Thank you, Niki, for sharing your story with us. Your courage and openness are truly inspiring. I appreciate you taking the time to connect with us and share your experiences regarding your new approach to fashion and personal style.
I'm 52. I've been loving and wearing luxury for 30 years now. I feel different and special when I'm carrying a luxury handbag or wearing designer shoes. I didn't grow up with money. My parents divorced when I was 4 and I was a latchkey kid. I saw college as a means to an end. Get through school so I could get a good paying job so I could afford the things I couldn't have when I was younger. Luxury is attainable now for me. And it's interesting watching 30-somethings go through this growth spurt or trend. I know things are cyclical and luxury will resurge again. So while they dump their luxe goods and take a loss, I'm over here waiting for their bargain bags that will once again rise in price a few years down the road.
Niki seems like a nice and well intentioned person. I am all for pushing against consumerism. She should keep or sell whatever stuff she wants. My issue with her original message, and the message she is proposing here, are the many assumptions she is making about her viewers. There were in the past video (and in this video) a lot of “we” and “our” instead of just sharing her own personal experience and leaving it at that. I don’t go to TH-cam for spiritual guidance or tutoring. I have done and continue to do a lot of personal/spiritual work, AND I love watching fun videos about shopping and buying things within the budget I have. For me, I just don’t need personal/spiritual advice from a TH-cam fashion influencer and the presumption that she has “figured it out” now, and no one else has is just problematic and cringy to me. But it’s the messaging I find off putting, not her intentions. Great job, Caleb.
Hi Maya! Thank you for watching! I can't speak for Niki, but I think she's excited to share her message and she wants people to know that there is a different perspective possible when it comes to interacting with fashion and designer labels. Thank you for your feedback, Maya! I hope you're having a great week!
Well, said. I am not a subscriber of Nikki and did not know her from Atom. My first encounter with her as a TH-camr was the video were speaking on in this interview. The only reason I even went to her channel is because of the response videos TH-camrs I followed were sharing. As I was watching that video, I kept becoming more and more defensive. I felt I was being preached too by stranger because a book she recently read led her to a life altering perspective on her finances. Confession time: some people watch restocking TikTok’s to for some mindless destressing content… fashion, and beauty TH-camrs are what I subscribe to for mindless content. 🤷🏻♀
As a 65 year old recently retired woman, I can tell you from my 20’s to now I’ve lived in studio apartments to 6 bedroom homes. I’ve married,had kids, divorced, moved across country twice. I’ve owned and sold businesses. I’ve bought and filled, then downsized entire homes many times! It’s LIFE. Wait until you or someone you love has a health scare. Nothing you own will matter AT ALL. Everyone should let this young lady live her life. To heck with the luxury aspect. None of this matters! Nice job Caleb, you did a great job and kept it genuine.
I'm about 10 years behind you, but I agree 100%. Especially about the health scare (you are right -- NOTHING matters then!). I am a completely different person now than I was in my 30's. And I don't care what anyone else says, looking back, buying these logo designer items is all about impressing others, and/or making yourself feel better and accomplished. Nothing wrong with wanting to buy things that make you feel good, but at some point most people will outgrow it. I have more wealth now that I ever have, and could afford just about anything I want, but ironically, I am now clearing out my own closet of the bags and clothes I just never use and simplifying my life to only things that are useful, comfortable, and pieces I love. Niki now has 2 small children and her life is completely changed, and clearly, so has she. I'm a bit embarrassed for those who feel the need to make videos "calling her out." It's petty and childish.
Her reasoning from 26:35 to until about 29:00 is spot-on. For the reasons she's mentioned, I don't see myself paying outrageous prices for basically the brand name. I personally love the brand Coach because I feel that I'm getting great quality & beautiful designs at affordable prices.
I can’t describe the feeling I have for this video. So much effort went into it from all of us. To have it live is so amazing! I’m beyond grateful for this collaboration with Niki, but more importantly, I’m so glad she was able to discuss in a safe space with you about her new journey with luxury.
I had to stop halfway through the video to comment. Firstly, Caleb, you were so gracious and kind to Niki and gave her the time to speak without interruption. That is truly rare in this day and age, so thank you. Secondly, the judgement and criticism that Niki has received over her decision absolutely boggles my mind. I'm 58 years old, and I applaud anyone, regardless of age, for growing and changing. No one has the right to judge her-no one! It saddens me that she feels she has to explain why she lives in a large home and drives a Tesla-that is her business and hers alone. There is not one person on this planet that she needs to explain her decisions to. If she and her husband and family are all in accord, that's all that matters.
Thank you so much, Lynda! I completely agree with your comment, and I applaud anyone who grows through life and changes. And I think she's especially brave for sharing her story the way she has. Thank you for your kind feedback, I truly appreciate it!
Well, my understanding is that Niki Sky came off as having strong opinions on people who do have an interest in fashwn and their motivation for such....so naturally people who felt hurt by her judgement about who they were supposed to be asked questions back and wanted to distance themselves from what Niki Sky projected them to be about.
I never understood why people were so upset about her going through this transition. She has had some major life changes recently that will inevitably change her out look on life. Going from a husband and wife to a mother and father is probably one of the biggest changes someone could ever go through. Of course her life has changed, how could it not? My heart goes out to Niki, I hope she will get the support she deserves. I think it’s important to remember that this is HER life. If we agree with it or want to fallow along, GREAT. If not, unsubscribe and go on with YOUR life. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO DRAG SOMEONE THROUGH THE DIRT BECAUSE THEY ARE AT A DIFFERENT PLACE IN LIFE THAN YOU ARE.
Perfectly put, Melissa! It's true, we all experience different seasons of life at different times, and no two journeys will ever look the same. I applaud her for sharing her new outlook and take on fashion, and I'm looking forward to seeing how she implements what she's learned in the content she creates!
I'm incredibly proud of you, Caleb, for choosing to interview Niki and for giving her the opportunity to further share her perspective. In a time when many people refuse to offer grace or listen to differing viewpoints, your decision to engage in this conversation is commendable. It's clear that you put a lot of thought and care into this interview. Additionally, a huge thank you to Zane for the time and effort spent editing the video… your contributions are also vital in bringing these conversations to the forefront. Bravo!! 👏
Thank you so much, Steph! Speaking with Niki and helping to share her story was very important, and I'm so proud of how our video together turned out. And of course we couldn't do it without Zane, he worked so hard on this video, and it really shows. Thank you so much, Steph!
Thank you so much, Hope! I think her initial video received a lot of unfair reactions, so I'm excited to see her share the story behind the intentions in her new journey. Thank you for watching! 💕
Fantastic interview, Caleb! I'm so glad you're the one she chose to speak with. You asked great questions and were respectful as always. I can't say I'm surprised by Niki's responses. I've never watched her videos other than this one that blew up but based on that small bit of information about her life it doesn't surprise me that she had difficulties in her childhood and that "me"search through psychology helped her figure things out. That mirrors my own journey in many ways. I'm very curious to hear more about this new project she's been working on. It's also too bad that the way Hermes structures their quota bag sales results in people buying such expensive things that they don't really want. Great job, Caleb (and Zane)!
