UNPLUGGED with Nicki Marie

Nicki & Frankie: Spooky Season, Being Single + Writing a Book

nickimarieinc — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Fall is here, Frankie is back, and apparently I have a book to write. Small problem: I have absolutely no idea what it was supposed to be about.

This week, my brother and I are talking all things fall—Halloween memories, fall fashion at 49, being single, manifesting what you want while also remembering to be grateful for what you already have, our Nantucket antics, and the vein in my leg that somehow earned its own segment.

We also get into my upcoming California trip, what the hell I'm supposed to wear to Paris Hilton's house, and the fact that I manage to bring up Disneyland approximately three times despite Frankie making it VERY clear he could not care less.

And finally: the book.

I apparently had a book idea so good that it led to a conversation with a publisher. The meeting is coming up. The idea? Gone. So naturally, we end the episode searching my Notes app for evidence that my ADHD brain didn't permanently delete my future literary career.

Just another normal conversation between siblings.

This & STFU with Nicki Marie — come hang out. We're not solving anything. We're just discussing it.

I Couldn’t Let Go of the Art Table + Somehow I’m Going to Paris Hilton’s House

nickimarieinc — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 11:00:00 GMT

I put my kids’ old art table out to be donated…and then sat there staring at it while approximately 400 years of motherhood flashed before my eyes. So naturally, I brought it back inside. We’re not ready. 😂

This week’s solo episode is a little bit of everything: my current Dancing with the Stars obsession, why I’m rooting for Jackson Olsen and Connor Wood, the casual invitation I got to go to California TO PARIS HILTON’S HOUSE (???), and some ADHD thoughts because obviously.

And then we get a little sentimental. I’m coaching field hockey this fall, and being back in a sport that has been such a huge part of my life has reminded me of a piece of myself I didn’t realize I missed this much.

Basically: motherhood, midlife, ADHD, Paris Hilton, field hockey and an art table I apparently plan to keep until my children are 47.

THIS & STFU. Let me live.

My Gym Membership, Pre-Teen Mom Life + Disneyland California

nickimarieinc — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 21:01:23 GMT

Welcome to THIS & STFU — where I have some things to say, very few solutions, and absolutely no intention of pretending I have my life figured out.

This week: I joined a gym (apparently we're doing that now), I'm deep in my pre-teen mom era, and we're heading back to Disneyland California — so naturally I have thoughts.

We're talking motherhood, getting older, trying to take care of myself while simultaneously managing everyone else's life, Disney plans, and whatever else my ADHD brain decides we need to discuss along the way.

No advice. No perfect morning routines. No five steps to becoming your best self.

Just me talking about life while I'm living it.

This & STFU. Let me live. 😂

🎙️ New episodes every week with Nicki Marie — sometimes solo, sometimes with my brother Frankie, always slightly unhinged.

Single Married Moms?, My Comfy Dad Shoes, and the Motherhood Change No One Talks About

nickimarieinc — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

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.

THIS and STFU w/ Nicki and Frankie : Dating, Blizzards + Travel Behavior

nickimarieinc — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 11:00:00 GMT

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.

Family / Parenting Expert, Jo Frost (aka: SUPERNANNY) | Unplugged w/ Nicki Marie | Episode #7

nickimarieinc — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 19:30:00 GMT

Today's guest is Jo Frost. Jo is a global parenting expert who has been working with families since 1987. Many of us know her as Supenanny from the award winning television show, Supernanny, where she showed us the vulnerable, challenging sides of parenting that so many of us feel, but aren't always equipped for. Jo is also a recognized TV personality, New York Times best-selling author, global thought leader in the parenting arena, in-demand speaker, consultant as well as the go-to expert for media outlets around the world. Today, I am honored to have a friendly (and vulnerable) conversation with Jo about life as a conscious, mindful and present parent. This conversation started several weeks ago in my instagram DM's and I said to myself "gosh, so many other parents need to hear this", hence, my podcast! My most exciting part of my social media growth is that I get to share THIS STUFF with you! Because let's be honest, we all need time to reflect on our own self-growth, goals and values. Let's start together, today, with this episode. Without further ado, I invite you into a conversation between instagram friends: Jo Frost and Nicki Marie. Thanks for being here. I hope you enjoy it.

