Little Talks with Big Nikki
by Nicole
I started this podcast to discuss my personal journey through life. As human beings, we all share similar human experiences. I talk about relationships, human behavior, faith and how my personal experiences mold and change me into the person I am continually becoming. A lot of what we all feel and go through is relatable and I believe that sharing your experiences, even the painful ones, can help others cope and gain courage to do the same. Welcome to the "Little Talks with Big Nikki" family, we'd love to have you!
