UNPLUGGED with Nicki Marie

🎙️ Welcome to the chaos! It's a midweek mashup on Unplugged with Nicki Marie! From navigating the holiday vibes to decorating a wonky Christmas tree solo, Nicki keeps it real (and hilarious) as always. Whether you're in your car, on your couch, or sneaking a break at work, this episode will make you laugh, nod along, and maybe dance to "Linger" by The Cranberries!

Online, we always hear about divorce from a parents perspective.  When we hear about co-parenting, we often hear professionals speak to "what's best for the kids".  Today,  we hear it from the child's perspective, thanks to my instagram friend, Bella Duncan.  I started following her page A KID WITH TWO HOMES, in 2022 and immediately fell in love with her advocacy for children of divorce and the emphasis on what it was like to grow up in a high conflict divorce.  She is proof that when parents can amicably co-parent, it makes a world of difference for the kid.  Even if marriage isn't forever, divorce is, when there are kids in the mix. This episode is a must for anyone who is going through a divorce, anyone who comes from divorce (to honor your inner child) and anyone who loves someone who has been through divorce. I come from divorce and I am a strong woman, loving mother, compassionate human and divorce has not only been a huge part of who I grew up to be but also the reason that I ended up here, on social media, after my own separation in 2020.  My goal is to DO WHAT IS BEST for my own kids while also remembering what "little Nicki" felt when she was going through it.  So, join the conversation as we explore what NOT TO DO to your kids during your divorce journey. Also, the timing of this is perfect because co-parenting during the holiday season brings on extra feels.  I got you.  Bella's got you.  Divorce sucks but this is a reminder to grow through it, one day at a time. holla at ya girl.  stay for more. luffff you!

Today's guest is Jefferson Fisher.  I heard him as a guest on Mel Robbins Podcast (she's my fave) Episode called Communicate With Confidence and I immediately FELL in LOVE with Jefferson's calm demeanor and thoughtful approach to communication. I reached out to Jefferson and asked him to have a conversation with me about coparenting and from there, we churned out this podcast episode for ya. From this episode, you will get tools for yourself as a parent, for yourself as a daughter/son, coworker, employee, student, coach, teacher and you can even grab some tools for your own kiddos to use in their toolbelt. I can't wait for you to meet Jefferson.  I think you're going to love him! And make sure to pre-order his book for his upcoming launch of The Next Conversation: Argue Less, Talk More.  I ordered it already and can't wait to continue to support him--this is the coach I need more than any other.  THE POWER OF WORDS, baby! Love ya-holla at ya girl, stay for more. Nicki

This episode is a medley of things and who are we kidding.. if you've been following Nicki's journey you aren't surprised by this. So sit back, relax and let me share some personal feelings with you backed by the therapy of having my brother join into the conversation to talk about life as a 29 year old LA dwelling man and how our sibling lives mesh while living completely opposite lives on opposite coasts. Adult siblinghood is just what the doctor ordered today. (oh yeh and I sneak in the Netflix Movie Premiere Moment in here because -- I HAD TO! wink). Holla at ya girl, stay for more. Nicki