Connor Tomlinson, Lise & The Love Story Before Season 4 of Love on the Spectrum (GREATEST HITS)

nickimarieinc — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

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.

Raising Securely Attached Kids | Unplugged w/ Nicki Marie | Episode #9

nickimarieinc — Mon, 04 Nov 2024 20:30:00 GMT

Eli Harwood @attachmentnerd is today's guest. She is a mom of 3, a relationship nerd, a therapist and an author of a best selling book "Raising Securely Attached Kids".
This episode is dedicated to those "my kid is the center of my universe" parents so we can understand where we can give our kids (and ourselves) the toolkit to resilience and security, while also giving us a bit of grace in the process.
Our conversation was an important one for me because I often wonder if I am too anxiously attached to my identity of "MOM".
Eli and I talk about some things that may affect our attachments, such as loss / grief, divorce, ADHD and how our own upbringing plays a huge part in how we are now raising our own children. It's an easy listen and the best part is, we leave you with some tangeables for you to put into practice in your own lives.
I am excited to share this conversation with you because if it helps out one person, one family, then the conversation has done it's job.
Holla at ya girl. Stay for more!
Love ya,
Nicki

From Loss to Light: CelinaSpookyBoo’s Journey to Motherhood

In this episode, I’m joined by the one and only CelinaSpookyBoo — the internet’s favorite funny girl turned new mama — for a conversation that’s equal parts heart and humor.

Celina opens up about her road to motherhood, from pregnancy loss and infertility to the beautiful gift of surrogacy that brought her family to life. We talk about the kind of grief that never fully leaves, the joy of holding your rainbow baby, and how laughter can sometimes be the best form of healing.

And because it’s spooky season 👻, we couldn’t resist chatting about her Haunted Estate series, her sleepwalking videos, and how she finds balance between the light and the dark sides of life.

This episode is a love letter to every woman who’s ever loved and lost, waited and hoped, and found her way back to herself again. 💫

Your Fave Social Media Siblings | Unplugged w/ Nicki Marie | Episode #6

nickimarieinc — Mon, 14 Oct 2024 19:30:00 GMT

Social media has become a huge fan of our brother + sister outings, random humor and the adventures of two adult siblings. Yes, that's us. Frankie is my brother and he was born when I was 18 and my mom was 40. Even though I was grossed out at the news that my mom was pregnant, when I was laser focused on enjoying my senior year in high school and my college field hockey endeavors, it turned out that my moms "gross" pregnancy led to one of the best things that's ever happened to me. MY LITTLE BROTHER.

Frankie lives in California and I am here in Massachusetts, so we don't always get to create content together but when we do, it's a hit. And, when we are long distance, we are chatting about brand deals and social media growth.

Join us for this brother / sister chat about life as siblings, my recent dabble into an edible, our recent day at King Richard's Renaissance Faire and life with a bonus brother and step parent.
Holla at ya gurl, stay for more. Thanks for listening.

An Unexpected Perspective on Mental Health | Unplugged /w Nicki Marie | Episode #3

nickimarieinc — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 19:33:00 GMT

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is defined as - a type of love that is given freely, without conditions or expectations, and without regard for personal benefit. WOAH. Read that again. AND AGAIN.

If you're anything like me, you've always used the term "unconditional love" to define a deep feeling of connection with another. For me, it's indefinitely what motherhood feels like for me. But, outside of motherhood, how capable are we of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE? Talk about a thought starter! ...

Let's take a deeper dive into this, as I invite you into a conversation about love and mental health from a lens that you probably (definitely) weren't expecting.

Welcome, Kellie. A mother, daughter, a sister, a wife and a licensed mental health professional in the prison system as well as the hospital emergency department for those who are mentally ill. Kellie is the epitome of humanitarian.

Listening to her speak about her passion will certainly make you think about the people in your life and in the world around you. How different our feelings are, how different our perspectives can be and how matters or the heart are never a "one size fits all".

