IM READY FOR OUR NEXT HALLOWEEN COLLAB AHAHAHHAHAAH
Oh my god yessssss I love nostalgia feels
plzz
diy Tumblr Halloween costumes 2022!!!!
YAZZZZ
Schedule that shit NOWWW I don’t want any excuses 😆
REMI is such a great listener. She is so present and she never cuts anyone off or is thinking of what to say next she really just listens attentively. Also her listening face is so pleasant lol she just smiles
Pls, the whole time I was like Alisha please stop interrupting niki 😭 half the time she couldn’t finish her sentence lol
@@Mollywashere alisha has always been interrupting people while talking. nothing new
@@urmom-yy7xg I’m well aware…I listen to the podcast lol
@Caroline Vino time stamp?
@Caroline Vino like she would ask the question and then cutting her off like babe please let her finish telling the story. I get it, I do especially if she does have adhd but she did it the entire time lol
Remi is such an amaaaazing host!!! She is a good listener and goes with the flow of the conversation yet still come back to the main point politly❤️ love u rem
عاش ابو غامد
I get that Alisha has come out of her shell the past year and is way more comfortable on the podcast. But a lot of the time I feel like she overshadows Remi, not only the interruption, but the fact that she tend to be the “main” character in the topics. Like it’s Alisha’s dating, Alisha’s mental health, Alisha’s motivation, Alisha’s views as the single bestfriend.
I wanna hear about Remi as well!!!! How was it for her branding herself, how is her mental health? She has shared how differently society view you when your “thinner” vs. “bigger” I would LOVEEE to hear more about that. How was it for her growing up as an Asian and Christian? How was it for her feeling “left out” of the lifestyle girlies. Her views as a girlfriend, does she feel pressure to get married or have a child. Her insecurities and things she love about herself? How does it feel to be labeled as the “nice friend” and the friend that’s lovesss to plan. Does it ever get annoying? How is it being compared to Alisha or even the others in Asian girl squad?
Love you both! And I want both you to shine in the podcast!!! It’s giving Alisha and her bestfriend right now. I want Remi and Alisha, Alisha and Remi!
Yess and even when it is about remi alisha always goes “omg MEEE” and then talks about herself like she did 100x in this episode
So truee
YES, I agree!! This is exactly why I hardly watch this podcast because it's always about Alisha! I love them both but I wanna hear more about Remi for once :(
I think it also has to do with a lot of the guests are Alishas old friends, and so they have more to talk about than Remi does as she wasnt apart of that clique. I think we need more of Remis own guests on here!
@@prettycee619 Im talking about when they have no guest
I love how vulnerable Niki was. Her and Alisha were on the same wavelength about the anxiety and depression. I think it was so insightful having Remi there to show what its like from a friends perspective that is not currently going threw it to show how to be a better friend to someone who suffers from mental health
i love niki. shes such a free spirit and a beautiful soul, but her eyes looked so sad at certain points. i hope shes doing okay :(
Niki and Nate broke up
@@Missmagazinebura DID THEY?! holy shit! both her and gabin ending long term relationships
@@DanielaGarcia-fw3tl For their careers
LMAO NOT ME BEING CALLED OUT ON BEING LATE AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
She a loyal listener ✨
I know Alisha interrupting is not from a malicious place, but it’s frustrating because there seems to be no progress with the issue. I have ADHD and i get how challenging it can be, but it’s something you have to consciously in the moment work on and restrain from talking over people. I feel like i could feel Remis energy In this video, a bit frustrated. I wish we could hear and learn more things about Remi, she speaks so elegantly and always does such a good job at listening, which is why i so badly want the same for her in return.
Therapist Niki deadass just told me exactly what I needed to hear and I didn’t even know I needed to hear that. This episode is my favorite episode so far!!
how has she not been on any podcasts she has so much to say and i love it all.