Thank you, Autumn, I really appreciate it! I could also relate toward having childhood trauma, and I applaud her for recognizing and putting in the work to help her on the path toward healing. I'm also excited to see what the new project is, I'm very excited for her! And seriously, the Hermes quota structure takes all the fun out of it.
Get this man a show! Caleb you did an amazing job. The questions were great and I am happy to hear Niki's side because I did have a lot of question after seeing her video.Wishing Niki all the best.
You're an excellent interviewer and this was a wonderful video. There's a line from a song I like, "life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same." Everyone should accept that. Good on her!
Thank you so much!! Niki was so nice to work with, that definitely helped! And that's a great lyric, and it really rings true! I'm really happy for her!
This was such a great and thoughtful interview! I was truly appalled at some of the responses to her change. I’m not used to our community reacting in that way and it made me sick 🤢
Thank you so much! And I agree, there were a lot of negative responses, which didn't make sense. Hopefully we can all learn from this and move forward with a little more grace!
Good on Niki for allowing herself to grow in a direction that is right for her!! Truly hoping the best for her and her family❤Also Caleb and Zane nice job on the interview👏👏👏
Exceptional interview. I watched this right after the last night's live and took a day to digest it. You really do promote a safe space on this platform for people to express themselves freely and allow multiple perspectives to be considered. I don't follow Niki but I can easily see how priorities shift with certain life events. And we're all on some sort of journey in a way, so I think a little grace is appreciated especially when trying to better oneself. Thanks to you and Zane (and Niki) on creating such an impactful moment - so proud of you guys and the community you've built. Looking forward to more! 😊
Thank you, ChiGuy, your kind comments means a lot! I fully agree, we all deserve some grace while we work through things and improve ourselves. There will be bumps along the way, but no journey is perfect. Thank you so much, ChiGuy!!
Omg. That was an amazing interview. Kudos to Niki for opening herself up to the masses and for you Caleb for asking the hard questions in such a non confrontational manner.
Niki, thank you so much for sharing more about your journey and clearing up things that were taken in a way other than how you meant it. With regards to reaching out to Caleb for this Q&A you honestly could not have picked a better person. You nailed it when you said you could feel Caleb's positive energy through conversations you've had with him and that's so true. Caleb and Zane are total gems
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! She was a pleasure to work with, so kind and her answers were very thoughtful. It's been wonderful getting to know her. And I would have loved to go longer!
Caleb- you did a fantastic job. Thank you for not judging Niki and giving her a chance. That is rare. Niki- I have been following you since before you were pregnant. I found your fashion try on videos amazing . So much about you I loved. To be honest I unsubscribed after you made your getting rid of everything video…. I now have subscribed back ❤️. I am so happy you were able to make this video with Caleb. I apologize for not giving you a chance before. Wishing you nothing but joy on your new journey in becoming exactly who you want to be!
Thank you so much! And I'm glad you've resubscribed to Niki, I think this next chapter in her life is going to be a great one! I hope you're having a great weekend, and thank you for watching!
I was never a subscriber of Niki so I don’t need to make a decision, but I like your comment and I’m glad you found peace about her through this interview❤
I think a star interviewer is born!😊 You did so well Caleb. You asked the questions in everyone's minds without judgment and without offending your guest. You gave her enough space and time to explain herself and enough chance for the audience to make our own personal conclusions. I wish Nikki the best. I believe in her pure intentions of living a "meaningful and intentional life". Im gearing towards that myself. And to all luxury vloggers out there, its okay to stay where you are. The world needs diversity. Don't hate on anyone that decides to go a different route in pursuit of personal growth real life wealth.
Maybe others who reacted negatively to what Niki Sky did is because her reasons may have given them an impact personally and thats something they just can't admit. I personally sold my entire lux bag collections but I admit I left 2 pcs now just to remind of some important life events. There are moments that I would want to get another one but I refused and just play Niki's videos again and I feel better.
We all change and that’s just life in general. These are just things. Good on you Nikki if you felt this is not you anymore. Self awareness is a good thing. ❤ Caleb you did an amazing job.
How does this only have 5.6k views? I thought it was a very thoughtful interview! Thank you Caleb! I think that Niki is just going through another phase of life and it's totally acceptable if she feels like she doesn't need the things she needed in the previous phase
Sounds like this is all a lead up to a new brand deal announcement. Perhaps it’s related to the high quality handbag that was casually mentioned but not disclosed.
Wonderful video. Niki is exploring the next chapter of her life. She came across sincere. She has new priorities now and a whole new adventure raising 2 kids and I wish her well. I honestly believe her video did not quite convey what she was wanting to say. That's probably why it stirred up so much reaction. You helped clear that up. Well done, both of you. 😊❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Dee!! I truly appreciate your support! And I'm so excited to see where Niki's adventures take her next. You're right, we all have different chapters of life, and what we value most in chapter 4 could be meaningless by chapter 7.
Thank you for this video, One thing that we talked about in the live :love the new lighting on your side **I appreciate her coming and trying to explain, but I still believe that if you’re truly want it just let it go with social media, and that’s it. the keep talking about making videos/views it is the same instead of telling me what I need to buy your telling me what I need to do so… I don’t like it But then again no everyone needs to understand it 🌸🌼🌺
Thank you Caleb and Niki for making this video, nice editting Zane :). This is Niki's own journey and life, so of course it is going to change , ebb and flow and evolve. Alot of what she says I do understand and do agree with. She does come across as being very self aware. I am sorry that the selling of the Birkin was a loss, but think of it this way, she got to use it, and some of it contributed to her life and in a way I like to think that it is positive in that way. And rather she got some money back than not and was able to move on. TBH having kids does change one's perspectives massively, they become the focus and she just wants mental space to deal with it. . And lot's of people now with adult children or empty nesters can now indulge themselves when they couldn't before - but no one judges them for that? right?. Anyway, good job on both of you for dealing with this issue and clearing the air. Well done on the interview Caleb, it was very thoughtful and documentary like, just the facts and leave the emotions out of it.
Thank you so much, Grace! I fully agree with your comment regarding the different seasons of life, it makes perfect sense. And thank you for your other kind words, I truly appreciate it!
Nice job, Caleb. I hope this is a safe forum for broad views and reactions. I think she needs to lighten up a bit and not take herself so seriously. None of this is groundbreaking or extremely important. This was almost a parody to me. Not because of you, Caleb. We love you. But this was a long long humble brag of an interview. The fact that she can’t see how this makes her look lets me know she’s not as self aware as she thinks. “I wish my house was smaller”. Wait. What?? I’m horrified for her. Thanks, Caleb for giving her a forum but this was a backfire for her though. Not being a hater just want to share an honest bit of feedback. Caleb and Zane, nice job on the video.
