record on this one because I’m telling on myself again. In this chat we have expert Corrine Stokoe here to chat about co-dependency and how it can sneak into every aspect of our lives. Is it really that big of a problem? You may be surprised to hear how co-dependency shows up (and gets in your way!) The information Corrine shares can change your life and empower you to...

Is putting down our businesses the right choice when we’re entering motherhood? You probably heard this too if you’ve been through the baby season - “Get ready to put it all down for the next few years so you can focus on your family.” Y’all know my babies always come number 1 but the idea of setting it all down just hits different when you’re an older mom. In this chat we get to hear from Candace...

I’m taking you back to the moment when I realized sex was back on the table after divorce. Friend, we’re keeping it allll the way real in this chat and as you guessed it, this isn’t one to listen to around the kids so grab those headphones! In this chat we’re covering everything from that moment when I remembered people have sex when they’re dating (and that maybe I could also!) to a memorable wax...

Yes, we’re having a baby! We left you with a cliffhanger last week about how we’re pregnant and in this chat, Alex and I are spilling the details of how long we’ve been trying and how we found out it was real! We each share our thoughts about going to a fertility clinic, why I found myself ordering 4 lbs of crab legs one night, and how Alex has been right each step of the way. It’s so refreshing c...

If you’ve been waiting for the gossip, this chat is for you because we’re exposing it all! Although we wait to share most things, I am so grateful for your support and respect for our boundaries.

Friend, you NEED to meet Dr. Jessica Taylor. When I first met Dr. Taylor and learned the level of impact she was making at home and at work, I knew I had to introduce her to you. From University President to foster parent to founding a leadership initiative, Jessica is doing a lot (by choice!) In this chat we talk about leadership advice for marginalized groups, what Dr. Taylor sees as the main is...

Do you have people in your life that don’t seem to share your same energy when you win? You know the type - they always have the time to point out how you COULD be doing better. If you’re a product of Tiger parenting, like me, this feels all too familiar… but not coming from your friends, your team, let alone your partner. If the red flags are waving then sometimes we need to call it what it is -...

How do we stay informed on politics and what’s going on in our world while maintaining our peace? In this chat, Alex and I chat about how we’re educating ourselves so we can make informed decisions without losing hope along the way. Friend, what I do know is that we can’t only listen to people and news sources that we agree with. We have to get outside our bubble and try to understand the policies...

Friend, A LOT is going on in our world right now and I have to admit that lately I have felt less hope and more hopelessness. Can you relate? Maybe it’s a product of so many unprecedented times but I’ve had to work a lot harder at having hope. In this chat we're here to talk about having hope, keeping hope, and taking care of one another. Things are not TOO bad that they can’t get better - they wi...

Friend, this chat is guaranteed to be make you laugh, teach...

Friends, it turns out that who your partner’s family is is important. Did y’all know this?! This was news to me but not to Alex - he’s been making partner choices based on their family for years! In this chat, Alex and I chat about why your extended family matters! We both share our previous experiences with our partner’s family and how it led us to leave or stay in the relationship. The fact is e...

Ally shares what is really going on at her school when it comes to phone usage, how she feels about her own phone and our policies, PLUS what it’s like growing up as a...

This whole season we have been talking about surrendering and the peace we can acquire from doing so. In the process of letting go in my own life, I’ve had to confront my habit of over-explaining. Are you with me, friend? You know when someone in your life drops the ball and you feel as if you need to equip them with more information so it won’t happen again? Or they are misunderstanding you so yo...

Years ago I couldn’t imagine living a life that I didn’t need a constant break from. What I thought was self care was actually me escaping from the stressful life circumstances that I had created. Friend, in this chat we’re diving into what I’ve learned in order to build a life that I don’t need to escape from. If you can relate, this chat is for you! Are there boundaries you need to put in place?...

Friend, you know I love learning and that personal growth is at the center of our chats here. With that said, I’m seeing a trend that I can’t get behind. Any time we’re helping one another grow, we have to do it from a place of grace and not shame. And shame is what I'm seeing all over social media. Let’s chat about what should be our number one priority and how it may differ from the people aroun...

Y’all we need to talk about today’s money. You know the money that just doesn’t seem to last as long as it once did? In this chat we’re talking about how to make decisions that are worth every penny. This mindset shift around money has informed the way my kids make money decisions and how they view their time and energy. This belief, if you decide to take it, will help you to realize the value of...

One thing we have to get good at is making choices; choices that are in alignment with who we are and where we are going. Easier said than done though, right? In seasons of transition and growth, making the right choice can keep us up at night. Friend, if you relate to that, this chat with Myesha Chaney is for you! Myesha has a fool-proof system to help you make better choices and to get unstuck....
