Episode #003: Nicki D on comedy, starting over from a blank slate & healing naturally from a thyroid condition
As an Emmy-nominated entertainment personality, Nicki has always loved the entertainment industry, but she grew sick of 'reporting' on other people's lives instead of living her own. Working for E! was the industry dream, but she had even bigger dreams herself.
In a world that is so damn serious, I think a lot of people are on a path of reverse engineering and figuring out how to be playful again, so I brought Nicki on the podcast to share her love for comedy and talk about how she does her best to overcome judgment when she puts out controversial parodies and spoof videos (which are awesome by the way – check them out!).
2018 was a transformational year for her - tackling her fears and "grabbing life by the balls and giving less f#cks." She did her first stand up comedy gig and actually up and left her job as a bartender simply because she believes in positive affirmations/self talk and "didn't want to start out 2019 as a bartender." Bada$$.
So now, like many of us, she has a blank slate and is trying to figure it all out. Nicki lives with a thyroid condition that she was born with, and we naturally fell into some good dialogue about western medicine. We exchanged personal stories about how doctors have failed us in the past, and how we took charge of our own health.
