This week on Pretty Candid, I’m joined by nail tech Keeks Nixon  From Milwaukee to Austin, Keeks opens up about stepping out on faith over fear, staying positive when social media engagement is low, trusting her craft, and having the courage to move her business to a new city. We then play “Clock It or Keep It Moving” and sip on our Candid Cocktail of the Week inspired by her, "Keeks Kiss". Tune in for real conversations, inspiration, and a little fun along the way.

This week on The Pretty Candid Podcast, we are joined by Los Kemet for a real and honest conversation about artistry, pressure, and trusting your own path. Los opens up about how he knew music and rapping were for him, when it stopped being a hobby, and what it truly looks like to take yourself seriously as an artist.

We also talk about the realities of being a creative in the social media era, especially the pressure to constantly show up, post content, and perform on platforms like TikTok while still staying authentic and protecting your peace. This episode is for artists, creatives, and anyone navigating passion, purpose, and consistency in a very noisy world.

Tap in for gems, transparency, and motivation.

Happy new year and welcome back to The Pretty Candid Podcast. I’m kicking off 2026 with a few unpopular opinions and some honest conversations about clout culture, real relationships offline, and what healing actually looks like.

In this episode, I’m joined by Austin tax pros Mikaela (Kae’s Tax Pros) and Ashley (AVantage Financial) to share the real tax tea. We talk about growing from PTIN holders to Service Bureaus, lessons learned through trial and error, and why professionalism and privacy in taxes matter.

We play Tax Pro or Nah?, break down viral tax “facts,” discuss leading teams, collaborating instead of competing, shifting clients from a refund mindset to real wealth, reinvesting with intention, and how success changes relationships.

If you’re serious about money, leadership, and leveling up — this episode is for you.

In this episode of Pretty Candid Podcast, I’m breaking down all the tea from Love Island Season 7—the drama, the messy moments, and the relationships that had us glued to the screen.  But we’re also getting real about not letting anyone dim your light, play in your face, or misuse and abuse your energy.