Hi JK! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate the feedback and understand where you're coming from. However, I wanted to offer a different perspective on Niki's interview. It's important to remember that everyone has their own way of expressing themselves and their experiences. Niki's comments might come off a certain way to some, but they also reflect her personal journey and growth. While it might seem like a humble brag, it's also possible she's trying to share her lessons and challenges authentically. We all interpret things differently, and that's okay. Your feedback is valuable, and I'm sure it will be taken into account in future content. Thanks again for contributing to the conversation!
I had watched all of the reactions to Niki’s video when it came out and I thought yours was done with class and was a fair assessment. The others seemed so nasty I’m glad you did this. Well done !
Hi 👋 Caleb and Zane finally was able to be in a better head space to finish video. First the video production and the interview part on y’all’s end is fantastic . I’m very proud of both of y’alls hard work and being a safe space for Nicki to come to and try and explain her recent revelations that’s a testimony to your sincerity Caleb. Great job and great teamwork TFS 🛍️👛🚢🦆🙏
@@CalebSnelltrue, and I admire your politeness, I wish I had it. I would’ve done some push back on some of the things she said regarding her being a private person, house, and vehicle, and closet, but it was your interview. I love your content and hope you don’t’ fall into that trap, young man. Your genuine love and appreciation for the items you showcase come through in a very authentic way which is why i subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work, and good luck to her.
Great video, Caleb. I appreciate the fact that you legitimately interviewed her without attacking her and with no judgement. I’m now curious to know the niche handbag brand she’s eyeing. I’m sure time will tell.
Thank you, Nikia! She's absolutely right, we go through different seasons of life and what we value as important can change. I'm also curious to learn more about the niche brands she'll find- I'm sure they'll be good!
Thank you so much, Nancy! Zane worked so hard on this edit, and I'm so proud of the final product. And speaking with Niki I was able to learn a lot from her about herself and her new journey.
And this is how it is done! First of all I rarely comment on Social Media because I find this often shown hostility awful. This is why applaud Caleb for talking to Nikki instead of talking about her. This lacks so much nowadays... And I applaud Nikki for talking to Caleb, she surely did not need to. When I saw all these reaction videos I was quite surprised that influencers felt "the need" to tell us consumers that luxury shopping was still ok. We are grown people, we know that. I felt much more that influencers were defending themselves for still making that content. No need for that, either... Nikki and all the other influencers can choose to create the content they want - as long as they do not hurt other people. And we the consumers can choose if we want to watch it or not. Thanks Caleb and Nikki!
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your comment! And I fully agree- all content is valid as long as it's not designed to hurt other people. Thank you!
Great job on the interview and all of your prep and organization Caleb👌✌️! I don’t know this young woman but it sounds like she has started a new chapter of her life and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. We all evolve and grow in our own time and it’s a beautiful thing to behold. I wish her all the best on her future endeavors. ☮️💟
What a very well done interview!! I had not followed Nikki before, but only gotten wind of her life change decision as it rocked the Luxury world. After watching this, I am very interested in following her. What a genuine soul! Thank you for this amazing interview!
I never subscribe to Nikki. I don’t understand the big deal. If she doesn’t want luxury items anymore that’s her choice. I love my luxury items so I am keeping. I wish her well on her new journey ❤
I wanted to say thank you to Niki, i was looking for changing my wardrobe and browsing for ideas, and came across her profile. Her statement stopped me from following trend, as myself i don’t really like most of luxury bags, but i did felt like i had to have some of them. This made me to stop and rethink.
Great video Caleb. I felt for Niki the whole time people were bashing her decisions. I felt her decisions were honest. I never understood why people cared why she did it in the first place. Tfs 🥰
Thank you so much, Brock! Niki was absolutely fabulous to work with, and she couldn't have been more kind or generous in our interactions. And Zane- he just continues to surprise me with his edits.
It’s so nice Caleb to see someone address Ms. Sky and do a combined video so we can actually hear the breakdown of what she meant because I feel that it is important especially if you are an influencer of whatever your channel may be about. It actually was a dramatic change of perspective for her subs and I feel that when the person that fulfilled any kind of joy for you in anyway with even buying one or two luxury items which I’m sure was the case, feelings can get hurt with her change of heart. I understand sharing your truth with your subscribers but it doesn’t change the fact that it may still make someone feel bad in my opinion, in the same token many people may not feel bad at all especially if they did not break their bank but even if they did stretch their finances a bit to get that bag they wanted they still did what made them happy. Every case is different. Change can be a great thing like it has been for her and her new place in her life and that’s good. ❤ty again Caleb and Niki❤
Hi Esmerelda! You made some really good points in this comment, I truly appreciate it! Like you said, I could certainly understand how feeling got hurt along the way, but I'm also excited to see where her next journey takes her!
18 year old here. I cannot afford luxury brands or items and i feel pretty sad knowing that by the time I would be able to afford those items, i might not feel the need to buy them. For me a cartier ring or a chanel brooch is very beautiful. Any women who had regrets buying those items should know that they once gave you joy, so now they have fulfilled their purpose.
I really didn't understand why everyone was picking her video apart. It's sad she felt she had to explain and that she was hurt by those videos. Thanks for this.
@@CalebSnell oh it’s not the length at all, it’s some of her responses so I have to take it in snippets. I think she’s very young so I just need to be in the correct frame of mind. You are doing great.
Niki just revealed how insecure the Lux community is! I cannot get over how someone who talked about HER feelings for HER life and change of direction, was taken ‘personally’ by others. It was quite incredible and saddening to watch. It just highlights the toxicity of social media. Niki obviously had to put out a video to explain to her subscribers to give them the heads up on her new direction. The internet ran with that and in true narcissistic fashion, ran with it and made it about them. That guy that said ‘Shut up’ with the sour face just was RUDE.
I completely agree. I think that her initial video stirred up some latent negative feelings in their subconscious. Some of the reactions were downright rude for sure.
I think people are just upset about the times she generalizes everyone who buys luxury items into one category of being hoodwinked. She can do what she wants but that’s the part people didn’t think was fair, from what I’ve deduced from watching reaction videos.
Hi Caleb! I don't understand why people are making a BIG DEAL about her selling her handbags. We all make our own choices and just because she wants to sell her collection, for whatever reason, it doesn't mean THEY HAVE TO. LOL. It's just ridiculous. People are just looking for ways to critique, and show criticism towards her decision on what she sells or doesn’t sell. It's HER decision. People are just mean. Anyway...just wanted to comment❤
Thank you so much, Debbie! I agree, it's her journey, her choice and she should have the freedom to do whatever she likes in that regard. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Well, my understanding is that Niki Sky came off as having strong opinions on people who do have an interest in fashion and their motivation for such....so naturally people who felt hurt by her judgement about who they were supposed to be asked questions back and wanted to distance themselves from what Niki Sky projected them to be about.
