This & STFU: Decision Fatigue, No Spend Week & 8 Moms on Vacation Nov 10, 2026

Show notes

My ex suggested a different winter basketball league for our daughter and all 200 squirrels in my brain started dancing. Okay, are you doing the registration? The payment? The calendar? The equipment? The rides? Because my brain just did all of that while you were still saying “basketball.”

Then I saw that video of eight moms on vacation asking each other who was watching their kids. Can you imagine eight dads on a golf trip going around the table asking that question? I need you to picture it. We’re talking decision fatigue, who gets to be the person with the idea, and who ends up figuring out how the hell to make it happen.

Also, I’m trying to spend zero dollars this week, which lasted right up until I found a Starbucks gift card. Gift cards count as zero dollars in this house. Apparently we’re all in the mood to purge our houses and get our finances together, so let’s see how long I last. And I got my monthly bodywork, felt like my nervous system finally unclenched, and then my son accidentally elbowed me in the jaw and I bawled. So there’s that.

Then we get into Dancing with the Stars, Oasis and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and my little treasure hunts for the Trader Joe’s Princess Cake, those viral mango ice creams I’m already regretting telling you about, and the Starbucks barista surprise box.

What was the one tiny decision that took you out this week? My dancing squirrels salute yours.

I Have a Million-Dollar Business Idea for Women 😂 | THIS & STFU Nov 07, 2026

Show notes

Apparently, I can run a business, raise two kids, and manage an entire household, but I cannot locate the correct circuit breaker in my own home.

Welcome back to THIS & STFU with Nicki Marie, where today's solo episode takes a few unexpected turns.

After a suspiciously flawless school morning ends with a forgotten homework folder, I introduce my latest million-dollar business idea: Let Me Borrow Your Husband.com. Because sometimes a girl just needs someone to show up with tools, assemble her impulsive TikTok purchases, and leave without asking 47 questions.

We're also talking about my brother Frankie's unsolicited content critiques, my new podcast setup, my dog Lily apparently stealing from the neighbors, and my growing fascination with women who have husbands who just HANDLE THINGS.

And because it's November, we're getting into the important questions: Are we decorating for Christmas earlier this year? And do we actually like Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, or are we all just chasing our childhood nostalgia?

It's a little motherhood, a little midlife, a lot of unnecessary storytelling, and absolutely no promise that we'll stay on topic.

Tell me in the comments: Would you use Let Me Borrow Your Husband.com? And are you already decorating for Christmas?

Nicki & Frankie: Family White Lies, Edible Arrangements + Sibling Yap Oct 29, 2026

Show notes

THIS & STFU Sibling Edition with Nicki & Frankie

Same family. Same sense of humor. Absolutely no agenda. 😂

My brother Frankie is back, and apparently we had some very important things to discuss.

Family white lies (you know, the ones everyone agrees to just go along with), the Sexiest Man of the Year, Dancing with the Stars, Edible Arrangements, and the fact that somehow the entire fall season is disappearing before we've even properly enjoyed it.

Which led to a very serious sibling agreement: We WILL do something festive tonight. Even if that means drinking a pumpkin beer and sending each other photographic evidence that we're participating in the season. 🍂🍺

Basically, it's two siblings talking about everything and nothing, laughing at ourselves, and trying to romanticize our lives one ridiculous little moment at a time.

Welcome to THIS & STFU — the podcast where you can turn your brain off, laugh a little, and listen to someone else's nonsense for a change.

Grab your coffee, fold some laundry, take a walk, or pretend you're being productive. We've got you. 😂

THIS & STFU | Personality Hires, SAHM Swap & Halloween Week Oct 27, 2026

Show notes

Apparently, I was a personality hire before personality hires were even a thing. 😂

This week on THIS & STFU, we're taking a little trip down memory lane to my early career, including the job I DIDN'T get because I wore open-toed shoes to the interview (and how I managed to get hired anyway). Turns out, being a bubbly bitch with a little grit can take you places.

