Fired & Blessed

Would love to hear your thoughts!What happens after you’re fired from your dream job?Former Nashville morning news anchor Nikki Burdine joins me for a raw, honest conversation about losing her TV career — and why she now believes it was part of a bigger plan.Two weeks after I left WABC, Nikki’s Instagram post announcing her departure crossed my feed in what felt like divine timing. I reached out. She responded. That one message turned into a friendship rooted in shared newsroom experiences, faith, and reinvention.In this episode, we talk about:• The day she was fired — and what no one prepares you for • The emotional spiral that follows job loss • Rewiring “fired” into “favored” • Her new social media series, Fired Girl Chronicles • Transitioning from morning anchor to content creator • The untold realities of TV news culture • Living and working in television with Tourette Syndrome • Finding faith when your identity feels shakenIf you’ve ever been laid off, pushed out, or forced into a pivot you didn’t choose — this conversation will resonate deeply.Sometimes what feels like rejection is redirection. And sometimes getting fired is the push toward your true calling.This episode is sponsored by Dude Wow Cocktails — bold flavor, real ingredients, and yes… it’s really good.Get 10% off with code TURBULENCE26.