Some of Niki’s thoughts were incomplete and contradictory. Pushing out content, only to say “I don’t have to explain myself” - ummm….okay, so keep it to yourself. Part of the challenge is that social media enhances the spotlight quickly; and to point out, most ✌🏽influencers✌🏽 are not equipped to handle publicity like that. She’s absolutely trying to create an uproar on the heels of announcing what she’s working on. She should’ve just slowly integrated her pieces out, privately, if she doesn’t feel she has to explain herself- it’s like, but you did! So, because you brought it up- you’ll have to sort the confusion. I don’t think Niki is as evolved as she thinks. Somehow you’re so above it?! You already spent the money! “I’ll make sure it’s something that aligns with my new identity” BYYYYYEE!!! “Tesla is the most safe car in the world right now” - yeah, until it crashes. She still has an elitist approach to design, style and function. Talking about her big house, “this is what we had to do” 🙄🙄🙄 Good interview, Caleb. You asked all the right questions. Never heard of her, until you interviewed her. Also, a Birkin 35 is a great Mom bag. You can put so much in that bag! So I don’t know what she’s talking about. She’s still figuring it out, so her positioning herself like an expert- girl, stop.
The older I become the more I like vintage quality leather bags or new clear bags over logo bags that don’t go with everything. I don’t like making all those dressing decisions anymore and enjoy thrifting higher quality clothing items instead of buying cheap fast fashion that doesn’t last and goes out of style.
more power to her but I do not know her but go get help and work though it do come on TH-cam looking for self help go see a support group I sorry as disabled person we get help I do not come on TH-cam to tell disabled people live there lives more power too but get help you need this not for me
Hi Hamid! That's a valid perspective, but I think she just wants the freedom to explore who she is and share her journey with us. I'm excited to see where it takes her!
So if you want to live a simpler lifestyle maybe don’t have a job as a social media lifestyle influencer. And if your taste changes to less flashy handbags, get plainer ones. Not a philosophical quandary. Monetizing your downsizing quest on TH-cam is kind of ridiculous.
Thank you for your input, Pam! I definitely think there's still room for Niki to share her experiences with this journey and in offering styling tips to folks who maybe don't want luxury handbags and clothing.
Her video came off condescending it’s good she got to expand on her position. She makes more sense here… she came off weird in her video but either way… wish her luck.. she didn’t deserve the hate train
She speaks like she's a victim of her own life. Do people really care that much about what she keeps and sells? She is acting like everyone is against her. Why doesn't she just do what she wants to do and not broadcast it all? The way she speaks like she "never wanted a house this big," as if she was forced. If her and her husband built the house together then build the size house you want. Her words are tone deaf.
I had to delete my first comments. I was possibly unkind to her. She does annoy me though! I mean, they are bags, not part of my ‘identity’! Just bags!
Thank you, Niki, for sharing your story with us. Your courage and openness are truly inspiring. I appreciate you taking the time to connect with us and share your experiences regarding your new approach to fashion and personal style.
❤
I'm 52. I've been loving and wearing luxury for 30 years now. I feel different and special when I'm carrying a luxury handbag or wearing designer shoes. I didn't grow up with money. My parents divorced when I was 4 and I was a latchkey kid. I saw college as a means to an end. Get through school so I could get a good paying job so I could afford the things I couldn't have when I was younger. Luxury is attainable now for me. And it's interesting watching 30-somethings go through this growth spurt or trend. I know things are cyclical and luxury will resurge again. So while they dump their luxe goods and take a loss, I'm over here waiting for their bargain bags that will once again rise in price a few years down the road.
Hi there! Those are some really good points! I love finding good deals on the preloved market because you're right, fashion is so cyclical.
Niki seems like a nice and well intentioned person. I am all for pushing against consumerism. She should keep or sell whatever stuff she wants. My issue with her original message, and the message she is proposing here, are the many assumptions she is making about her viewers. There were in the past video (and in this video) a lot of “we” and “our” instead of just sharing her own personal experience and leaving it at that. I don’t go to TH-cam for spiritual guidance or tutoring. I have done and continue to do a lot of personal/spiritual work, AND I love watching fun videos about shopping and buying things within the budget I have. For me, I just don’t need personal/spiritual advice from a TH-cam fashion influencer and the presumption that she has “figured it out” now, and no one else has is just problematic and cringy to me. But it’s the messaging I find off putting, not her intentions. Great job, Caleb.
Hi Maya! Thank you for watching! I can't speak for Niki, but I think she's excited to share her message and she wants people to know that there is a different perspective possible when it comes to interacting with fashion and designer labels. Thank you for your feedback, Maya! I hope you're having a great week!
@@CalebSnell Thanks Caleb, you too! You handled this tricky interview like a pro.
@@MayaKabati agree with you
Agreed.
Well, said. I am not a subscriber of Nikki and did not know her from Atom. My first encounter with her as a TH-camr was the video were speaking on in this interview. The only reason I even went to her channel is because of the response videos TH-camrs I followed were sharing. As I was watching that video, I kept becoming more and more defensive. I felt I was being preached too by stranger because a book she recently read led her to a life altering perspective on her finances. Confession time: some people watch restocking TikTok’s to for some mindless destressing content… fashion, and beauty TH-camrs are what I subscribe to for mindless content. 🤷🏻♀
As a 65 year old recently retired woman, I can tell you from my 20’s to now I’ve lived in studio apartments to 6 bedroom homes. I’ve married,had kids, divorced, moved across country twice. I’ve owned and sold businesses. I’ve bought and filled, then downsized entire homes many times! It’s LIFE. Wait until you or someone you love has a health scare. Nothing you own will matter AT ALL. Everyone should let this young lady live her life. To heck with the luxury aspect. None of this matters! Nice job Caleb, you did a great job and kept it genuine.
Well said
Exactly! I couldn't agree more!
I'm about 10 years behind you, but I agree 100%. Especially about the health scare (you are right -- NOTHING matters then!). I am a completely different person now than I was in my 30's. And I don't care what anyone else says, looking back, buying these logo designer items is all about impressing others, and/or making yourself feel better and accomplished. Nothing wrong with wanting to buy things that make you feel good, but at some point most people will outgrow it. I have more wealth now that I ever have, and could afford just about anything I want, but ironically, I am now clearing out my own closet of the bags and clothes I just never use and simplifying my life to only things that are useful, comfortable, and pieces I love. Niki now has 2 small children and her life is completely changed, and clearly, so has she. I'm a bit embarrassed for those who feel the need to make videos "calling her out." It's petty and childish.
Her reasoning from 26:35 to until about 29:00 is spot-on. For the reasons she's mentioned, I don't see myself paying outrageous prices for basically the brand name. I personally love the brand Coach because I feel that I'm getting great quality & beautiful designs at affordable prices.
I couldn't agree more! And Coach makes some absolutely beautiful pieces- I love my Coach bags!
I can’t describe the feeling I have for this video. So much effort went into it from all of us. To have it live is so amazing! I’m beyond grateful for this collaboration with Niki, but more importantly, I’m so glad she was able to discuss in a safe space with you about her new journey with luxury.
