That's Fun

Nikki and Damaris tackle the great outdoors, sharing their thoughts on camping, bugs, paddleboarding, and yes—pickleball. Damaris recounts her rustic camping trip gone wrong and Nikki chimes in with her own bug-related horror story, leaving everyone scratching (literally) as they weigh the pros and cons of camping culture. Spoiler: They’re not sold.

On the flip side, Nikki shares a surprisingly empowering experience trying paddleboarding for the first time, proving that sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to newfound strengths—and a lot of laughs (especially when your husband falls off).

Finally, the duo answers a listener question about whether to join the pickleball craze. As self-proclaimed lovers of sitting, Nikki and Damaris give an honest take on the beginner-friendly sport that’s taking over parks everywhere.

Tune in for relatable laughs, fun outdoor ideas, and a reminder to try something new—even if it means dodging bugs or flinching at flying balls.

On this episode of That's Fun, Nikki talks about her recent family vacation, where she successfully blended kid-centered fun with small, intentional moments for herself, proving that family vacations can have a touch of luxury.

Meanwhile, Damaris recounts her misadventures in creating a cutting garden with her husband, reflecting on the challenges of teamwork, communication, and the not-so-fun aspects of gardening—only to remind us that the eventual payoff makes it all worth it (mostly).

The hosts also tackle a listener question about making work travel more enjoyable, offering practical tips on finding solo adventures, planning ahead, and embracing activities that bring personal joy, like thrifting or visiting local libraries. Whether you're balancing family chaos, digging in the dirt, or navigating solo travel, this episode is packed with relatable laughs and actionable advice for finding fun in every corner of life.

In this deeply relatable and inspiring episode of That’s Fun, Nikki and Damaris explore the power of rediscovering old passions and finding fun in vulnerability. Nikki opens up about her emotional first singing lesson, where nostalgia, self-doubt, and unexpected encouragement led to tears—and a rekindled dream of embracing musical theater. Meanwhile, Damaris shares her own courageous (and hilariously awkward) journey of joining a singing group filled with former high school singing stars, stepping back in time to face her insecurities head-on.

The hosts also tackle a listener question about finding fun on a budget, sharing creative tips for meaningful, low-cost experiences, from $30 dates to hosting curated gatherings at home. With humor, honesty, and a sprinkle of nostalgia, this episode reminds us that stepping out of our comfort zones—whether through singing or saving—can lead to some of life’s most rewarding moments.

Damaris recounts a hilariously disastrous date night featuring a poorly executed Bob Ross paint-along class, complete with mismatched brushes and comically bad paintings. Meanwhile, Nikki dives into the emotional journey of adjusting to her kids getting older, touching on the unspoken pressures of "looking put together" at school events and the bittersweet realization of losing the raw, carefree moments of parenting younger children.

The duo also tackles listener questions about navigating life without alcohol, sharing practical tips and lighthearted solutions—like creating fun mocktails and embracing sober socializing.

With their trademark humor and relatability, Nikki and Damaris prove that even in life's messy or awkward moments, there's always room for a little fun.

In this delightfully unpredictable debut episode of That’s Fun, Nikki and Damaris dive headfirst into the hilariously awkward and occasionally enlightening realities of adulthood. From Damaris’s unfiltered recounting of her colonoscopy prep (complete with bathroom humor and IV mishaps) to Nikki’s dazzling tale of wearing sequins and a purple fur coat to a reunion that felt part funeral, part high school throwback, the duo masterfully turns the mundane into the entertaining.

Expect plenty of laughs, relatable moments, and surprising nuggets of wisdom about health, personal growth, and owning your fabulousness—even when life feels less than glamorous.

As always, the hosts remind us that finding joy—even in the not-so-fun moments—is what life (and this podcast) is all about. Tune in for a journey that’s equal parts cringe-worthy, nostalgic, and, of course, fun!
