In this episode, I cover how I was able to work through some of my darkest days and how I went from feeling complete despair in my life, to becoming a keeper and deliverer of hope.Having been able to reflect on my toughest moments, I realized four common denominators which helped me go from hope-less to hope-full.

  • 46. Am I a Feminist? with Nikki Spo

    05/17/2022

    HEY HEY HEY! Join me in this solo episode as I question whether or not I am... indeed... a feminist. What does that even mean to me anyway? In this short segment, I talk about some personal experiences that have shaped my view of autonomy and what it means to me to be a woman in today's world. I hope some of my personal examples might shed some light on experiences you may have faced, and inspire you to question your true feelings and thoughts. I also cover the importance of having MEN stand up with and NEXT TO women to promote women's sovereignty over their own bodies and minds. Enjoy!

    Embrace The Void

    Welcome friends, to a podcast for a darker timeline. Maybe the darkest of all timelines. Definitely not one of the good timelines. Maybe it’s always been a dark timeline, maybe the Hadron collider screwed us over. Science may never know. What we do know is that we live in the void. The void, a place where a chittering mass of void crabs can infest a person suit and win the presidency. The void, a place where we're just clever enough to know that climate change is happening, but not quite clever enough to do anything about it. The void seems terrible and cruel, but it loves you, in its own ironic way.

    Timothy Gray

    Live play podcast of the Morrow Project 4.0 Universe RPG game system. We use a lot of house rules instead of the standard rules in order to make the game more interesting to anyone listening by moving it along faster. The team is awakened before their demise more than 150 years later than expected and team up with a previous surviving project member and a local big game hunter to survive in the world and possibly make it a better place. Equipped with the latest in scientific and military technology when they were frozen in 2018, they have a technological advantage over the few survivors of World War III and the fall of modern society, but is it enough to survive the harsh world that awaits them.

    Cannonball of Death

    Welcome to Anti-wave Podcast, where Robert Cannon + Ira Heffler discuss all your Anti-wave movie needs. What the hell is Anti-wave, you ask? Great question. In short, Anti-wave is a way to describe films that seek to buck the typical Hollywood trends. Anti-wave is an opportunity to reimagine the way we construct genre films. Anti-westerns have been popular in the years since WWII, but where are the anti-sports films that try to shake off the expected formulaic writing? This podcast tries to find those films for you. Along the way, we deliver some laughs, get into film theory, and speak with filmmakers who share our anti-sentiment. So, welcome to Anti-wave Podcast! We hope you enjoy the ride.

    NOCLIP

    WELCOME TO NOCLIP! We are a fortnightly, book club-styled podcast in which we attempt to go in-depth on an individual video game and figure out what makes it unique. Episodes are around an hour to an hour and a half long and primarily feature free form discussion on themes and mechanics present in each episode’s titular game. Bear in mind that we are not reviewers, so as far as we critique the games at hand, our intent is not to convince you to play any particular work. SPOILER WARNING: Given the depth at which we intend to cover the games in question, those which feature a story, plot, mechanical surprises, fun moments you may not have heard about or otherwise will be fully discussed, likely at length. Given this, it is advised that you go into each episode with the understanding that these elements will most likely be spoiled. If you are sensitive to that sort of thing, we recommend that you either play the game before listening to the podcast, or skip the episode altogether. (Though

Episode Description

This week's episode of The Know with Nikki Spo is a different little vibe  - an episode within an episode! I had the privilege of joining the renowned podcast Motherish, hosted by Pamela Silva and Karen Comas. Together, we delved into the wild, wild world of motherhood, sharing our own "Motherish moments" and connecting on a deeply personal level. Our conversation revolves around the challenges we've faced as mothers, providing a comforting reminder that we are not alone in this journey. We are forming a strong, supportive community of women who are coming together and having open discussions about both the glamorous and the not-so-glamorous aspects of motherhood. Tune in for all the Motherish talk! 



In this episode… 

  • Our Motherish moments 
  • Age four 
  • Motherhood and personal perspectives
  • Having the hard conversations 
  • Vulnerability 
  • The power of community 
  • Comparing mother to mother 
  • Generational trauma
  • Self-discovery  
  • Raising a girl vs. boy
  • Healthy environments 
  • How YOU can find your support team 



Quotes:


“I feel a lot less alone in this whole process of mothering and everything.” - Nikki Spo


“As we grow we heal and we evolve. We live in the real world. We carry the parts of us and the experiences we had into our adulthood.” - Nikki Spo 


“We're breaking so much generational trauma while we educate our children.” - Karen Comas


“The best way to prevent child abuse is educating the parents.” - Pamela Silva


“We can't educate our children if we're not educated about it ourselves.” - Karen Comas


“I don't think anybody ever is healed. I think it's a life's work. I think it's an ongoing process. And I reserve the right to be wrong still, you know? I make mistakes, I'm going to mess up because I'm still a work in progress.” - Nikki Spo 


“I believe that girls challenge you in different ways than boys. We're the same right, we're both women.” - Karen Comas   


“We want our kids to see us happy and to see us feel good about ourselves and feel good, but sometimes it is challenging. It’s not as easy as it sounds” - Pamela Silva 


“We should just love ourselves and be careful. When they tell you not to cry when you're pregnant because the baby feels it, well they feel it too when they're not in your womb, you know? And we need to keep that mentality of being so protective of ourselves and what we expose ourselves to through their lifetime.” - Pamela Silva
