Nickey Winkelman (@nickeywink) is a Comedian based in Columbus, OH.

In this episode, I sit down with comedian Nickey Winkelman to talk about her story and journey in stand-up, the evolving comedy scene, and the challenges of balancing creative work with personal life. We also dive into her early days of getting started in comedy, the pressure of social media in today’s entertainment industry, and the fine line between self-confidence and societal expectations of success, and a lot of great chat around the feeling of gratitude for what we've already accomplished rather than always moving our goalposts. Nickey shares her perspective on working clean in comedy, the impact of the pandemic on mental health conversations, and how she navigates parenting while pursuing her passions. It’s an honest and insightful look at what it really means to chase a creative dream on your own terms, and truly just a great down to Earth conversation I'm excited to share!
