Each week, Nikki unpacks real-life lessons through solo talks, dream interpretations, spiritual downloads, storytimes, and soulful rants—peppered with humor, wisdom, and that signature sass. She’s naming the harm, reclaiming her power, and helping you do the same.

It’s raw, it’s righteous, and it’s real.

  • We Have A Child, Not A Bond

    We Have A Child, Not A Bond
    Aug 8 2025
    Just because I’m your baby mama doesn’t mean you still have access. In this episode, I’m unpacking the firestorm of a real conversation I had with my oldest child’s biological father—and the nerve he had thinking I’d always have “that love” for him. Newsflash: we have a kid, not a bond.

    I’m breaking down why single mothers must stop being emotionally available to men who abandoned the assignment—and how reclaiming your peace, boundaries, and power is the real glow-up.

    Tap in if you’ve ever been expected to mother a man you didn’t give birth to.
    Tap in if you’ve ever been guilt-tripped into being the “bigger person.”
    Tap in if you’re done with the circus and the clowns.

    This one’s personal. This one’s powerful. This one’s for every woman who had to raise a child and herself after being left to do it alone.

  • Why Women Don’t Need to Be His Peace

    Why Women Don’t Need to Be His Peace
    Aug 1 2025
    This week on NIKKI. Period., we’re calling out the tired narrative that women are supposed to be a man’s sanctuary, emotional regulator, and therapist—without reciprocity. Sis, you are not a safe haven for someone who created his own storm. In this episode, I’m digging into the cultural conditioning that tells women—especially Black women—that it’s our job to be his peace while he brings chaos. No ma’am.

    We’re reclaiming our time, our energy, and our boundaries.
    Because you’re allowed to have standards. You’re allowed to want more.
    And you’re allowed to say, “Not me. Not anymore.”

    Malcolm-Jamal Warner: Honering His Legacy & Impact
    Jul 29 2025
    In this podcast, I reflect on the impact Malcolm-Jamal Warner had on my generation through his iconic role as Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show. As a fellow New Jersey native and creative spirit, I always admired his work and the representation he brought to TV. I also share some fun facts about The Cosby Show and what it meant introducing my son to this classic piece of television history.
