Can I Just Say? is a phrase that I often say and one which is deeply rooted in the essence of who I am. It is how I enter conversations, initiate connection, and invite people to share their stories. The idea being that this is a platform and community where guests and listeners have the freedom to say whatever is on your mind and in your heart. So, when somebody leads with, “Can I just say?”, my answer is an emphatic “YES.” As I embark on this next stage of my podcasting journey, guests will be going beyond what’s expected and diving into the more raw, vulnerable parts of their stories that don’t often get enough air time or perhaps they’ve never shared before. In keeping aligned with my personal values, I am focused on building a community of cycle-breakers who want to connect and grow together.

    Understanding Injustice, Creating Change with Rev Brig Feltus

    This insightful discussion delves into personal agency, control, identity, and the profound impact of systemic racism, with a focus on transforming understanding and fostering societal progress. 
    In an enlightening and deeply moving conversation with Rev. Brig Feltus, founder of the Remember Institute, we embark on an exploration of the nuanced and multifaceted nature of race, power, oppression, and community healing. Through Brig's wealth of knowledge and compassionate perspective, we delved into the historical roots of oppression, the psychological underpinnings of privilege and bias, and the transformative power of community and awareness.

    It's Time for a Change - New Name, Same Heart

    It's Time for a Change - New Name, Same Heart

    I have a BIG announcement. This show, formerly known as Who The F*ck? is now Can I Just Say?. This evolution is a reflection of my growth as both a person and a podcaster. While I loved the edginess of the old name, I worried it might turn off potential listeners who knew nothing about the show’s actual content.

Absolute TOPS!!

Spending five minutes in a pre-call I knew I liked Nikki. Spending an hour in conversation I now have a friend for life! This was probably one of the best interviews I’ve ever done, and that’s out of over 300+ interviews.
