This week on The Bellas Podcast, Nikki & Brie are joined by someone that they count on as a colleague, costar, inspiration, and friend: Saraya-Jade Bevis!
 
After making a major announcement about leaving WWE, Saraya kicks things off by looking back at her incredible history with The Bellas in the ring, on television, the birth of #GiveDivasAChance, connecting with the audience, and away from the camera as she leaves Paige behind. 
 
There’s a lot of mutual respect and admiration too. Nikki & Brie have a lot of love for Raya for staying true to herself, the magic she brought to their matches, challenging the s, and the incredible memories from their time together on Total Divas. 
 
Saraya opens up about her connection to her ring name, how she got her real name, and pushing the boundaries and getting into trouble when she had her WWE prank show.
 
She also talks about dating Ronnie Radke from Falling in Reverse, why Brie didn’t appear in one of the band’s music videos, being a stepmom, the possibility of marriage, if she’d ever return to the ring, and connecting with fans on Twitch. There were some legendary Saraya songs and jingles from Total Divas, but…could we hear some music from Saraya the singer, soon? 
 
Nikki’s also ready to campaign to secure Saraya a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame and maybe a spot on Dancing With the Stars.

It's Earth Day, and you've picked a great way to celebrate Mother Nature and Mother Earth!



First, Brie is fresh off a week in Santa Fe with Bryan where they relaxed, recharged, inspired by their experiences with the environment, and they also got a few history lessons along the way. It wasn't a flawless trip, though. Brie had a luggage mixup that caused a lot of problems, and things got a little weird.



To celebrate Earth Day, Nikki & Brie talk about their love of the planet and the big and small steps they take to change things for the better.

Yes, it has been confirmed that Nikki indeed cares about the planet! A lot, actually! Nikki spent some time with The Environmental Working Group last week, which has been inspiring for her to do even more to leave a smaller carbon footprint.



This year, Brie is putting a lot of focus on eliminating the plastics in her life, and Nikki is all about supporting the businesses that actually care about the state of the planet we're leaving for future generations.



To close the episode out, Brie shares an Inspiration & Affirmation that will have you hugging the planet and cutting down on your single-use containers.

Earth Day is Every Day

Nikki & Brie might not be at Coachella this year, but they’re bringing the festival vibes to The Nikki & Brie Show!



Twinchella means flower crowns, day drinking, fashion, getting curious, and talking music!



From the Warped Tour to Bottlerock to Stagecoach to Country Jam USA, Nikki & Brie are experienced in festivals! In true festival fashion, there’s a Nikki Stage and Brie Stage as the Garcia Twins alternate topics to talk about, and it all opens with a chat about No Doubt, followed by iconic and embarrassing festival moments, iconic lineups, the best choices for daytime and nighttime events, the proper mindset, and the proper plan for the perfect food experience.



They also talk about their love of live music, going to concerts by themselves, and missed opportunities to see bands they love that still haunt them to this day.



And the headliner: Nikki & Brie have a big decision to make about Bottlerock this year…so what are they going to do???



Brie closes out the episode with an Inspiration & Affirmation quote that’s all about festivals, life, and the joy of celebration, and if you can’t go to the festival, bring the festival vibes to your life because, really, you don’t need reasons to celebrate life.

Twinchella

After their first team practice, Nikki & Brie are officially t-ball coaches! They’re all in on motivating their young players, coming up with strategies to connect with their young players and have an impact on their lives. The season hasn’t officially started, but it’s reignited a competitive passion in both of them!

They both reflect on amazing coaches from soccer and track in their past, the commitment those coaches had to empower young players and athletes, and how Nikki & Brie envision their own coaching careers might play out. 

Nikki realized that getting on the field as a coach has given her a new purpose that she’s been missing. She rediscovered herself feeling lost in the first few years of motherhood and the steps she’s taken to reconnect with herself over those three-and-a-half years and where Fearless Nicole fits into things.

Nikki also opens up about how she seriously considered joining AEW, why she’s holding off for now, and Brie’s thoughts on returning to the rind as her tag partner. 

Brie went on a hike with Bryan to celebrate their 10-year anniversary, and there was something she saw on the trail that prompted her to turn around and cut the nature walk short. That decision allowed her to go swimming with Bryan and once again see how great he is at doing the dog paddle in the pool. 

To close out the episode, Coach Brie chooses a quote that exemplifies her philosophy as a t-ball coach.

Nikki: Lost & Found

Nikki & Brie are back at the speakeasy, and they have a lot to celebrate in today’s episode.

Brie’s also celebrating 10 years of marriage with Bryan and contemplates going big for a gift or doing something more personal. 

They’re also loved going on the NCAA Final Four ride with Caitlin Carter and they’re impressed with what she’s done, what’s ahead of her, setting a new standard for women in sports, and how her impact can continue to grow at the next level. 

Nikki & Brie also spent a wild weekend in Phoenix partying at Wild Horse Pass at Gila River Casino in Chandler, AZ, seeing E-40 and Ice Cube perform, but Nikki & Brie might not be able to hang like they used to. Maybe it’s Mercury Retrograde? 

The Garcia Twins also talk about the need for routine and recognizing what really makes them happy, a callback to the episode with Jason Tartick, and using that information to be comfortable saying “no,” and prioritizing their joy. 

Nikki & Brie are also about to embark on another new adventure that could put them to the test, they signed up to coach Buddy and Matteo’s T-Ball team. and Buddy has already made it known that he’s not happy about it at all. Brie is focused on being a great motivator for the team and Nikki’s focused on looking like a coach and choosing the right outfits that let everyone on the team know that she’s an authority figure. The biggest struggle so far has been choosing a team name. 

There’s also a big debate on participation awards, medals, and trophies, but Nikki & Brie have their sights set on first place. 

Brie closes the episode out with her pick for Inspiration & Affirmation that brings her back to nature and enjoying your own definition of “life” more.
