Host: Yusuf

This week, Yusuf in the Building is joined by Dr. Nicole, host of The Secret Formula of Femininity, live from Podcast Summit 2026 for an honest, insightful, and entertaining conversation about what it really takes to build healthy, lasting relationships.

Dr. Nicole opens up about her 15-year marriage, meeting her husband while serving in Senegal, and why communication, healing, and putting your ego aside are essential for creating the relationship you truly want. Yusuf and Dr. Nicole also discuss the growing conversation around masculine and feminine energy, how childhood experiences shape adult relationships, and why so many people struggle to find—and keep—love today.

Plus, Dr. Nicole steps into the Relationship Status Either/Or Hot Seat, answering hilarious relationship dilemmas that reveal just how she navigates marriage in real life.
