Actress, comedian, and creator Nikki Howard joins hosts Mikey Tableman and Danny J. Gomez for a powerful and refreshingly honest conversation about humor, healing, and mental health in an era of constant noise and comparison.

From navigating cancel culture and online pressure to finding stillness through meditation, psychedelics, and self-compassion, Nikki shares how comedy became both her creative outlet and her survival tool. She opens up about her own battles with depression, suicidal ideation, and the lifelong process of learning to be kind to yourself -even when your mind isn’t.

Together, they explore the intersection of vulnerability and laughter, the science of compassion, and why humor can be one of the most profound paths to recovery. This raw, grounded conversation is a reminder that we all heal differently — and that sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is laugh while you’re still learning to love yourself.

Jamie Nieto, actor, producer, and two-time U.S. Olympian in the high jump, had his life transformed in 2016 after a tragic accident while coaching athletes left him with a spinal cord injury. Once among the top-ranked athletes in the world and narrowly missing medals at both Olympics, Jamie suddenly faced the fight of his life: learning how to move, walk, and live again.

In this powerful conversation, Jamie shares how his love for his mom and his Olympic journey — from being a late bloomer to competing in Athens and London — gave him the mindset to overcome his greatest challenge. He reflects on the resilience built through sport, the depression that comes after the Olympics, and the role of faith, family, and sports psychology in shaping his outlook.

Alongside Mikey Tableman and co-host Danny Gomez, who met Jamie during rehab, we hear firsthand how Jamie’s mantra — “better every day” — not only fueled his recovery but also inspired those around him. Now an actor, producer, and mentor, Jamie continues to prove that perseverance and positivity can carry you through the darkest moments.

This is a story about strength, hope, and never giving up — no matter the obstacle.