We're also discussing my lifelong overachiever tendencies and my latest fantasy: swapping lives with a stay-at-home mom who has a husband bringing home the bacon. 😂 Not because I think the grass is greener, but because I'm CURIOUS. What would it feel like to lean all the way into my soft girl era and let someone else worry about the bills for a minute?!

Meanwhile, my brain is still operating exactly as it did in my college dorm room in the '90s, when someone would suggest a card game with complicated instructions and I'd immediately shut down. Apparently, some things never change. Especially when a brand sends me seven rounds of edits.

And can we PLEASE discuss why UBE IS A FUCKING ROOT VEGETABLE?! Because I'm still personally offended that Chobani put it in my coffee creamer.

Plus, it's Halloween week, and I'm making a conscious effort to stop doing ALL THE THINGS and actually enjoy the season before it's gone. We're talking cozy fall nights, apple nachos, Dancing with the Stars, pumpkin everything, and all the little traditions that make this time of year feel special.

Basically, a little nostalgia, a little self-reflection, and a whole lot of unnecessary commentary.

No experts. No homework. No pressure to improve your life. Just a little mindless girl talk for women who are doing the most and could use a break from thinking.

BUBBLY BITCHES UNITE! 🫧

Grab your coffee, go for a walk, fold your laundry, or do absolutely nothing. You're among friends.

Love ya. Stay bubbly!

ADHD, Paris Hilton & a Disney Mom on the Loose Oct 20, 2026

Show notes

47 open tabs, two kids, one suitcase, and somehow an invitation to Paris Hilton's house. 😂 Welcome to another week inside my brain.

This week on This & STFU, we're catching up on ALL of it. The pre-vacation chaos, the invisible mental load of motherhood, my ongoing battle with packing, and the approximately 947 things that need to happen before a mom can actually leave the house.

Then we're off to Southern California, where I attended an ADHD event at Paris Hilton's house (a sentence I still can't believe I'm saying), caught up with my brother Frankie, watched the kids enjoy some Uncle Frankie time, and headed to Disneyland for a little Disney magic.

But underneath all the chaos, we're talking about something I think a lot of women understand: being the person who remembers everything for everyone while simultaneously forgetting why you walked into a room.

Plus, I'm answering some of your Instagram questions!

It's motherhood, ADHD, midlife adventures, family, and a whole lot of laughing at ourselves.

Grab your coffee, come hang out, and let's talk about THIS & STFU. ❤️

Nicki & Frankie: Spooky Season, Being Single + Writing a Book Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

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 Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

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 Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

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.

How I Planned My FIRST Disney Cruise 🚢 | My Disney Friends Tell Me Everything Sep 12, 2026

Show notes

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.

Nicki Unplugged: Maycember | Scrapbooking | Gym Membership May 27, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to another hilariously raw episode of Unplugged with Nicki Marie! Today, Nicki is diving headfirst into the chaotic survival season known to moms everywhere as Maycember. From unexpected school field trips to rapid-fire sports schedules, managing the end of the school year is a full-blown conundrum—especially when you are a working solo parent balancing severe ADHD .

In this unfiltered sit-down, Nicki does the shocking math on her long-ignored gym membership and adds up what she's been paying on average per workout. The fix? Cancel it on the spot and buy a certain piece of coveted workout equipment!

Then, we transition into an epic 1990s nostalgia scrapbook deep dive. Nicki unearths dead roses, old Disney postcards, and cringe-worthy high school love letters from the early 90's that perfectly expose early relationship red flags. She also reflects on her childhood modeling school days and shares powerful parenting advice inspired by her time as a bench-warmer for a 1988 New England Little League championship team .

To wrap things up, Nicki shares what it really feels like to wish for a relaxed brain, letting us into a vulnerable, rapid-fire motherhood stream of consciousness that tracks everything from pool chemicals to processing her daughter's final year of elementary school .
