#43 Work In Progress

Once upon a time… Nikki dreamt of becoming a mom. Two kids and a gazillion parental melt downs later… she realized parenting wasn’t anything like the fairy tale she had imagined. Tune in as she shares the un-fantasy version of parenthood.

Skateboarding naked for her 50th birthday ended up being the most empowering moment of Nikki’s life. Not only was it liberating, but also skating became her gateway to redemption. Join the adventure as she skateboards her way through redeeming her childhood & more importantly…herself.

Life, death and a last dance in Las Vegas is not what Nikki imagined her first episode (in six months) to be about. However, nothing like seeing a best buddy for the last time & experiencing Sin City through the eyes of two special needs kids to get the conversation of contrast going.

Almost everyone can agree that cheating is bad…even Sandler. Tune in this week to hear how Nikki learned the hard way that it’s always best to stay clear of cheating & cheaters.

Enjoy the inevitable process of aging and adulting with Nikki. Just when she thinks she’s got her retirement ‘vision’ all figured out… her kids quickly remind her otherwise!

Nikki & her kids didn't fare too well in the dad department so in lieu of Father's Day they'll be celebrating National Nik Day...complete with blessings & a beard. Laugh along with the hilarious and honest stories about navigating life with & without their fathers.

Hop on the campaign trail with Nikki as she tries to navigate her unexpected competitive side & help Sandler win the opportunity of a lifetime: a skate session with Tony Hawk! Be sure to cast your votes and support a good cause. @sandlerschase #skateparkhero

One has to wonder how two people born & raised in the same exact family can be so different! It's hard to believe that Nikki, the skateboarding, single mom with two special needs kids, shares [any] DNA with her brother, a tennis pro who did time in an all-inclusive gated community on a Caribbean island.

Hop on YouTube, Instagram &/or Facebook to watch those old videos along with Nikki as she reflects on life's progression. 20 years into this thing called "parenting" and nothing like social media memories provides a more epic tale of the visual progression session!

The nicest thing most can say about Nikki’s mom was that she was a colorful character of the universe. Enjoy, gasp & laugh at the true tales, trials and tribulations of their unconventional mother / daughter relationship. (*Please be advised that this episode contains adult content including: alcohol abuse, language, escaped gorillas, demise and death). All new intro with this year’s Special ED-ition host… Sandler.
