Opinions are easy, understanding takes work. What if everything you think you know about “those people”… is wrong? Welcome to Tell Me More with Nicole Walters - the unfiltered, judgment-free zone where curiosity leads and honest conversations follow. In a world shaped by echo chambers and algorithms, it’s easy to form opinions about people we’ve never actually met. The sugar baby. The trans woman. The undocumented immigrant. The reality TV star. We’ve heard about them but have we ever heard from them? That’s what this show is all about. Born out of Nicole’s 2020 Tough Talk Series, Tell Me More is a space where we refuse to make the world smaller and scarier. There’s no room for hate, racism, or bigotry here—but there’s plenty of room for bold, uncomfortable, and deeply human conversations. Each week, Nicole sits down with the people you’re most curious about and asks the questions you’ve been too afraid (or too filtered) to ask. It’s raw. It’s candid. It’s not about changing your mind - it’s about giving you the real story so you can make up your own. You’ll also hear updates on Nicole’s life, business, and family but at its core, this show is a place to listen well, grow together, and build confidence in your own character. So if you’re ready to break out of your bubble, challenge your assumptions, and hear directly from the source… This is the podcast you’ve been waiting for. Tell Me More with Nicole Walters—available wherever you get your podcasts.

    About... How to ACTUALLY Help Immigrants (Part 2)

    "Policy is outpacing compassion and enforcement is starting to replace discernment." Immigration isn’t just a political issue, it's a moral one. Last week we sat in the moment of what is happening with immigration enforcement in our nation. In this chat, we're taking it a step further by answering the question of, "What can we do about it?" We're not talking about policy or even politics but we can each do to restore humanity and take action without burning out. We're chatting about: How fear-based messaging is shaping immigration debatesWhy dehumanizing language is dangerous for our kids and our cultureWhat every American should understand about due process rightsHow local communities can create change when national politics feel impossibleHow we as parents can teach empathy, courage, and civic responsibility right now If you’ve felt powerless watching the news… If you’ve wondered how to help without becoming exhausted or overwhelmed… If you want to raise kids who care about justice and humanity… This episode will give you clarity, hope, and practical next steps. Because change doesn’t come from outrage alone... it comes from people who choose compassion and act consistently.   Come chat with me over on Threads where you always get spicy Nicole at https://threads.net/nicolewalters and WATCH the show on YT at http://nicolewalters.com/youtube Produced by Dear Media See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  2. About… Power, Punishment & The Cost of Cruelty

    JAN 29

    About… Power, Punishment & The Cost of Cruelty

    " The lie is that cruelty equals strength... that harshness is required to be effective... and that suffering is an effective deterrent to immigrants." In this chat We are addressing the killing of Alex Pretti, the unrest unfolding in Minnesota, and what this moment reveals about fear, power, and humanity in America today. This chat isn't about outrage for outrage's sake. It's about the moral cost of violence, the normalization of cruelty, and the responsibility we share when grief is replaced by narratives and slogans. Friend, now is the time to chat candidly about immigration enforcement, due process, protest, and the danger of turning human lives into symbols instead of honoring their dignity. I'm asking us to slow down, sit with the weight of what’s happening, and examine how empathy, justice, and moral responsibility must remain central to who we are, even in times of fear and division.   We’re chatting about: The death of Alex Pretti and why grief must come before politicsWhat the Minnesota protests reveal about fear, power, and unrestImmigration enforcement versus human dignity and due processHow cruelty and intimidation are being normalized in AmericaWhy empathy and moral responsibility still matter in hard times  This is not light listening. It’s an honest chat about loss, accountability, and the kind of country we are becoming. Thank you for being here.   Come chat with me over on Threads where you always get spicy Nicole at https://threads.net/nicolewalters and WATCH the show on YT at http://nicolewalters.com/youtube  Produced by Dear Media See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    About Being... Latino in America (with Eric Delgado)

    “We are so much more than our stereotypes... and our identity is not defined by those stereotypes.” Latino actor and filmmaker Eric Delgado is here to share his lived experience with identity, belonging, and what it means to live between cultures. From Hollywood typecasting to being told he’s “not Latino enough” or “too American,” Eric shares his experiences that inspired his acclaimed web series Gringo Latino — a comedy that uses humor to challenge stereotypes, expose bias, and spark deeper reflection. This chat explores the quiet moments that make you question where you fit, the exhaustion of having to prove your identity, and why laughter can be both a survival tool and a form of resistance. We’re chatting about: What it actually feels like to be told you’re “not Latino enough”Growing up between cultures and never fully belonging to either oneThe microaggressions of being asked to prove your culture, language, or legitimacyHow humor can challenge stereotypes and create real changeReclaiming identity on your own terms, not the world’s expectations If you’ve ever felt othered, caught between worlds, or questioned your place within your own community, this conversation will resonate deeply.

