    I Tried Dr. Arthur Brooks' 4 Marriage Rules… Here's What Happened | Chai Tea with Nina D

    What if the reason your relationship feels different… isn't because love faded  but because you stopped doing the small things that mattered most? After hearing Dr. Arthur Brooks share his four rules for saving marriages, we decided to put them to the test in our own relationship.  What happened surprised me.. In this episode, I react to Dr. Brooks' advice and share what it actually looked like to apply it in real time…the resistance, the ego, the uncomfortable moments… and the shifts that brought us back to each other. From choosing fun over grievances to rebuilding connection through simple daily practices, this isn't theoretical relationship advice. This is what happens when you take it seriously. Because sometimes the spark doesn't die. It just gets buried under resentment, stress, and routine. And sometimes the fix is simpler — and harder — than you think. 💡 What You'll Learn: ✅ The one habit we didn't realize we had stopped ✅ Why "fun over grievances" hit us the hardest ✅ How small daily shifts change relationship energy ✅ What resentment quietly does to intimacy ✅ Why ego is the biggest barrier to connection ✅ How to choose each other again… intentionally If this resonates, don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT your biggest takeaway, and SUBSCRIBE for more honest conversations about love, growth, and partnership. 💻 Watch on YouTube 📱 Listen on Spotify 🎧 Available on Apple Podcasts Follow @NinaPalDixon & @ChaiTeaWithNinaD for behind-the-scenes and daily insights.

    She Went on Shark Tank, said NO — Then Built a $14M Brand | Megan Klein on Chai Tea with Nina D.

    In this episode, Megan Klein, founder of the non-alcoholic cocktail company Little Saints, shares the unfiltered story behind building a $14 million dollar brand without venture capital, hype, or a safety net. Launching during COVID, navigating early missteps, and facing moments where the company nearly collapsed, Megan was forced to make hard decisions - not just about her business, but about herself. As Little Saints grew alongside a cultural shift around alcohol, Megan was also quietly reevaluating her own relationship with drinking, and shaping intuition, discernment, and self-trust into essential leadership skills. From appearing on Shark Tank to learning when to say no, this conversation explores what it really takes to build something sustainable - internally and externally - as a solo female founder. It's a candid look at resilience, sobriety, self-worth, and the discipline required to keep going when no one is coming to save you. What You'll Learn: ✅ Why intuition is a skill you can train, not a trait you're born with ✅ How to make aligned decisions when everything feels at stake ✅ What sobriety revealed about Megan's leadership and self-worth ✅ How saying no became a growth strategy, not a limitation ✅ How to distinguish intuition from fear or impulsivity when making high-stakes decisions ✅ Why growth sometimes requires subtraction — and how letting go can be a strategic advantage ✅ What it looks like to lead a company while actively redefining your identity and values If this conversation challenged or inspired you, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and COMMENT with your biggest takeaway.  🎥 Watch on YouTube 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts 📱 Watch on Spotify Follow @NinaPalDixon & @ChaiTeaWithNinaD for behind-the-scenes moments and daily insights.

    How High Performers Get Unstuck | Chai Tea with Nina D.

    Feeling stuck doesn't mean you're broken. It usually means fear has quietly taken the driver's seat. In this solo episode, Nina breaks down why feeling stuck is so often rooted in fear… and how decision paralysis keeps high achievers frozen far longer than their actual circumstances ever do. Getting unstuck isn't about finding perfect clarity or waiting for the "right" moment. It's about reclaiming your agency through decision and action. Even small decisions, when acted on immediately, create momentum… and momentum restores confidence, control, and perspective. This episode is a grounded reminder that your life changes the moment you decide to move… not when fear disappears. What You'll Learn: ✅ Why fear (not lack of options) is the real source of feeling stuck ✅ How decision-making restores a sense of control and reduces anxiety ✅ Why momentum matters more than certainty ✅ A simple rule for turning decisions into real change ✅ How to shift from waiting for life to change → choosing to change your life 👉 If this conversation challenged or inspired you, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and COMMENT with your biggest takeaway.  🎥 Watch on YouTube 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts 📱 Watch on Spotify Follow @NinaPalDixon & @ChaiTeaWithNinaD for behind-the-scenes moments and daily insights.
