Ep 77: "Not Everyone Likes Elsie Silver" with Taylor J.

What is UP, people?!

It's time for our bi-annual checkup with Taylor, where she lets us know what's hot and what's not.

So get your pens out and prepare to write down and cross out all the books, movies, and TV that should, and should not, be on your list!

Ya'll are the best, you know I love you, and you also know it kills me inside when I find out that you love the pod but haven't told the world. So um, please do that. No one likes a gatekeeper <3

Ep 76: "All My Role Models Went to Prison" with Portia Louder

Hi everyone!

You are in for a real treat today! I sat down with Portia Louder to discuss what it was like for her to leave her family in Utah and serve a 5-year sentence in federal prison for real estate fraud.

Portia's story has inspired thousands through her books, podcast, and social media pages. Be sure to check out all of her content at portialouder.com.

Be sure to leave your comments, rating, and review if you enjoyed today's episode! I'll catch you all next week!

Ep 75: The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Review- with Taylor J.

The #1 question I get when living abroad: “Have you seen The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives??”
And the answer is: yasss girl… and I have thoughts.

So grab a snack and settle in for a long (probably too long) chat with Taylor as we break down every single episode- because yes, we’re still talking about a show that lost relevance like four months ago ;)

Ep 74: The Burden of Being a DUFF

Surprise!

Normally, I take the time to write something hilariously witty here (shoutout to all of you who take the time to actually read it) but tbh I have a paper to write and don't have the time. But this episode was way too funny to make you wait another week before you hear it.

So here you go! ENJOY! And huge shoutout to my girl Manu for knocking on my door to give me something and then immediately agreeing to an impromptu interview. You're so real for that.

One day soon I'll have the time and energy to post this on Instagram, and I promise to tag you ;)

XOXO

Ep 73: You Guys Are Looking Really Strong Tonight

Did we miss me? Just kidding, I know you did. Thanks for the dm's ;)

We have hit the time in my semester when I am forced to take unintentional sabbaticals from my hobbies (and almost anything that makes me truly happy), and instead focus all my time and attention on regurgitating information in an "academic voice."

Basically, what I'm saying is, my soul is slowly being taken from me by the academic demons, and I could really use some Kpop Demon Hunters right about now...

*me smirking at myself for nailing that transition- If only I could write like this in my school papers. My professors might finally see that I'm not completely incapable of writing*

Anyways, enjoy today's episode where we'll discuss my favorite chemical element, the realistic doom of modern relationships, and my rant on the power of men.

Love ya! See ya when I see ya!

Ep 72: "The Patriarchy Got to Me" with Courtney

Quick- think fast!

Today I ambushed Courtney into recording an episode with me. What followed was a chaotic, delightful spiral of topics with the structure of a toddler’s bedtime story!

We cover a variety of topics, including the following:

- Courtney's academic skillset

- The impact of Obamacare

- Nursing's male approval rating

- Ann Richards (the esteemed governor of Texas, if you didn't already know)

- Danish pancake's superiority

and our mutual hatred of an "English breakfast".

Thank you for joining us, and this week, as you stuff your face with pancakes, waffles, or a poached tomato... please take a moment to give this pod a rating and review on BOTH Spotify AND Apple Podcasts!

Thank you!

Ep 67: Did I Just Love... a ✨fantasy✨ series?!

I know! Who am I right now?!

For those of you who are new here- Hi, my name is Nikki, and I'm a fantasy hater. So imagine my absolute and utter shock when I not only *read* a fantasy book... but I loved it.

I was positively nonplussed!

My flabbers were gasted.

I'm honestly still a bit flummoxed over the fact that I gave the first two books in the Zodiac Academy series 5 stars.

And today on the pod, you'll get to hear my thoughts on all of it! We'll also discuss my latest watches and my vacation in Bali. So grab your vacuum & duster and get ready to deep clean your house as I ramble on about my extremely average life and overly strong opinions.

Thank you so much for listening, please rate and review, then steal your friends ' phones (who have never heard of me) and rate it on their phone too- because sharing is caring and I need those numbers ;) xoxo

Ep 66: "Celibate Sexuality" with the Super Sex Podcast

Hi everyone!

On today's episode, instead of having a special guest... I WAS the special guest! I had the amazing opportunity to go on the Super Sex podcast with Jordan Walker and Tarsh Wilson.

We discussed what it's like for me to be a certified sex educator (and current sexology grad student!) while also being an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I can't wait for you all to hear it, and a huge thank you to Jordan and Tarsh for letting me come on and talk their ears off!

Please be sure to rate and review BOTH our podcasts and have a great week!
