That's Fun

Nikki and Damaris dive into the very real (and rarely discussed) topic of sex in long-term relationships—how it changes as we get older, why it can feel harder to talk about, and what actually helps keep intimacy alive after years together. They unpack the awkward parts we don’t always say out loud: body confidence after babies, the pressure to perform, faking orgasms, and the way cultural message...

Winter has you feeling…fine, technically? But also weirdly unexcited about everything ? Same. This week, Nikki shows up in full-on “meh” mode—and Damaris comes prepared with a simple truth: sometimes you don’t wait to feel excited…you practice getting excited. They test the strategy in real time by doing what they do best: planning something wildly unnecessary and deeply joyful. Enter: Derby. Ente...

This week, Nikki and Damaris talk about the sneaky way we dim our own light —with offhand comments like “I’m just a mom,” “I’m tired,” “I don’t do that anymore,” or “I already know I won’t like it.” They unpack how that little self-caption can quietly turn into a whole identity—and how fast it starts shrinking your life. Along the way, they get into the real stuff: why women are trained to be mode...

Ever notice how one good night of sleep can make you feel like a completely different person? (And one bad night turns you into a walking group chat of complaints?) This week, Nikki and Damaris get into the very glamorous topic of sleep —why it matters more than we want to admit, what’s sabotaging it, and the little routines that actually make mornings and evenings feel better…even if you’re not b...

This week on That’s Fun , Nikki and Damaris are headed to Miami for the SoBe Wine & Food Festival, and they’re breaking down how to actually make the fun happen on a girls’ trip (instead of just hoping the destination does the work).

This week on That’s Fun , Nikki and Damaris talk about how to make the fun happen when life (and the world) does not feel fun—when everything feels loud, tense, cold, dark, and just…a lot. Instead of stuffing the feelings into a tiny emotional ball and pretending they're fine, Nikki and Damaris dig into what it actually looks like to regulate your emotions. They start with the basics: figuring out...

Nikki and Damaris tackle a surprisingly big question: what happens when your real life collides with the internet version of life—throwbacks, opinions, comment sections, and all? It starts with the 2016 flashback trend and the feelings it kicks up: nostalgia, vanity, cringe, and that sneaky sense of “Wait…am I doing enough?” They talk body image and clothes, how style and confidence shift over a d...

Nikki and Damaris get wildly honest about all the things we do (and consider doing) in the name of “feeling fresh”—from the stuff that costs dollars to the stuff that costs...thousands. They talk prescription retinol vs. pricey skincare, dermaplaning, Botox realities, microneedling, and what it actually feels like to do bigger treatments like Fraxel and “baby Fraxel” (Clear + Brilliant)—downtime,...

Snowy season + girlfriends + “fun plans” all over your feed…but is it actually fun—or just something to post ? This week, Nikki and Damaris play a game of Will This Be Fun? as they break down the winter friend-date trends we keep seeing (paint + sip, puzzle nights, “make a candle,” perfume workshops, quirky workout classes, ice skating, sledding…). They get into what makes an activity genuinely jo...

Life has a funny way of making big promises in January and then quietly testing them by February. In this episode, Nikki and Damaris check in on their New Year’s resolutions and get real about what’s still going strong, what’s wobbling, and what might need a little grace instead of guilt. From finding ways to sneak veggies into breakfast to lacing up for more walks and moving our bodies with kindn...

In this episode, Nikki and Damaris dive into the surprisingly awkward world of making friends as an adult and why it can feel suspiciously similar to dating. We talk about why friendships don’t form as effortlessly as they used to, how fear of rejection shows up in platonic relationships, and why everyone seems busy but still lonely. Our conversation explores how to move past small talk and ask de...