I love how remi is giving alisha her moment relating to, sharing with and asking niki for advice.. ultimate bestie vibes
i love Niki's advice to start honoring your present self and enjoying the little moment s but allowing yourself to be down and feel your feelings when you need to. ❤️
Niki's voice is perfect for podcast format, such a good episode!!!!!! LOVED IT
Niki was so incredibly inspiring to listen to that I’m saving this podcast to listen to when I have bad days!! She’s attune with herself and her feelings and I love it. Also shoutout to Alisha for also being so transparent and admitting that she’s been on the other side and has been judgmental before but now is more empathetic and understanding. Amazing episode 🥺💕 will definitely re-listen in the future
Niki is unapologetically herself and i’ve only been following for a couple years but she’s grown so much!!! Love her and hope for nothing but the besssssst for each and every one of you!!! ❤️❤️🫰🏼
The way Nikki described the aftermath of experiencing depression is SO REAL and soo true she described it perfectly
i love remi and how wonderful of a listener she is. she has such warm energy and i appreciate how she is very intuitive and intentional about how she speaks. she listens to understand not listen to respond! love u remi
Niki speaking on mental health is exactLy what i felt like i went through and her version of self care is exactly what i do and need to hear
Niki is so eloquent and smart and wise. As a loooong time subscriber, I'm so proud of her for who she's become ♥
As soon as remi gets to speak here comes Alisha 💀😂
Yep, this was legitimately iconic. I wish I could have been in the room for this conversation. I’m really inspired by a lot of what was said, and I’m super excited to see where I take my TH-cam channel with the “do more of what makes me happy” mindset. Who gives a fuck if a video I make is a “viral idea”? Just make shit that feels like me and if it’s not fun, really question why I’m doing it. Thanks girls, I really needed this episode.
this is hands down my fav podcast episode EVER. As someone who struggles with depression, anxiety, adhd and ocd, I felt so understood and learned so much from this. Thank you
She has such good energy, just calm and angelic. I loved this episode (every episode tbh). We need those collabs hahahha
This was one of my favorite podcast you’ve done. Niki is so raw and articulate with her emotions, it was so interesting and made you want to listen to her. She way she reflects on things and her insight made me so interested.
Niki speaks so eloquently. I’ve only really realized after listening to this.
This interview was actually so fun to watch I knew of niki but didn’t know much about her and she’s calm but still entertaining so I rlly loved it
I came here for NIKI. Boy did she give solid advice for depressive ppl. I learned SOOO MUCH. THANKYOU NIKI
Niki- I truly believe you are exactly where you need to be right now. Case in point, you mentioned your current music is reflecting the happiness you’re feeling. There is a newfound freedom and a carefree nature to you, that seems to be coming alive during this time. After seeing you struggle for so long with your identity, it’s truly rewarding to witness your growth. I know behind the scenes it’s been rough, and bittersweet to say goodbye to versions of the future that you may have thought at one time were exactly what you wanted. But this is just the beginning of a beautiful chapter for you.
Over the last two years or so I’ve come to love and respect niki so much and all this did was grow it. I see a lot of similarities between me and her and this episode really makes me feel seen and I love how Alisha and remi held the interview and just to see the chemistry between the three. This might be my fave episode yet.
When niki talks about how you align yourself, your mind, protecting your energy, empathy, doing your makeup, watching out for yourself are all positive things that we should do in order to get in check with ourselves honoring ourselves. I love that advice and that's how I am with myself because I know that my past doesn't predict my future.
Honestly this episode was so validating. I feel like Niki was able to express so much of what I’ve been feeling but not really understanding how to deal with it or what exactly is even going on with myself. This makes me feel a little more normal and makes it a little less scary. Niki I hope you come back on the podcast again I love the dynamic of you three, I could’ve listened to this for hours!!❤️
When she talks about honoring your present self - literally that is so important to living a happy peaceful life. And when she says give yourself time to grieve, give yourself a break let yourself be sad for a couple days, feel your feelings! but then get up and live life! so powerful i love her.
