Nikki Erlick: Cultivating Creativity, Overcoming Fears, & Chasing A Lifelong Dream

This week Andrew talks with New York Times bestselling author Nikki Erlick. Nikki’s debut novel, The Measure, was an instant New York Times bestseller when it was published back in 2022. It was selected as Jenna Bush Hager and The TODAY Show’s Read With Jenna Book Club pick. After The Measure, Nikki’s latest book, The Poppy Fields, was an instant USA Today Bestseller and one of Amazon Books ‘Best of 2025’. As you will hear, the success & acclaim has impacted Nikki’s life in so many positive ways — but it’s also activated new fears, uncertainty, & unknowns she’s had to confront head-on. This conversation is a rare, candid look at Nikki's creative process, how she works, & the vulnerable ideas she wrestles with along the way. ** Follow Andrew **Instagram: @AndrewMoses123X: @andrewhmosesSign up for e-mails to keep up with the podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletterDISCLAIMER: This podcast is solely for educational & entertainment purposes.