So so happy and amazed by what you both put into this video. I’m loving this ❤
Thank you for all your hard work on this, Zane! I'm so proud of what we all put into this collab.
Zane you a rock star! And the two of you create the safe space that welcomes folks in ❤
@@aprilshouseofflair that is so kind of you!
I had to stop halfway through the video to comment. Firstly, Caleb, you were so gracious and kind to Niki and gave her the time to speak without interruption. That is truly rare in this day and age, so thank you. Secondly, the judgement and criticism that Niki has received over her decision absolutely boggles my mind. I'm 58 years old, and I applaud anyone, regardless of age, for growing and changing. No one has the right to judge her-no one! It saddens me that she feels she has to explain why she lives in a large home and drives a Tesla-that is her business and hers alone. There is not one person on this planet that she needs to explain her decisions to. If she and her husband and family are all in accord, that's all that matters.
Thank you so much, Lynda! I completely agree with your comment, and I applaud anyone who grows through life and changes. And I think she's especially brave for sharing her story the way she has. Thank you for your kind feedback, I truly appreciate it!
Well, my understanding is that Niki Sky came off as having strong opinions on people who do have an interest in fashwn and their motivation for such....so naturally people who felt hurt by her judgement about who they were supposed to be asked questions back and wanted to distance themselves from what Niki Sky projected them to be about.
@@carrino15🎯
I never understood why people were so upset about her going through this transition. She has had some major life changes recently that will inevitably change her out look on life. Going from a husband and wife to a mother and father is probably one of the biggest changes someone could ever go through. Of course her life has changed, how could it not?
My heart goes out to Niki, I hope she will get the support she deserves. I think it’s important to remember that this is HER life. If we agree with it or want to fallow along, GREAT. If not, unsubscribe and go on with YOUR life.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO DRAG SOMEONE THROUGH THE DIRT BECAUSE THEY ARE AT A DIFFERENT PLACE IN LIFE THAN YOU ARE.
Well said Melissa!
Perfectly put, Melissa! It's true, we all experience different seasons of life at different times, and no two journeys will ever look the same. I applaud her for sharing her new outlook and take on fashion, and I'm looking forward to seeing how she implements what she's learned in the content she creates!
@@agentbagreviews thank you Julie 🩵
@@CalebSnell I’m secretly hoping she comes out with a high quality handbag line 🤣. Probably won’t happen but a girl can dream.
Agree Melissa!
I'm incredibly proud of you, Caleb, for choosing to interview Niki and for giving her the opportunity to further share her perspective. In a time when many people refuse to offer grace or listen to differing viewpoints, your decision to engage in this conversation is commendable. It's clear that you put a lot of thought and care into this interview. Additionally, a huge thank you to Zane for the time and effort spent editing the video… your contributions are also vital in bringing these conversations to the forefront. Bravo!! 👏
Thank you so much, Steph! Speaking with Niki and helping to share her story was very important, and I'm so proud of how our video together turned out. And of course we couldn't do it without Zane, he worked so hard on this video, and it really shows. Thank you so much, Steph!
This was very nice of you Caleb. If I wasn't already subscribed I would because of this video. Very compassionate. God Bless
Thank you so much, Hope! I think her initial video received a lot of unfair reactions, so I'm excited to see her share the story behind the intentions in her new journey. Thank you for watching! 💕
Fantastic interview, Caleb! I'm so glad you're the one she chose to speak with. You asked great questions and were respectful as always. I can't say I'm surprised by Niki's responses. I've never watched her videos other than this one that blew up but based on that small bit of information about her life it doesn't surprise me that she had difficulties in her childhood and that "me"search through psychology helped her figure things out. That mirrors my own journey in many ways. I'm very curious to hear more about this new project she's been working on. It's also too bad that the way Hermes structures their quota bag sales results in people buying such expensive things that they don't really want. Great job, Caleb (and Zane)!
Thank you, Autumn, I really appreciate it! I could also relate toward having childhood trauma, and I applaud her for recognizing and putting in the work to help her on the path toward healing. I'm also excited to see what the new project is, I'm very excited for her! And seriously, the Hermes quota structure takes all the fun out of it.
Get this man a show! Caleb you did an amazing job. The questions were great and I am happy to hear Niki's side because I did have a lot of question after seeing her video.Wishing Niki all the best.
Thank you so much, Stephanie!! I would LOVE a show!! haha! Niki is truly a wonderful person, and I'm so excited to see where her journey takes her!
50 seconds in… and I’m going to comment already, thank you Caleb for breaking out of the pack and doing this video!
🙏🏼 that means so much, thank you so much, Steph!
Steph this means the world to us! 😢❤
You're an excellent interviewer and this was a wonderful video. There's a line from a song I like, "life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same." Everyone should accept that. Good on her!
Thank you so much!! Niki was so nice to work with, that definitely helped! And that's a great lyric, and it really rings true! I'm really happy for her!
This was such a great and thoughtful interview! I was truly appalled at some of the responses to her change. I’m not used to our community reacting in that way and it made me sick 🤢
Thank you so much! And I agree, there were a lot of negative responses, which didn't make sense. Hopefully we can all learn from this and move forward with a little more grace!
Good on Niki for allowing herself to grow in a direction that is right for her!! Truly hoping the best for her and her family❤Also Caleb and Zane nice job on the interview👏👏👏
Thank you so much, Mary!
Exceptional interview. I watched this right after the last night's live and took a day to digest it. You really do promote a safe space on this platform for people to express themselves freely and allow multiple perspectives to be considered. I don't follow Niki but I can easily see how priorities shift with certain life events. And we're all on some sort of journey in a way, so I think a little grace is appreciated especially when trying to better oneself. Thanks to you and Zane (and Niki) on creating such an impactful moment - so proud of you guys and the community you've built. Looking forward to more! 😊
Thank you, ChiGuy, your kind comments means a lot! I fully agree, we all deserve some grace while we work through things and improve ourselves. There will be bumps along the way, but no journey is perfect. Thank you so much, ChiGuy!!
Love this interview Caleb! Well done on the edit Zane. I can relate to Niki going through big life changes. I am excited for Niki’s next chapter. 🤎😘
Omg. That was an amazing interview. Kudos to Niki for opening herself up to the masses and for you Caleb for asking the hard questions in such a non confrontational manner.
Thank you so much! We all worked really hard on this project, and I love how it turned out!
I will be making comments along the way.
Niki, you are a private person? You post your daughter, your child, all over your social media.
Where are the rest of your comments?
@@carlosillustrates good question, I was busy running around whilst listening lol
She needs to seek therapy…stay strong ❤
Niki, thank you so much for sharing more about your journey and clearing up things that were taken in a way other than how you meant it. With regards to reaching out to Caleb for this Q&A you honestly could not have picked a better person. You nailed it when you said you could feel Caleb's positive energy through conversations you've had with him and that's so true. Caleb and Zane are total gems
Thank you so much, Digital! That means a lot!