The takeaway: the importance of LOVING and showing up for our children, while also realizing how much further we have to go, as a society, when it comes to HURT / PAIN / SELF-LOVE and MENTAL HEALTH.

The disclaimer: this is a broad stroke on the topic of mental health and in this conversation we are diving into what it means to help others who are really looking to change their lives and change their outcome.

Love you all, thanks for listening.

Ya girl - Nicki

Divorce : From the Child's Perspective | Unplugged w/ Nicki Marie | Episode #13

nickimarieinc — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 20:30:00 GMT

Online, we always hear about divorce from a parents perspective. When we hear about co-parenting, we often hear professionals speak to "what's best for the kids". Today, we hear it from the child's perspective, thanks to my instagram friend, Bella Duncan. I started following her page A KID WITH TWO HOMES, in 2022 and immediately fell in love with her advocacy for children of divorce and the emphasis on what it was like to grow up in a high conflict divorce. She is proof that when parents can amicably co-parent, it makes a world of difference for the kid. Even if marriage isn't forever, divorce is, when there are kids in the mix. This episode is a must for anyone who is going through a divorce, anyone who comes from divorce (to honor your inner child) and anyone who loves someone who has been through divorce. I come from divorce and I am a strong woman, loving mother, compassionate human and divorce has not only been a huge part of who I grew up to be but also the reason that I ended up here, on social media, after my own separation in 2020. My goal is to DO WHAT IS BEST for my own kids while also remembering what "little Nicki" felt when she was going through it. So, join the conversation as we explore what NOT TO DO to your kids during your divorce journey. Also, the timing of this is perfect because co-parenting during the holiday season brings on extra feels. I got you. Bella's got you.

How I Planned My FIRST Disney Cruise 🚢 | My Disney Friends Tell Me Everything

nickimarieinc — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 22:00:01 GMT

I’m going on my FIRST EVER Disney Cruise… and instead of pretending I know what I’m doing, I called in reinforcements. 😂🚢✨

I asked some of my favorite Disney people — serious Disney Cruise lovers, creators, and friends who have done this WAY more than I have — to tell me their MUSTS, favorite things, first-timer tips, and the stuff they wish they knew before their first cruise.

You’ll hear from some very familiar Disney faces, including:

AJ from Disney Food Blog, Youtube | Instagram | Disney Food Blog

Adam & Christina from The Sunshine Explorers | Instagram

Lex & Cody from Lost BrosQ, Youtube | Instagram | TikTok

And if you missed it we had a special stand alone episode with Molly from Mammoth Club, (Youtube | Instagram) that you can find here.

I basically asked them:

🚢 What do I HAVE to do?

🍽️ What should I eat?

🛳️ What should I know before I board?

🏝️ What are the best things to do on the ship?

✨ What are the things first-time cruisers totally miss?

💰 What is actually worth it?

🤫 And what does nobody tell you until you've already figured it out the hard way?

So if you’re a Disney Cruise newbie like me, consider this your invitation to steal all of their best advice.

This is how I planned for my first Disney Cruise… by asking my Disney friends what they would do. ❤️

And then, of course, I took you with me.

A Chat Between BFFs | Unplugged w/ Nicki Marie | Episode #2

nickimarieinc — Mon, 16 Sep 2024 21:35:45 GMT

I heard you loud and clear...you're in my DM's and in the comment section on IG, Facebook + TikTok whenever I talk about FRIENDSHIP IN ADULTHOOD, FRIENDSHIP in MOTHERHOOD and most recently, I tossed out the "how involved should I be with my kids friendships" question.

So many of you are LONGING FOR CONNECTION but also overwhelmed on where to even pull time from in order to created more connection.

Some of us are feeling disappointed in your adult friendships that exist and you're wondering if you should "break up" with a friend (and the guilt that comes with it).

To continue the conversation, I felt it was only fitting for me to call up one of my real life BFFs, who I admire deeply.

Please meet Jessa. She is a social emotional consultant specializing in helping kids with different developmental delays such as autism, ADHD and anxiety.

She runs social friendship groups, helps parents navigate stages of parenthood, provides emotional regulation tools while incorporating mindfulness, yoga, healthy eating and exercise. She is a rockstar friend, wife, mother, daughter and is the epitome of SISTERHOOD (someone I deeply admire, if you couldn't already tell).