i’ve been following niki and gabi (as well as all the other big youtubers of that group) for years now and i still feel interested in what they have to say. i 100% relate to niki’s music in fact i like her songs and EP better than most of the music today. i hope she gets even bigger in the music industry cuz everyone sees her as a “youtuber who makes music” and don’t take her seriously which sucks cuz if you know niki and gabi, you know they ALWAYS had a big passion for music
I love how each one has their own individual style, so unique and different!
the way niki feels emotions and honestly just the way she carries herself is so similar to me! i channel that into creativity as well with art and poems! definitely a blessing and a curse sometimes, but honestly it's a wonderful gift for the most part. being "in the know," as y'all said, is really helpful for managing heightened emotions as an empath and someone with anxiety/depression. i love hearing others' stories about things like this! being present while still thinking through everything meticulously is such and admirable ability as well and i love to see others that have it! I get a really comforting and validating vibe from seeing others with the same perspective! 🤍🙌🏻
This is such a great episode. So much insight on really important topics and very much needed conversation. I have so much respect for Niki. Been a fan since 2015 & I’m very proud of where she’s gotten
Great episode but one note- I feel like Remi is doing such an amazing job of listening to the other person and going off of what they are saying, but Alisha is making a lot of things about her when she is not relevant in the moment iyk what I mean
One of my favorite podcast episodes ever!! I’m so glad you guys had Niki on. She is so insightful and self aware I’ve been watching her content since 2020 it’s so good to see her come into her own and do shit that makes her happy! She needs her own podcast! I loved the dynamic of the 3 of you together too! 🖤
I’ve never felt so seen and understood by how Niki described depression. She articulated it so well like I wish I could just send this to explain to everyone I know so they get what I go through. I also really connect with what Niki says about how OCD affects your thinking. This is why I love Niki. She is just so real, genuine, and radiates self discovery. And when she talks or sings you just feel connected to her, understood, and validated. ❤
Love this 💗 Self- care is absolutely anything that helps your mental health. It will be different things for everyone & will more then likely be modified time to time to fit your specific needs. It’s impossible to state how extremely important it is to not only set aside time for self-care when you are really struggling, but instead make this time you set aside for yourself to be part of your lifestyle.I know it seems like there isn’t enough hours in the day, but if you don’t set aside this necessary time for yourself, you will end up losing more time as a result from neglecting your well-being & overall health.
I’ve been thinking ever since the last podcast, and honestly Alisha, has so much knowledge about the TH-cam world. I think she would be a great manager.
I needed to see this side of Niki in order to appreciate her more and I mean that in the nicest way possible. She is so real and herself here !!
This episode was one of my favorites as I’m currently dealing with a lot of lows and depression 🖤✨ this ep meant a lot
You guys need to have all the other OGs on like Eva, Sierra, Meg, cloecoture, aspen etc
PLEASE
YESSSSS
Aspyn would be diffcult just because of her having 2 kids under 4 years old. Not saying parker cannot handle it but that would be a lot
Even though we can't see your family, I can feel that they are proud of you in every way, I really watch everything you do with admiration, I hope I can find the strength to do these things. 🍓♥️🍓♥️🍓♥️
Niki was so right on when talking about mothering yourself. it completely changed my mental health and my relationship WITH myself and how i handle trauma/or even just a bad day.
I love how honest & raw you guys are with your audience. I know it can be difficult to put everything out there but it helps
Literally the best episode EVER!!!!!!! Please do that again 😂❤️ it literally helped me personally so much listening to you guys. Also seeing how understanding Remi was - gosh 💕
Niki - you have grown so much! I loved hearing her speak about depression and how to work through it.
This is literally one of your guy’s best episodes! Love you Niki!😭 You shared such helpful advice that will literally change my outlook on how to cope with my mental health ! Love you guys!!🥹
starting at like 1:05:00 legit make me tear up I guess that was exactly what I needed to hear rn! thank you!!
omg ! same
Love you
Me too
this is such a calm and informative episode! I love Niki so much!!! This is by far the best episode... also, Remi knowing to let Alisha and Niki talk it out is so cute!
