011: [Trying It All Mini-Series] Kicks To Spins: Our Pole Dancing Adventure

In this episode of Having It All, Nicole and Kelly kick off their new mini-series Trying It All — where they step out of their comfort zones and try new experiences, then bring the laughs, lessons, and a little vulnerability back to the mic. For their first adventure, they visited ExpressMie Pole Dance Studio in Chandler, AZ, for a private lesson with the amazing Lauren (@expressmie_poledance) — and let’s just say, it was equal parts empowering, humbling, and hilarious. They recap what the experience taught them about confidence, body awareness, and letting go of perfection… and yes, they even share footage of their final pole dancing routine. Tune in for the giggles, the soreness, and the surprising insights about strength, self-expression, and trying it all.

010: Women In Martial Arts: The Fight Beyond The Dojo

In this episode, Nicole and Kelly get brutally honest about what it’s really like to be a woman in the martial arts world. From growing up on the mats surrounded by men to fighting for recognition, respect, and representation, they open up about the unspoken differences women face every step of the way. They share stories from their early training days, the moments they felt unseen or underestimated, and how those experiences shaped who they are as athletes, instructors, and leaders today. But this conversation isn’t just about looking back. It’s about calling forward. Nicole and Kelly dive into what the future of martial arts could look like if more women had a voice, more seats at the table, and more visibility at every level of the sport. This one is part reflection, part reality check, and part rally cry for the next generation of women warriors coming up behind them. 👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more real conversations that challenge the norms and celebrate growth in and out of the dojo.

009: Let That Sh*t Go (and the Sports Bra Too)

It’s time to release what’s weighing you down—relationships, routines, old identities, and yes, that sad sports bra that’s been hanging on for way too long. In this episode, Nicole and Kelly get brutally honest about what it means to shed what no longer serves you. They talk about the things we hold onto out of guilt, comfort, or fear… and how freeing it feels when you finally decide to let them go. From friendships that have run their course to habits that don’t align with who you’re becoming, this conversation is part therapy, part wake-up call, and part laugh-out-loud girls’ night. Because when you finally clear the space—physically, mentally, emotionally—you have to be damn intentional about what (and who) you let back in. 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share if you’re ready to let that sh*t go and make room for more of what actually fits.

008: When You're Not Okay (And That's Okay)

In this episode, Nicole and Kelly get real and raw about what it means to not always be okay — even when you look like you’ve got it all together. They talk about taking off the mask, quieting the noise, and learning to truly listen to yourself. This is a conversation about vulnerability, self-awareness, and the courage to ask for help when you need it most. Because sometimes “having it all” starts with admitting you can’t do it all alone — and letting your allies show up for you.

007: Real Life Catch Up: Back-to-School, Meal Prep, and World Stage Goals

In this catch-up episode, Nicole and Kelly share what life really looks like as summer winds down and the back-to-school rush begins. From juggling kids’ activities and summer schedules to meal prep hacks, quick lunches, and simple dinner strategies, they talk about what’s working (and what’s not) in the middle of the chaos. Nicole also shares her latest bodybuilding wins and the exciting road ahead as she prepares to step onto the world stage this November. It’s an honest conversation about the everyday balancing act of motherhood, business, and chasing big dreams — proof that “having it all” doesn’t mean having it all figured out.