    About… Living with your Parents, again... (with Kris Walters)

    " I was knocking things off my to-do list and then I was like, wait, no this is like a really big deal... I need to make an entire list." What happens when your relationship ends, your money runs out, and the only place left to go is back home? It’s been six months since we last chatted with MidTiny, my daughter Kris, and she’s back with some big updates. The last time she was here, things in her life had fallen apart and she has spent the last 6 months rebuilding (and adulting) while living at home.  We're chatting about: Moving back home after a long-term breakup and what it’s really like to reset your life as a Gen Z adultNavigating burn out, depression, and emotional exhaustion after pushing through school, work, and a failing relationshipLearning how to “adult” for real, including health insurance, medical care, credit cards, and financial independenceWhy so many young adults feel behind even when they’re doing everything rightHow small wins like getting medical care, building credit, and saving money actually matter  If you’ve ever felt behind, stuck, or embarrassed about starting over in your 20s… this chat will feel comfortably familiar. This chat is for Gen Z, for parents of Gen Z, and for anyone who has ever had to hit reset on their life and rebuild from scratch.

  5. About Being... an Accidental Breadwinner

    About Being... an Accidental Breadwinner

    " If you can't ask for help from your partner and expect it, then who can you ask for help from?" This is a conversation I've been having with my friends, that frankly isn't talked about enough. If you're the breadwinner, especially an accidental breadwinner, this chat is for you... In this chat I'm breaking down why so many of us are working harder and longer only to make the same amount of income we were a few years back. We're covering what to do if you're that accidental breadwinner that is TIRED and wondering if you can keep up with inflation (hello grocery costs!) Friend, it starts at home and it might be time to recalibrate to set yourself up for a better year, a better marriage, and a better life long-term. We're chatting about: How many women become the breadwinner by accident through side hustles, entrepreneurship, or career growth and that impact it has on mental loadThe burnout and resentment that builds when household roles aren't recalibrated alongside financial responsibilityThe hidden cost accidental breadwinners pay with their health, energy, and relationshipsHow to start having honest conversations about support and expectations before burnout hits I've learned these lessons the hard and expensive way and I'm here to tell you more so you can plan for a better future. Stay tuned for new rooms and opportunities to do this planning, together.

  6. About… Letting Friends Go (Part 2)

    12/30/2025

    About… Letting Friends Go (Part 2)

    We talked about the quiet heartbreak of friendship fallouts in our last chat and in this Part 2, we're going deeper. This chat is about the truth most of us don’t want to admit: not everyone has the capacity to support you through every transition of your life. And that doesn’t automatically make them bad people, or you unlovable. I’m breaking down what it really means when friendships expire, how to stop turning every ending into a villain story, and why some relationships were never built for depth in the first place. We talk about seasonal friends, alignment, and the hard but freeing realization that letting go doesn’t always need a dramatic ending. We're chatting about: Why some friends simply don’t have the emotional capacity to hold your growthHow to release friendships without blame, drama, or guiltThe difference between people who benefit from your brokenness and those who celebrate your becomingHow to protect yourself in vulnerable seasons (especially post-divorce)The two alignment questions I now use to decide who gets access to my life This is also about learning to trust yourself again. Life transitions can sharpen your intuition, your gut, and your ability to choose people who see your power now, not who you used to be. If Part 1 helped you feel less alone, Part 2 will help you feel clearer, stronger, and more at peace with who, and what, you’re leaving behind to make space for what’s next.

    About… Letting Friends Go (Part 1)

    No one really prepares you for this part: when your life changes, not everyone gets to come with you. In this 2-part chat we're covering one of your most requested topics: friendship fallouts. And I’m not talking about dramatic blow ups or petty drama. I’m talking about the quiet grief. The slow drifting. The realization that some friendships were tied to a version of you that no longer exists.   Divorce didn’t just change my relationship status, it shifted my entire ecosystem. My family dynamics, my work, my sense of self… and yes, my friendships. Some people couldn’t meet me in this new season. Some revealed things about themselves I didn’t expect. And some simply didn’t have the capacity to support the transition I was moving through. I’m sharing the hard-earned truths I’ve learned along the way, including: Why certain friendships only work when you stay small, familiar, or unchangedWhat people’s reactions reveal when your life shifts in a big wayWhy losing friends during major transitions isn’t failure, it’s growthHow to tell the difference between seasonal friends and aligned ones If you’re navigating divorce, a breakup, a major life pivot, or even just becoming a new version of yourself, this chat is for you.   And don’t miss Part 2, where I go deeper into what I had to release - and what I had to protect - to build my life back better.

  8. About Being... a Co-Parent

    12/16/2025

    About Being... a Co-Parent

    "You can love God, you can go to therapy, you can have a new husband and you can still get a petty text from your ex that will send you, okay?" I used to think co-parenting was for people who failed at marriage... that it was the byproduct of divorce. I now realize that real co-parenting is for people who refuse to fail their kids because you divorce your partner but you don't divorce your children. What does our co-parenting situation look like though? Let me just say it's not what I thought it would look like. Hit play for the real stuff - the court documents, the group chats, the new partners, and how to build a good life even when co-parenting is f*ckd up.
