It’s Rapid Fire time on IC Connections ⚡️✨ In Episode 12, Hallmark favorite, actress, producer, philanthropist—and all-around heart-led human—Nikki DeLoach joins me for a fast-paced, feel-good, and surprisingly meaningful round of questions. We jump from Hallmark tropes and cozy romance debates to Mickey Mouse Club nostalgia, pop culture favorites, and the quirks that make Nikki… Nikki.

Ep. 010 | Solo Session: The Unexpected Reset, Motherhood & Me

Ep. 010 | Solo Session: The Unexpected Reset, Motherhood & Me This episode is a little different — it’s just you and me. No guest, no co-host, no chaos… well, actually there is chaos, but it’s mine.  Back in May, I got laid off. Yep. Not on my 2024 bingo card. And while I can laugh about it now, it absolutely sent me into a full identity crisis, a motherhood juggling act, and a “who am I without a job title?” spiral. But here’s the twist: that curveball is exactly what made this podcast possible.  In this solo episode, I’m talking about what this unexpected reset has taught me — from rebuilding my confidence to learning to sit in the suck, to recognizing that human connection is the only thing keeping me from fully unhinging some days.   And because you all always come through… I’m answering your listener-submitted questions, including:  ✨ What’s one thing I had to unlearn from childhood as a wife and mom?  ✨ What’s the wildest thing I’ve done that no one knows about?  ✨ Which celebrity I’d drop everything for, immediately.  ✨ Do I want more kids? (The answer may surprise you!) From recording episodes in the DTLA library (yes… a library) to finding a new studio, new freelance work, and honestly a new version of myself — this season has been messy, humbling, hilarious, and surprisingly beautiful.  Let’s get cozy… and let’s get connected.💛 🎧 Tune in now — and let’s get connected!  🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe.  👉 Stay connected: @ilyanacapellan⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/ilyanacapellan/]on all socials  @ICConnectionsPod⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/icconnectionspod/] on all socials IC Connections 🎙️✨  ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ic-connections/id1838791340] | Spotify | ⁠YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@ICConnectionsPod/videos] 🎶 Music Credits: Composer: Sosin Mykola BMI IPI Number: 01077477915

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
