#197. In this soulful and honest conversation, I sit down with Lindsey Simcik, co-host of the Almost 30 podcast — someone I’ve considered an “older sister” of the internet. We talk about the disorienting experience of becoming a new version of yourself — in love, in identity, in life — and how to stay grounded in your truth through it all.
As I prepare for marriage, and Lindsey shares her spiritual journey and connection to her higher self, this episode unfolds like a love letter to the parts of ourselves we’re honoring, shedding, and returning to. From spirit guides to soul practices, identity shifts to divine timing — this one’s for anyone in the middle of becoming.
Almost 30 is available for pre-order now!

#196. You don’t need another green juice — you need to clean up your feed. In this episode, we’re going on a digital detox: unfollowing the people who make us spiral, muting the noise, and decluttering our digital lives for more clarity, calm, and confidence. If your phone is frying your brain, this is your sign to unplug and reset — one scroll-free moment at a time.

Everyone knows the best part of any night out is the pre-game. You know the vibes – feels like a hype session in the bathroom mirror. From group chat debriefs to deep dives into the latest headlines (with a drink in hand, of course). The Pre-Game with Kayla Nicole is exactly that: the party before the party. Each week, we’re diving into all the things you and your homegirls actually talk about, from pop culture tea and beauty secrets to those ‘what would you do?’ scenarios that have you screaming at your phone. It’s unfiltered, hilarious, and has just the right amount of chaos, served with a splash of tequila and zero apologies. So grab your gloss, pour up, and let’s pre-game.
