Each week, Nikki will sit down with fascinating women—entertainers, entrepreneurs, creators, athletes, and changemakers—to discuss money, power, and style. “Well-behaved” women have long been discouraged from speaking on these topics—style should be effortless, and conversations about money or power aren’t “proper,” “ladylike,” or “nice.” But Nikki’s definition of a Nice Talk is one where all parties walk away feeling empowered. Nikki’s guests are getting candid about how they navigated their come-ups, what makes them feel both powerful and powerless, and of course, how they use personal style to communicate with the world.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-02T18:19:31.800158+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/nice-talk-with-nikki-ogunnaike-6918201"},"episode":{"title":"Author Tia Williams on Why Writing Personal Fan Fiction Is Her Favorite Writing Hack","slug":"author-tia-williams-on-why-writing-personal-fan-fiction-is-her-favorite-writing-hack","published_at":"2026-06-18T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/nice-talk-with-nikki-ogunnaike-6918201/author-tia-williams-on-why-writing-personal-fan-fiction-is-her-favorite-writing-hack","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/nice-talk-with-nikki-ogunnaike-6918201","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/FUFET5734253068.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/FUFET5734253068.mp3","summary":"Tia Williams is the best-selling author of books such as Seven Days in June and The Perfect Find, and her most recent novel, The Missed Connection, just came out on June 9.