Oh here we goooo!!! I’m so excited for this episode 😭 I work a desk job at home, and this gonna get me through the next hour of emails. I appreciate you girlies 💚
I never listened to Niki's songs until this episode and her music is so good especially 9 lives and messy room. Glad I rediscovered her from you guys!
niki needs a podcast or needs to be a reoccurring guest because she’s so calming and i love what she has to say. i LOVED this episode!!
The Niki snd Gabi channel is going to have a podcast now!!
I'm just jealous that you guys even have friends to do things with. I'm 25 living with my parents doing nothing. Talk about nostalgia, I miss the old days when I had fun :(
Ma’am I feel you
@@Pollypocket1 I’m so sad 😭
@@danip2476 don’t be. Their lives aren’t as amazing as they make them out to be. Don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re probably better off than them. None of these people are actually friends and only use each other for content. You’d be better off working on yourself in the real world than comparing yourself to fake people online. No matter how much they “share” with you, just know that they create situations for clicks and will sell their souls for a trending video. None of them are happy, most are miserable. Comparing yourself to them is like looking at a photoshopped photo and trying to mold yourself to it. It’s fake and unrealistic.
this has been my favorite episode. i can’t stop rewatching
i always watched these videos for niki, yes i love gaby but niki always was just more relatable to me in style & everything. we love you mama 💙 glad to see that she’s thriving on her own
NIKIIII U NEED A PODCAST OMGGGG THIS EPISODE WAS EVERYYYYTHINGGGG WOW THANK U I LOVE U GUYS ALL !💛💛💛💛
Niki and Gabi are doing a podcast on their channel!!
@@Dreamshappen211 yessss i cannot waittttt!!
@@leaniiss Me too! I think it actually comes out today:)
IM SO HAPPY NIKKI DID HER FIRST PODCAST WITH YOU GUYS
I’ve literally thought for maybe a year that Alisha might have ADHD because I relate to her so much on things I struggle with bc of adhd plus I have other similar things she also has, but I don’t want to be diagnosing her off of snippets I see on the internet. But especially interrupting and finding links between what other people are going through to your own life, basically so you can understand it more. And just finding random links all around
And then for everyone hating on her, a diagnosis is not an excuse no but when you find out something like that it can often lead to symptoms almost over-presenting for some time before you start to learn strategies to effectively deal with them, also as someone with adhd - not talking constantly and not interrupting people is HARD and all these gorgeous women are doing beautifully, adhd or not.
LOVED THIS EPISODE. haven't watched Niki in a while and it's so fabulous seeing what growth WOW 💗
niki did so well for her first pod!! i’d love to see carly & erin on as well, a little only friends/pretty basic collab 💗
I've gone through some extreme lows since the pandemic and experienced some heavy symptoms of depression that even now two years since the pandemic started haven't quite left me and it's gotten to the point where it's gotten hard to mask it in front of friends and family, and they think I'm just selfish and lazy and so watching this video meant so much and gave me so much validation and room to know I'm not selfish or lazy I'm just going through it, I feel like I need to go back through this video with a notebook and write all of Niki's mental health advice down because WOW.
I love deep conversations like this. ✨ Literally watched the whole thing.
the self care section about mothering yourself is what i needed to hear right now.
Loved this! Loved Niki’s input/advice on mental health/depression!! And I hope the TH-cam video ideas you all talked about happen! 🤞
therapist niki session made bawl my eyes out T T thank you so much for the advice!!!! i think it'll help me a lot, i love you
i just wanted to say i grew up with u guys & am still here !! love y’all so much and how much you’ve grown into yourselves ❤️❤️
I put this on and just about fell asleep to it then I started hearing the depression part and it was such a eye opening talk from Niki I literally sat up and listened and rewound and saved it all. It’s like what I’ve needed to hear for so long..🫢🤔 like I just went to a therapist or something lol (I’ve never been to one but probably really needed to since I’ve had depression for years and have done nothing about it).
