In this solo car episode of Unplugged (yes, we said CAR!), Nicki Marie gets real about the conversation that sparked THOUSANDS of reactions: “single married moms.” What does it actually mean? Is it an actual thing and why did it hit such a nerve?

From the mental load of motherhood, to the pressure of being a “high-effort parent,” to how a half gallon of milk became a lesson in parenting - Nicki opens up about parenting with ADHD tendencies in the mix, raising independent kids, and the constant balance between discipline, patience, and self-awareness.

Nicki also dives into the identity shift that comes with motherhood—the parts no one prepares you for. And in true Unplugged fashion, she takes a turn into her current “comfy era”—dad shoes, New Balance energy, and what it might mean for her evolving identity… and even her dating life.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or like you’re carrying more than your share—this episode is for you.

One year ago, I sat down with Connor and his mom Lise — and this episode became one of the most loved conversations on this channel.

With Season 4 of Love on the Spectrum premiering April 1, it felt like the perfect time to bring this one back.

This is a conversation about raising good men, telling the truth (Connor’s “truth serum” is real ), and what it actually looks like to find love while navigating autism.

What started as two Massachusetts moms connecting on social media has turned into a real friendship — and now a group text I never want to leave.

If you’re new here, this is the episode that started it all. And if you’ve been here, you already know why we love Connor.

This week on Unplugged with Nicki Marie, Nicki is back with a cozy solo “couch session” episode. From slowing life down to revisiting first love memories, this episode jumps between relatable thoughts, funny stories, and the kind of honest stream-of-consciousness conversations that make the show feel like you’re chatting with a friend.

Nicki talks about entering her “do less in 2026” era after realizing how exhausting it can be to constantly try to optimize everything—health habits, productivity, routines, and self-improvement. When your brain already overthinks everything, sometimes the best move is simply doing less.

If you like podcasts that feel real, funny, a little chaotic, and totally unfiltered, this episode is a perfect “put it on while you drive, walk, or fold laundry” listen.✨ Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment:What’s one thing you’re planning to do less of this year?🔗products mentioned : https://liketk.it/5YW8A

Frankie’s back and we’re doing what we do best — talking about everything.

Dating standards. Red flags. The subtle behaviors that say more than words. Travel pet peeves. Vacation personalities. And the random things we’re loving this week.

It’s very sibling-coded: big sister perspective meets younger brother honesty. There’s teasing. There’s real talk. There’s at least one tangent that makes no sense.

Basically, if you like the episodes where it feels like you’re just hanging out with us… this is that.