Ms. Sky is a joy to see & so well spoken. Wish this interview was longer but thank you for the presentation.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! She was a pleasure to work with, so kind and her answers were very thoughtful. It's been wonderful getting to know her. And I would have loved to go longer!
Caleb and Zane--you did an absolutely excellent job!!! Great interview!🥰
Thank you so much!!
Such a great and insightful interview. I love that she was able to join your platform and explain her video and idea in a safe space! Great job!
Thank you so much, David!
Caleb- you did a fantastic job. Thank you for not judging Niki and giving her a chance. That is rare.
Niki- I have been following you since before you were pregnant. I found your fashion try on videos amazing . So much about you I loved. To be honest I unsubscribed after you made your getting rid of everything video…. I now have subscribed back ❤️. I am so happy you were able to make this video with Caleb. I apologize for not giving you a chance before. Wishing you nothing but joy on your new journey in becoming exactly who you want to be!
Thank you so much! And I'm glad you've resubscribed to Niki, I think this next chapter in her life is going to be a great one! I hope you're having a great weekend, and thank you for watching!
I was never a subscriber of Niki so I don’t need to make a decision, but I like your comment and I’m glad you found peace about her through this interview❤
I think a star interviewer is born!😊
You did so well Caleb. You asked the questions in everyone's minds without judgment and without offending your guest. You gave her enough space and time to explain herself and enough chance for the audience to make our own personal conclusions. I wish Nikki the best. I believe in her pure intentions of living a "meaningful and intentional life". Im gearing towards that myself. And to all luxury vloggers out there, its okay to stay where you are. The world needs diversity. Don't hate on anyone that decides to go a different route in pursuit of personal growth real life wealth.
Thank you so much! And I fully agree with everything you said in your comment 💯
The house question was something I was wondering. Thank you for asking!
I love Niki and I've been following her for yearsssss
Thank you, Ana! Niki is truly wonderful, and I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to get to know her and work with her!
@@CalebSnell That is beautiful to hear!
Maybe others who reacted negatively to what Niki Sky did is because her reasons may have given them an impact personally and thats something they just can't admit. I personally sold my entire lux bag collections but I admit I left 2 pcs now just to remind of some important life events. There are moments that I would want to get another one but I refused and just play Niki's videos again and I feel better.
I completely agree, I think her videos may have stirred up some deep subconscious thoughts for some people.
We all change and that’s just life in general. These are just things. Good on you Nikki if you felt this is not you anymore. Self awareness is a good thing. ❤ Caleb you did an amazing job.
Thank you so much, Kenny!
How does this only have 5.6k views? I thought it was a very thoughtful interview! Thank you Caleb! I think that Niki is just going through another phase of life and it's totally acceptable if she feels like she doesn't need the things she needed in the previous phase
Thank you so much, Sofia! I agree! Niki was fabulous to talk with and I enjoyed learning more about her process.
Thank you for giving her compassion ❤
She's such a fantastic person, and I'm excited to see her get to share her story and intentions!
Such a great, professional interview. I look forward to more of this type of content from you, Caleb! ❤
Thank you so much!! I definitely want to do more of this type of content for sure!
Sounds like this is all a lead up to a new brand deal announcement. Perhaps it’s related to the high quality handbag that was casually mentioned but not disclosed.
That's all great advice! I'm happy to hear it!
Wonderful video. Niki is exploring the next chapter of her life. She came across sincere. She has new priorities now and a whole new adventure raising 2 kids and I wish her well. I honestly believe her video did not quite convey what she was wanting to say. That's probably why it stirred up so much reaction. You helped clear that up. Well done, both of you. 😊❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Dee!! I truly appreciate your support! And I'm so excited to see where Niki's adventures take her next. You're right, we all have different chapters of life, and what we value most in chapter 4 could be meaningless by chapter 7.
Thank you for this video,
One thing that we talked about in the live :love the new lighting on your side
**I appreciate her coming and trying to explain, but I still believe that if you’re truly want it just let it go with social media,
and that’s it.
the keep talking about making videos/views it is the same instead of telling me what I need to buy your telling me what I need to do so… I don’t like it
But then again no everyone needs to understand it
🌸🌼🌺
Thank you so much, Shikma! And thank you for sharing your feedback and perspective! I hope you're having a great week!
This
You demonstrated great compassion in this interview! 💙 Thank you for sharing with us all.
Thank you, Shery! I'm glad you enjoyed the interview!
Thank you for this interview. Nothing wrong with taking a step back and reviewing what is really important to you and what you want in life.
Exactly! And thank you for watching!
Caleb and Zane…has Niki done an interview with anyone else? This was so good guys.
Hi Dawn! I don't think so! And thank you! I'd love to do more interviews in the future
I love your red hair❤❤ I love Nikki! Much success on your new journey!❤
Thank you so much!!
Thank you Caleb and Niki for making this video, nice editting Zane :). This is Niki's own journey and life, so of course it is going to change , ebb and flow and evolve. Alot of what she says I do understand and do agree with. She does come across as being very self aware. I am sorry that the selling of the Birkin was a loss, but think of it this way, she got to use it, and some of it contributed to her life and in a way I like to think that it is positive in that way. And rather she got some money back than not and was able to move on. TBH having kids does change one's perspectives massively, they become the focus and she just wants mental space to deal with it. . And lot's of people now with adult children or empty nesters can now indulge themselves when they couldn't before - but no one judges them for that? right?. Anyway, good job on both of you for dealing with this issue and clearing the air. Well done on the interview Caleb, it was very thoughtful and documentary like, just the facts and leave the emotions out of it.
Thank you so much, Grace! I fully agree with your comment regarding the different seasons of life, it makes perfect sense. And thank you for your other kind words, I truly appreciate it!
Nice job, Caleb. I hope this is a safe forum for broad views and reactions. I think she needs to lighten up a bit and not take herself so seriously. None of this is groundbreaking or extremely important. This was almost a parody to me. Not because of you, Caleb. We love you. But this was a long long humble brag of an interview. The fact that she can’t see how this makes her look lets me know she’s not as self aware as she thinks. “I wish my house was smaller”. Wait. What?? I’m horrified for her. Thanks, Caleb for giving her a forum but this was a backfire for her though. Not being a hater just want to share an honest bit of feedback. Caleb and Zane, nice job on the video.
Hi JK! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate the feedback and understand where you're coming from. However, I wanted to offer a different perspective on Niki's interview. It's important to remember that everyone has their own way of expressing themselves and their experiences. Niki's comments might come off a certain way to some, but they also reflect her personal journey and growth.
While it might seem like a humble brag, it's also possible she's trying to share her lessons and challenges authentically. We all interpret things differently, and that's okay. Your feedback is valuable, and I'm sure it will be taken into account in future content. Thanks again for contributing to the conversation!