Jessa has been there for me for some of the best and worst days of my life, and I am honored to introduce her to you. ️ She doesn’t spend a lot of time on social media but if you want to check out more of her, she’s at @socialandkind (I keep telling her the world needs more of her…)

nickimarieinc — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 19:30:00 GMT

Today's episode is inspired by a girl who is rewriting her Happily Ever After (me) and in the first chapter, she wants to introduce you to some of the most impactful characters in the story.

Meet Renee Hawk, THE DIVORCE LAWYER.

I hired Renee in February of 2021 and we just finalized my divorce in January of 2024 so, needless to say, she has had a front row seat to my divorce journey and my goal is to give the gift of Renee (her insights, experiences, bad-assery) to you all. Because, strong women need strong women and that's exactly my goal today is to remind you that you ARE STRONG, YOU ARE DESERVING and YOU ARE NOT ALONE in this world that may sometimes leave you second guessing yourself.

This podcast episode is not just about DIVORCE, it's about marriage, marital roles, what women are feeling and also it might leave you with some thoughts if you are wondering if you are happy or not. My goal, no matter what, is to DO THE WORK that it takes to create your Happily Ever After.

THANK YOU FOR SPENDING YOUR PRECIOUS TIME WITH ME.

SUPERNANNY PART 2
Today's guest is Jo Frost. Jo is a global parenting expert who has been working with families since 1987.

My most exciting part of my social media growth is that I get to share THIS STUFF with you! Because let's be honest, we all need time to reflect on our own self-growth, goals and values.

Nicki Unplugged: Smash or Pass Snacks, Manifesting Your Dreams, and Trusting Your Gut

nickimarieinc — Wed, 20 May 2026 10:00:00 GMT

This week Nicki Marie dives into the great debate over what actually counts as a healthy snack anymore, sharing her honest takes on overhyped grocery aisle fads, protein bars that feel a bit like bricks, and the ever-evolving "milk parade". If navigating grocery store health claims leaves you feeling more confused than comforted, you're not the only one!

On the family front, Nicki explores the constant balancing act of household schedules and takes a warm, funny look at making the conscious choice to step back from an intense sports routine so kids can simply enjoy being kids. This pivots into some joyful throwbacks to her own childhood adventures in trying new things—featuring a brief attempt at learning breakdancing on a trampoline and a memorable growth spurt that left her performing in a middle school jazz recital dressed as a giant polar bear.

To round it all out, the universe delivers a beautifully timed distraction when a wild yellow bird repeatedly visits her deck, sparking a deeper conversation about honoring your intuition, letting go of hidden stress, and finding your grounding after life's heavy seasons. Nicki wraps up with a fun breakdown of her ultimate daily snack plate creation and a peek at the ultimate puzzle: trying to fit a massive summer bucket list into a fleeting New England calendar.

Former podcast guest Jackson Olson was also announced as a contestant on the new episode of Dancing with the Stars. Check out Nicki's conversation with Jackson and what he had to say about Dancing with the Stars back then!

Sibling Banter: Tom Brady | Frankie's 2025 Hairstyles | Nicki Takes Away Screen Time

nickimarieinc — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Sibling banter at its finest. In this episode of Unplugged With Nicki Marie, Nicki and Frankie are back with unfiltered family conversations, pop culture takes, and real-life parenting chaos.

They kick things off reacting to the internet buzz around Tom Brady and Alix Earle on a yacht. Nicki jokes that she should be Alix Earle’s ugly, funnier friend on the yacht, then admits that thinking about Tom Brady and Gisele’s split still makes her sad—especially as someone who understands the realities of co-parenting after divorce.

From there, the episode turns personal as Frankie breaks down his many 2025 hair eras, including the cuts he loved, the ones he didn’t, and why hair identity is very real. Nicki also opens up about parenting decisions in 2025, including taking away her kids’ screen time, what actually happens when the iPads disappear, and why sibling rivalry can go from harmless to unhinged in seconds.This episode is funny, nostalgic, honest, and chaotic in the best way
