    Stuck in Park… How Am I Working This Hard & Still Not Moving?

    What happens when you're constantly moving…but somehow still feel like you're standing still? In this personal solo episode of Breaking the Silence Podcast, Author Nikki Nicole steps away from the usual guest interview and gets real about something many of us experience but don't always say out loud: “I'm tired.” Between work, family, responsibilities, podcasting, and everyday life, it's easy to become so focused on taking care of everything that you lose track of yourself. Nikki opens up about working hard and still questioning her progress, the reality of dealing with people in customer service, unexpected changes, exhaustion, feeling disconnected, and realizing that sometimes you have to pay attention when your mind and body tell you to slow down. She also asks a question that can be uncomfortable when you're used to being everything for everybody: What do I need? Maybe being in park doesn't mean the journey is over. Sometimes you stop because you need rest. Sometimes you need direction. Sometimes you need to check what's going on before you keep driving. And sometimes… PARK isn't punishment. It's preparation. This isn't an episode about having everything figured out. It's a real conversation from someone who's figuring it out too. If you've been working, surviving, showing up, and quietly wondering, “When do I actually get to live?”—this episode is for you. 🎙️ Breaking the Silence Podcast with Author Nikki Nicole Unleash Your Inner Voice.

    Unleashed Voices Playlist | Tatiana Marie Clark, Nikki's Pick & Jenx

    You ever hear a song for the first time and you're sitting there like, “Hold up… run that back!” 😂🎶 That's one of my favorite things about discovering independent music. Welcome back to another Unleashed Voices Playlist! I'm Author Nikki Nicole, and I'm back with more music, more artists, and a few songs I think you need to hear. 🌟 MY FEATURED ARTIST — TATIANA MARIE CLARK For this episode, I'm shining my Featured Artist spotlight on Tatiana Marie Clark and highlighting her album The Journey. I get to sit back, listen, vibe, and introduce you to some of her music along the way. 💯 MY NIKKI'S PICK Of course, I had to choose a Nikki's Pick! This time I'm going with “I Choose Me” by Jessica Gabrielle featuring Lady Lux. There's just something about finding that one song that catches my attention and makes me want to give it another spin. That's what Nikki's Pick is all about. 🎮 ARTIST SUBMISSION — JENX I'm also checking out music submitted directly to me by independent artists. This episode's Artist Submission comes from Jenx with the song “The Game” from the album Cognition. I'm listening, I'm vibing, and I'm deciding whether it's getting my Nikki Approved stamp. 👀🔥 But here's the thing—I don't want Unleashed Voices to just be about what I like. I want to know what YOU hear. Who caught your attention? What song would you play again? Who should I be watching? That's what makes this fun. And when you discover an artist you like, please go show them some love. Follow them, stream their music, share their songs, and let them know somebody is listening. 🎤 WANT ME TO HEAR YOUR MUSIC? If you're an independent artist and you've got a song you want me to check out, submit it for consideration: https://forms.gle/tu4VLbGQBLA7V2HE6 Submission does not guarantee placement or airplay. I'm Author Nikki Nicole, and this is Unleashed Voices—where I'm making room for independent voices, one song at a time. Your voice matters. Your story matters. Your music deserves to be heard. Unleash. Inspire. Impact.
