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":"Jennette McCurdy on Power Dynamics in Half His Age, the Psychology of Style, and Financial Security","slug":"jennette-mccurdy-on-power-dynamics-in-half-his-age-the-psychology-of-style-and-financial-security","published_at":"2026-02-05T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/nice-talk-with-nikki-ogunnaike-6918201/jennette-mccurdy-on-power-dynamics-in-half-his-age-the-psychology-of-style-and-financial-security","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/nice-talk-with-nikki-ogunnaike-6918201","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/FUFET8721096546.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/FUFET8721096546.mp3","summary":"Jennette McCurdy is the best-selling author of the memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died and her recent debut novel, Half His Age.

On this episode, she discusses the messy and uncomfortable power dynamics at play in her new novel, the deeper meaning behind some of her style choices, and why she didn’t feel financially secure until the success of her memoir.
