The Nikki & Brie Show

Brie is celebrating Birthday Week on the Nikki & Brie Show with another special guest, the girls' dad, Jon (Tata to the kids)! Jon joins the show all the way from Mexico and recounts his experience when the girls were born, how he learned to tell them apart as babies, being a teen parent, his work in agriculture, and much more! He also opens up about making memories with Nikki & Brie, including some wild teenage years and proud moments; then, Brie tests his daughter's knowledge with another round of Brie-ond the Basics. Will he score better than Kathy on Monday's episode? The episode closes out with a thoughtful and emotional Inspiration & Affirmation that features a surprise special guest who wants to say hi to his Tata!

Happy Monday! Today, Brie is joined by Kathy Colace (Gato to some, Mama Bella to many), the CEO Of JBN  & Associates, and it’s all about business.  Nikki & Brie are super proud that their mom and entrepreneurial icon, Kathy, has reached  25 years of success with her company,  JBN. Today, she sits down with Brie to talk about her approach to business, her path to launching the company, what got her through uncertain times, and where she sees ahead for the business landscape. Kathy also answers YOUR questions about launching a business, the need for a college degree, personal health, some tips to get things going for 2025, and much more! Brie also gets Kathy to play a game, Brie-ond the Basics; that’s all about how well she knows Brie, and Wednesday, the twins’ dad, John, is going try to answer all the same questions. Who do you think is going to finish with the higher score?  The episode winds down with Kathy’s pick for Inspiration  & Affirmation, which is all about being your own boss and growing as a leader. 

Brie is all in as a chicken farmer, but are the chickens keeping up their end of the bargain? She’s done everything to win them over, from feeding and cleaning to protecting, but Brie is just not seeing the egg output she thought the chickens would have by now. However, she has a few ideas on how to fix it.  Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Brie’s getting the Danielson Family in order for the big day and looking over her Gratitude List to ground herself in appreciation and acknowledgment. Because of the holidays and the weather, Birdie and Buddy have been inside more than usual over the past few days, and it’s got Brie thinking about how different her parenting style is with Buddy compared to Birdie and creative ways to get them outside to play and get dirty.  Then Brie has to make some tough choices with Rapid Fire Classifier: Thanksgiving. Brie HAS to decide what her favorite Thanksgiving dishes are and ultimately crown the perfect Thanksgiving food…but will it cause controversy or calmness in the comment section?  The episode closes out with a peaceful Inspiration & Affirmation that will put you in the mindset to handle anything, even a wild Thanksgiving!

Happy Monday! Brie is back on the mic after a few unexpected events that made her change the direction of the episode, and the new destination for today's show is love and self-expression. Switching things up on today's episode, things start with Inspiration & Affirmation. Brie's been putting a lot of work into connecting with the audience for this series of solo episodes, and it's pushed her creative boundaries in a good way. Self-expression is a topic that's been coming up in her life lately. From small moments to big examples, connecting with aspects of individuality for herself and for others is something that's screaming for her attention. Lately, she's been connecting with self-expression that reminds her of loved ones, some of which are no longer with us.  Before sitting down to tape today's episode, Brie got two calls today that reinforced the fact that life is unpredictable. The loss of a lifelong family friend and a concerning call about her mother, Kathy, brought her day to a screeching halt and forced her to be mentally and emotionally present. Tying it all together, Brie realizes that what unites all of us is our need for love and human connection.

Brie came clean to Bryan about the missing costume with a surprising result. Last week, Brie admitted that there was a high-level coverup when it came to Bryan’s Halloween costume that never arrived. Now he finally knows why he didn’t get to participate in the family’s Peter Pan group costume, but ever the optimist, Bryan found the silver lining to the story. She also recaps her big weekend with the family that planted a seed that Brie can’t wait to see grow over the next 10, 20, 30 years! She realized that she had started a new family tradition to share with Bryan, Birdie, and Buddy, and she can’t wait to see how it blossoms in the years to come! Brie also wants you to call the Nikki & Brie hotline at 833-GARCIA2. Their mom, Kathy (known to many as Mama Bella and known to some as GiGi), is coming on the show next week, and if you have questions about business or you’re feeling stuck in your entrepreneurial journey, call in and learn from her wisdom and experience! Reflecting on watching her mom work hard and set things in motion as an entrepreneur, Brie looks back at working for her mom and an awkward experience that happened on the job. To close out the episode, Brie picks a quote from Abraham Lincoln that talks about the balance of work and life for Inspiration & Affirmation.
