“What I have a problem with is when people use fear-based conspiratorial language to scare the shit out of you.”

Friend, it’s safe to say most of us have had the shit scared out of us on social media with some new claim about what’s in our food (or isn’t in our food!)

Well Dr. Jessica Knurick isn’t having it and with science on her side she is here to share her thoughts on what is going on right now in public health, the wellness industry, and beyond.

In the first part of this chat, Dr. Jessica breaks down the difference between public health and individual wellness, the issues with ultra-processed foods, and the role that government policies and corporate interests play in shaping our food environment.

I was able to walk away from this chat with a lot of new information that MADE SENSE so I know you’ll feel the same way after hearing from Dr. Jessica.

Ultimately, the goal with these chats is to introduce you to someone who may think differently than you or has experience that is different than your own. Learning from someone like Dr. Jessica can empower you to make informed decisions about your health and public health policies.

In Part 2 we chat about why the wellness industry has exploded in recent years and the changes we can make to keep ourselves (and our neighbors) healthy. Don’t miss it!

It took over 30 years for Andrea Cruz to gain her American citizenship, and her lawyer said she had it easy…

You may have opinions about undocumented immigrants and that’s exactly why I’m chatting with Andrea Cruz today.

Andrea was an undocumented immigrant from Peru for much of her adult life. She shares how her parents brought her to America legally at the age of 9 and the hoops she had to jump through to gain her citizenship.

There are so many misconceptions about immigrants and the process they must go through to chase The American Dream.

Andrea shares what her local community is going through with the current political rhetoric and how they are supporting one another. Immigrants, just like any group of people, are not a monolith. We all have more in common than we may believe.

With any chat, it's important for us to listen with an open mind and heart. Thank you to Andrea for opening up about her lived experience and thank YOU for being here to learn and listen.

“ Mental health can be all consuming but having a community helps a lot.”

We’ve all heard that Gen Z is more focused on their mental health than any other generation but why? In this chat, we get to hear from my 23-year-old daughter Kris, who shares some of the struggles faced by Gen Z, particularly around mental health, societal pressures, and workplace challenges.

Kris opens up about her recent mental health issues, the anxiety faced by undocumented friends, and the impact of political and social climates on her generation. She explains why her and her friends are so focused on community and if they are interested in pursuing “The American Dream.”

And friend, don’t miss the part when I ask Kris about a new dating app and she completely shuts me down!

With any chat, it's important for us to listen with an open mind and heart. Thank you to Kris for opening up about her world and thank YOU for being here to learn and listen.

“Every woman should feel comfortable asking for what they need and receiving it, in any relationship.”

The self-proclaimed Queen of Receiving and sugar baby, Margo Graff, is here to chat with us about her philosophy behind receiving.

Margo shares how she became a sugar baby and what that lifestyle really looks like in LA. You may be surprised to hear that it has a lot to do with seeing yourself as an asset, having gratitude for what you already have, and feeling comfortable receiving support from others.

Even if you don’t agree with the sugar baby lifestyle, I truly believe there is something to learn from every person and every life.

Thank you to Margo for sharing so openly and thank YOU for being here to learn and listen.

“It's not just that I want to be able to wear a dress to school…”

Friend, today we sit down with Donato Fatuesi to hear more about her lived experiences as a trans woman.

Donato shares her journey of growing up with a feminine energy in a supportive family despite societal pressures and religious indoctrination in Samoa culture.

She explains the importance of visibility and the struggles trans individuals face regarding safety, employment, and acceptance.

Together we chat through some of the common fears and misconceptions about the trans community, the importance of empathy, and the necessity of building intentional relationships with queer and trans people to foster a more understanding society.

Donato shares a powerful call to action that I hope you’ll take, friend.

Head over to Threads or slide into my DMs on Instagram to continue this chat. Thank you for being here with an open mind as we meet people that may be different from ourselves.

Friend, I can’t continue to show up as a sanitized version of myself. Blame it on being over 40 or pushing a baby out unmedicated but it’s time for us to take the chats you know (and love) and make a change!

We all know that we are living in an increasingly small world because of algorithms. We get fed what we want to see and want to believe. But what would we believe if we met someone who challenged what we thought we knew about them?

That’s what the Tell Me More Podcast with Nicole Walters is about - talking to the type of people you may never meet but already have an opinion about.

So let’s talk to the undocumented immigrant, the trans person, and reality TV superstar. Through unfiltered and honest chats we may find out who are neighbors really are.

It’s my hope you can take this algorithm-beating info and form your own opinion. It will be uncomfortable but it’s time, friend. This is the important work we need to do together.

The Tell Me More Podcast with Nicole Walters is the only podcast where I’m not telling you to think more like me but instead introducing you to unfiltered, candid, and honest perspectives, to help you think for yourself.

The truth is that we don’t know what we don’t know.

So, let’s find out together.

Head over to Threads or slide into my DMs on Instagram to share who you want to hear from. Thanks for being here, friend!

You’ve heard of toxic masculinity and toxic positivity, but it might be toxic generosity that is spoiling your relationships and leaving you stressed.

Friend, this one is straight from my therapist’s office. We need to chat about what toxic generosity is and the steps to take to hold your boundaries.

The truth is, certain people will continue to take as long as you keep giving. There's a better way and I’m experiencing peace today because of the changes I’ve made to change my toxic generosity habits.

Come share your thoughts with me over on Threads or or slide into my DMs on Instagram. Thanks for being here today, friend!

Just a few weeks ago I told you that I thought I was in the clear when it came to being postpartum.

Well friend, we need to circle back because last week was ROUGH.

Between the Sunday Scaries, an overall feeling of heaviness, and the desire to just stay home with my baby, I learned something BIG.

If your old habits just don’t fit anymore, that means you’ve grown AND it’s sticking. And friend, I’m proud that I’ve grown!

Is this a postpartum thing or an over 40 thing or just a Nicole thing? Let me know!

Check out my spicy takes over on Threads or slide into my DMs on Instagram. Thanks for being here today and thank you for your encouragement always!