In this episode, Nikki and Damaris unpack the pressure-packed world of New Year’s resolutions and why January so often feels more overwhelming than inspiring. We talk about where resolution culture goes wrong, how all-or-nothing thinking sets us up to quit early, and why “new year, new you” can quietly turn into burnout by week two. Our conversation focuses on more sustainable, compassionate appro...

n this episode, Nikki and Damaris take on seasonal depression with honesty, humor, and a whole lot of relatability. We unpack why the shorter days and colder weather can mess with our mood, energy, and motivation, and why feeling “off” this time of year is far more common than we admit. Our conversation blends real talk with practical tools, from light exposure and movement that doesn’t feel like...

From navigating family expectations to managing overscheduling and gift-giving pressure, we explore why this time of year often feels overwhelming—and how to change that narrative. Our conversation covers simple yet powerful tools: setting boundaries, simplify...

Buying cozy sweaters you don’t need…adding three things to your cart on the way to buy one…telling yourself it’s “just for the holidays.” Sound familiar? This week, Nikki and Damaris unpack why we’re all a little wired for consumerism—and why buying less feels so much harder than it should. From dopamine hits to targeted ads to the pressure to make every celebration “perfect,” they dig into the fo...

Ordering socks during movie night, answering DMs in the carpool line…sound familiar? When did having fun start feeling like another task to manage? This week, Nikki and Damaris dig into why adult life feels so fast—and how constant productivity, small-business demands, and technology have trained us to fill every spare minute. They talk about what this looks like in real life: planning ahead just...

Nikki kicks things off with a very 40s-and-thriving curveball (a just-in-case pregnancy test!) that leads straight into today’s question: how often are we having so much fun —and how do we make more of it? Together, Nikki and Damaris build a simple “fun audit”: recall your last three so much fun moments and spot the through-lines. For them, it’s being outside, being with people you’re deeply comfo...

Nikki and Damaris ask a simple question with a big answer: if you want more joy, how do you actually make it happen? They compare a quick dinner with friends to a 48-hour getaway and do the (very fuzzy) math on why longer, unhurried time—complete with comfortable lulls—creates deeper connection than a three-hour catch-up. Damaris shares her next move: a studio-led yoga retreat. No spreadsheets, no...

Nikki and Damaris dig into a listener question from Omar in Miami: How do I stop comparing my life—parenting, career, home—to everyone else and actually feel good where I am? They get specific about the two flavors of comparison—what happens when you’re scrolling (the curated highlight reel) versus what happens in real life (the expectations we absorb from family, friends, and culture). Nikki and...

This week, Nikki and Damaris get real about the art of saying no —why it feels so hard, why women tend to over-explain, and how to set boundaries without torching relationships. They share simple scripts that skip the five-paragraph excuse, ways to protect your energy before you’re burnt out, and how to handle kid-party invites, charity asks, and work favors with grace (and minimal group-text chao...

This week, Nikki and Damaris dig into body image—what it looks like to feel good in your skin now , and how that changes after 40. They name the cultural double standard (why “dad bod” gets a wink while “mom bod” gets rules) and talk about shifting from chasing external approval to building self-worth that isn’t tied to a number, a size, or a wrinkle. Nikki shares her “mirror moratorium” (temporar...

Nikki and Damaris are tackling the art (and occasional chaos) of starting a group—from book clubs that actually read the book (or don’t), to crafting circles, card nights, and cozy reading dates where everyone just shows up with whatever’s on their nightstand. They dive into why adults secretly crave structured togetherness, how to make gatherings less intimidating for new friends, and why someone...

When life shifts—kids get older, a job ends, routines change—how do you decide what’s next ? Nikki and Damaris get candid about “Act II” pivots at any age, from the myth that fun fades after 40 to why confidence can make you hotter than your 20s ever did. They talk navigating change: embracing an exploration phase , auditing what you actually want, and looking back to the interests that always tug...

Nikki and Damaris are back in their sweaters—and fully committed to squeezing every ounce of fun out of fall.

Along the way, they uncover the unexpected joys of porch parties, pumpkin pat...

Nikki and Damaris dive into what it really means to “find joy” in everyday life—and why it’s so much harder than those Instagram grids make it look.

From mourning pets to skipping...