I hear you, Caleb. Maybe it is just her delivery that I’m reacting to. Appreciate your take. Keep doing what you do.
I agree, her delivery felt inauthentic like she was purposely trying to sound demure and look down.
I had watched all of the reactions to Niki’s video when it came out and I thought yours was done with class and was a fair assessment. The others seemed so nasty I’m glad you did this. Well done !
Thank you so much! I'm glad we did too!
Hi 👋 Caleb and Zane finally was able to be in a better head space to finish video. First the video production and the interview part on y’all’s end is fantastic . I’m very proud of both of y’alls hard work and being a safe space for Nicki to come to and try and explain her recent revelations that’s a testimony to your sincerity Caleb. Great job and great teamwork TFS 🛍️👛🚢🦆🙏
Thank you so much, Dee Dee!! This video took a lot of work on everyone's part, and I couldn't be prouder of what we were able to produce. 🫶
She lost me at the 2 minute mark when she said she was a private person. LOL!
It's definitely possible to be a private person and still create content.
@@CalebSnelltrue, and I admire your politeness, I wish I had it. I would’ve done some push back on some of the things she said regarding her being a private person, house, and vehicle, and closet, but it was your interview. I love your content and hope you don’t’ fall into that trap, young man. Your genuine love and appreciation for the items you showcase come through in a very authentic way which is why i subscribed to your channel.
Keep up the great work, and good luck to her.
Great video, Caleb. I appreciate the fact that you legitimately interviewed her without attacking her and with no judgement.
I’m now curious to know the niche handbag brand she’s eyeing. I’m sure time will tell.
Thank you, Nikia! She's absolutely right, we go through different seasons of life and what we value as important can change. I'm also curious to learn more about the niche brands she'll find- I'm sure they'll be good!
Beautifully done! I do feel like you were the right person to do this!
Thank you so much, Ty Ty! That means a lot!
Just want to say great job Caleb and Zane fantastic editing! Interesting to hear her point of view.
Thank you so much, Nancy! Zane worked so hard on this edit, and I'm so proud of the final product. And speaking with Niki I was able to learn a lot from her about herself and her new journey.
Thank you Nancy!! I found myself changing things so much that I realized I need to step back and realize it won’t be “perfect” at least in my eyes 😅
@@ZaneAnderson1 I appreciate all the work you do it’s truly exceptional!
And this is how it is done!
First of all I rarely comment on Social Media because I find this often shown hostility awful. This is why applaud Caleb for talking to Nikki instead of talking about her. This lacks so much nowadays... And I applaud Nikki for talking to Caleb, she surely did not need to.
When I saw all these reaction videos I was quite surprised that influencers felt "the need" to tell us consumers that luxury shopping was still ok. We are grown people, we know that. I felt much more that influencers were defending themselves for still making that content. No need for that, either... Nikki and all the other influencers can choose to create the content they want - as long as they do not hurt other people. And we the consumers can choose if we want to watch it or not.
Thanks Caleb and Nikki!
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your comment! And I fully agree- all content is valid as long as it's not designed to hurt other people. Thank you!
Great job on the interview and all of your prep and organization Caleb👌✌️!
I don’t know this young woman but it sounds like she has started a new chapter of her life and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. We all evolve and grow in our own time and it’s a beautiful thing to behold. I wish her all the best on her future endeavors. ☮️💟
Thank you, Monica! Exactly, we all evolve and I'm excited to see where her next chapter takes her!
What a very well done interview!! I had not followed Nikki before, but only gotten wind of her life change decision as it rocked the Luxury world. After watching this, I am very interested in following her. What a genuine soul! Thank you for this amazing interview!
Thank you so much!
What is the brand name of the handbag of the non brand that you mentioned 😊
I never subscribe to Nikki. I don’t understand the big deal. If she doesn’t want luxury items anymore that’s her choice. I love my luxury items so I am keeping. I wish her well on her new journey ❤
Exactly! We should all be given respect no matter what journey we decide to take. Thank you for watching, Mimi!
Exactly! That’s it. No biggie.
I wanted to say thank you to Niki, i was looking for changing my wardrobe and browsing for ideas, and came across her profile. Her statement stopped me from following trend, as myself i don’t really like most of luxury bags, but i did felt like i had to have some of them. This made me to stop and rethink.
She shared a lot of great ideas and points for sure!
Great video Caleb. I felt for Niki the whole time people were bashing her decisions. I felt her decisions were honest. I never understood why people cared why she did it in the first place. Tfs 🥰
Thank you, Andrea! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great job, Caleb!! Very insightful interview! 👍🏾
Thank you so much!
Wow, congrats on this amazing video Caleb! And thanks to Niki for the collab. Good job Zane! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much, Brock! Niki was absolutely fabulous to work with, and she couldn't have been more kind or generous in our interactions. And Zane- he just continues to surprise me with his edits.
Thank you!!! ❤
It’s so nice Caleb to see someone address Ms. Sky and do a combined video so we can actually hear the breakdown of what she meant because I feel that it is important especially if you are an influencer of whatever your channel may be about. It actually was a dramatic change of perspective for her subs and I feel that when the person that fulfilled any kind of joy for you in anyway with even buying one or two luxury items which I’m sure was the case, feelings can get hurt with her change of heart. I understand sharing your truth with your subscribers but it doesn’t change the fact that it may still make someone feel bad in my opinion, in the same token many people may not feel bad at all especially if they did not break their bank but even if they did stretch their finances a bit to get that bag they wanted they still did what made them happy. Every case is different. Change can be a great thing like it has been for her and her new place in her life and that’s good. ❤ty again Caleb and Niki❤
Hi Esmerelda! You made some really good points in this comment, I truly appreciate it! Like you said, I could certainly understand how feeling got hurt along the way, but I'm also excited to see where her next journey takes her!
Such a great video! Caleb you really came in with an open mind and open heart.
Thank you so much, Sara!
18 year old here. I cannot afford luxury brands or items and i feel pretty sad knowing that by the time I would be able to afford those items, i might not feel the need to buy them. For me a cartier ring or a chanel brooch is very beautiful. Any women who had regrets buying those items should know that they once gave you joy, so now they have fulfilled their purpose.
In addition I’m happy for Niki and everyone’s joy and change and fulfillment. Happiness and peace are very important.❤
I couldn't agree more!
I really didn't understand why everyone was picking her video apart. It's sad she felt she had to explain and that she was hurt by those videos.
Thanks for this.
Hi 👋 I’ll probably have to watch this in pieces I’m not sure 🤔…… TFS 👛🛍️🚢🦆🙏
It's a long one, so I understand. Thank you for your support, Dee Dee!
@@CalebSnell oh it’s not the length at all, it’s some of her responses so I have to take it in snippets. I think she’s very young so I just need to be in the correct frame of mind. You are doing great.
This was so well done, boys. You are a great interviewer C! And Z, great job with the editing. So proud of you both! 😊
Thank you, Paul!! I'm really glad all of our hard work paid off with a great video!
