In this week's Episode 39 of We Are Out of Office, your co-hosts Television Exec Producer ( Night Agent ) Nikki T and Bestselling Author Jayne Allen keep the group chat virtual and delusional as usual, catching you up, bringing food for thought and food for your soul. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation filled with laughter and insights. The ladies are back with their regular segments, focusing this week's episode on a call to keep your light shining even in the midst of darkness. Join Nikki T and Jayne as they explore themes of self-empowerment, the importance of self-sufficiency for women, and the impact of societal expectations on personal happiness. They celebrate Tracy Ellis Ross for her single life and Melissa Butler for her success with The Lip Bar. The conversation also delves into the toxicity of reality TV relationships, the significance of vulnerability in love, and the challenges of comparison in the entertainment industry. They highlight the entrepreneurial spirit of women like Pinky Cole and discuss the importance of defining personal success on one's own terms. Overall, the episode is a heartfelt reminder of the power of owning your own unique journey. In this episode, like always, the ladies catch each other up on their life discoveries, what their "algorithm" has shown them, and their thoughts on the cultural happenings that we've all seen and desperately need to unpack.