I’m gonna come back and listen when I need to remind myself of what she said , so simple yet I needed to hear it from someone else . She made me feel like I will be okay and I won’t need anti depressants , as I’ve been there done that years ago in my early 20s and hated them .and being a depressed parent is hard but I didn’t want to get pills again and wasn’t going to probably so hopefully I’ll be alright if I remember this advice . 🙏🏻
Awesome podcast and she’s so wise glad I didn’t fall asleep 😴,Thankyou🖤
this is soooo good!!! so soothing!! i usually watch nikis channel and honestly its sooo soothing hearing her speaking honestly of her experience with everything
Thank you for talking about your mental journey and how to combat it or how to navigate it when your with a friend/family member who has it. It truly has been eye opening and you’ve given a voice to something I’ve tried to understand. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you Niki Demar for sharing your thoughts on Mental Health… I wrote down all the self care section… It really means a lot to me && others… 🥰🤗 I need Niki in my life for my mental health coach…
This was one of my favorite episodes! I love listening to Niki
This was one of my fav podcasts yall have done yet!! Loved all the conversation topics & overall energy in this!! Thank you for sharing 💛💛
This is legit the best thing i ever heard.. i feel like my elder sisters are helping me getting through stuffs❤️❤️.. i love you all❤️❤️
The only thing constant in life is change, that was the wisest shit I ever heard Niki say. I see u girl!
FYI anxiety and depression are symptoms to a problem that you've been avoiding in your life and the reaction to the environment you subject yourself too. When you are going through it it takes a certain amount of responsibility to get better and sort our life together to when you are in a better place to give that energy to others it is genuine good energy and with that you keep receiving good energy back. Also you have to filter your life and be mindful to always honor yourself and your feelings first and not let other peoples needs overpower yours. This is what I've learned and I hope this helps everyone.
this is such a great insight
YAASSS, i have waiting for this podcast since for ever 💕💕🫶🏻💕💕 and you guys are my fav og TH-camr 🫶🏻🫶🏻💕💕🫶🏻💕🫶🏻💕
Alisha is such a young soul. Every episode I hear her coming into her self and realizing more. She realize what’s she needs in her own time.
She’s like the oldest influencer I know
AMAZING POD!! Niki is absolutely soooo amazing talking about mental health!! WOW! Loved this!!
Okay niki needs to have more mothering talks. She’s always vulnerable but this was just another level. What a queen!!
1:08:07 I felt that. This was exactly what I needed to hear because I am going through that. Such wise words.
Remi’s energy is beautiful and nikis story telling is amazing to listen to :)
love this energy, all of you amazing ladies 🥰 couldn't be more grateful for this conversation, watching Niki's videos and listening to her music has been therapeutic. I'm so so proud of who she is today and I'll continue to support her journey and career 🖤✨
I loved this episode so much
LOVE The self care section! That’s exactly it- mothering yourself. I didn’t learn this until after my own dark depression
Before watching PB today I had never listened to Niki's music but I'm so glad I have now, so good!!
NIKKI OMG..seriously my fav guest so far. I loved this.
omg Alicia you're so right about you guys popping off when Disney was falling. that's definitely when I started following y'all.
so much truth was said!!! it was very refreshing! ♥️
and you guys need to do the videos that make you laugh the way you laughed just thinking about them! who cares if they’re viral or have hella views. i feel like switching things up for a bit and just making fun videos would be a nice change :)
I love niki ♥️ if you’ve known her for her whole career then you know how deserving she is of everything that she is doing and does. I am so proud of her!
when u invited Niki DeMar in a podcast, i already know this podcast will be inspiring🧡💙
This was so amazing. Thank you girlies, love yall!!!
I loooooooved this episode. Niki is such a joy, I love her evolution.🦋
I love seeing this side of Niki🥰 such a great episode

This is one of my favorite episodes ❤️ Niki is so inspiring
This had me smiling for a full hour . This felt like a group of home town friends having a reunion so sweet
love this episode, Niki was so well-spoken!