What an amazing opportunity to go deeper in conversation and create space for dialogue. Fantastic job!
Thank you so much, April!
Caleb you did such great work with this interview! And so did Zane!!
Thank you so much, Alina!
I'm so excited to watch this video!!!
Thank you, Digital!! I can't believe it's finally live!
Niki just revealed how insecure the Lux community is! I cannot get over how someone who talked about HER feelings for HER life and change of direction, was taken ‘personally’ by others. It was quite incredible and saddening to watch. It just highlights the toxicity of social media.
Niki obviously had to put out a video to explain to her subscribers to give them the heads up on her new direction. The internet ran with that and in true narcissistic fashion, ran with it and made it about them.
That guy that said ‘Shut up’ with the sour face just was RUDE.
I completely agree. I think that her initial video stirred up some latent negative feelings in their subconscious. Some of the reactions were downright rude for sure.
@@CalebSnell Definitely! So glad you gave Niki a voice on your channel. You handled a sensitive situation so well.
I think people are just upset about the times she generalizes everyone who buys luxury items into one category of being hoodwinked. She can do what she wants but that’s the part people didn’t think was fair, from what I’ve deduced from watching reaction videos.
Caleb. This was a excellent interview. You and Zane were excellent. Bravo bravo bravo.
Thank you so much, Kris!!
You did a fabulous job with the interview and full credit to Zane with the editing.
Thank you so much, Daniel!!
great interview, would like to see more interviews
Thank you! I hope to do some more in the future!
Hi Caleb! I don't understand why people are making a BIG DEAL about her selling her handbags. We all make our own choices and just because she wants to sell her collection, for whatever reason, it doesn't mean THEY HAVE TO. LOL. It's just ridiculous. People are just looking for ways to critique, and show criticism towards her decision on what she sells or doesn’t sell. It's HER decision. People are just mean. Anyway...just wanted to comment❤
Thank you so much, Debbie! I agree, it's her journey, her choice and she should have the freedom to do whatever she likes in that regard. Thank you for watching and commenting!
1000000% THIS!
Possessions are not the problem. Not knowing who you truly are is.
That's profound and true.
Great job Caleb and Zane!
Thank you so much, Christine!!
Thank you!!! ❤
Excellent interview. ❤❤
Thank you so much!!
Well, my understanding is that Niki Sky came off as having strong opinions on people who do have an interest in fashion and their motivation for such....so naturally people who felt hurt by her judgement about who they were supposed to be asked questions back and wanted to distance themselves from what Niki Sky projected them to be about.
That's an interesting take, thank you for sharing!
Bravo!!! Caleb and Zane amazing video!! 😊
Thank you so much, Millisa! It was a lot of work, but I'm so proud with how it turned out!
Some of Niki’s thoughts were incomplete and contradictory. Pushing out content, only to say “I don’t have to explain myself” - ummm….okay, so keep it to yourself. Part of the challenge is that social media enhances the spotlight quickly; and to point out, most ✌🏽influencers✌🏽 are not equipped to handle publicity like that. She’s absolutely trying to create an uproar on the heels of announcing what she’s working on.
She should’ve just slowly integrated her pieces out, privately, if she doesn’t feel she has to explain herself- it’s like, but you did! So, because you brought it up- you’ll have to sort the confusion.
I don’t think Niki is as evolved as she thinks. Somehow you’re so above it?! You already spent the money! “I’ll make sure it’s something that aligns with my new identity” BYYYYYEE!!! “Tesla is the most safe car in the world right now” - yeah, until it crashes. She still has an elitist approach to design, style and function. Talking about her big house, “this is what we had to do” 🙄🙄🙄
Good interview, Caleb.
You asked all the right questions. Never heard of her, until you interviewed her.
Also, a Birkin 35 is a great Mom bag. You can put so much in that bag! So I don’t know what she’s talking about. She’s still figuring it out, so her positioning herself like an expert- girl, stop.
It’s also a very heavy bag so it’s not an ideal mom bag for many ppl, and that’s ok too.
Excellent,well done to both of you.
Than you so much!
Great job Caleb.
Thank you, Mimi!
I really wish her the best. I mean she went extremes. I feel like she went to therapy then realized enough is enough
This was so good Caleb. Well done.
Thank you, Dawn!
Nicely done.
Thank you so much!!
The older I become the more I like vintage quality leather bags or new clear bags over logo bags that don’t go with everything. I don’t like making all those dressing decisions anymore and enjoy thrifting higher quality clothing items instead of buying cheap fast fashion that doesn’t last and goes out of style.
Thank you for sharing! Nothing beats a good quality vintage leather bag!
Excellent interview ❤
Thank you, Lisa!
more power to her but I do not know her but go get help and work though it do come on TH-cam looking for self help go see a support group I sorry as disabled person we get help I do not come on TH-cam to tell disabled people live there lives more power too but get help you need this not for me
Hi Hamid! That's a valid perspective, but I think she just wants the freedom to explore who she is and share her journey with us. I'm excited to see where it takes her!
@@CalebSnell more power but get help she need they are so many mental heath professionals in wold but wish her well
I am in the same space as Niki.
Why does this remind me of Shane Dawson interviewing Jeffrey Star lol (no shade, just feels similar to the beauty guru drama from years ago)
Not the beauty guru drama! 🤣
So if you want to live a simpler lifestyle maybe don’t have a job as a social media lifestyle influencer. And if your taste changes to less flashy handbags, get plainer ones. Not a philosophical quandary. Monetizing your downsizing quest on TH-cam is kind of ridiculous.
Thank you for your input, Pam! I definitely think there's still room for Niki to share her experiences with this journey and in offering styling tips to folks who maybe don't want luxury handbags and clothing.
Great job ❤😊
Thank you so much, Kaylhee!!
@@CalebSnell your welcome
Her video came off condescending it’s good she got to expand on her position. She makes more sense here… she came off weird in her video but either way… wish her luck.. she didn’t deserve the hate train
Thank you, Lutifah! I agree, she didn't deserve the hate train.
Humility
She speaks like she's a victim of her own life. Do people really care that much about what she keeps and sells? She is acting like everyone is against her. Why doesn't she just do what she wants to do and not broadcast it all? The way she speaks like she "never wanted a house this big," as if she was forced. If her and her husband built the house together then build the size house you want. Her words are tone deaf.

Haha, thank you Lonnie!!
She’s the smart one. If you have a problem with her.. then you have a problem with yourself.
Exactly!
How old is Nicky Sky
That's a good question, I'm not sure!
34 she said it in her interview. She has been with her husband since she was 14 and they have been together for 20 years.
I had to delete my first comments. I was possibly unkind to her. She does annoy me though! I mean, they are bags, not part of my ‘identity’! Just bags!
Thank you, Jamie! Me too, it's going to be fun to see where she goes!
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Christina!
Who cares?
sad that she is explaining herself to WHO????? LIVE YOU OWN LIFE ....GESH
Exactly!
