  • romanticising being alone

    romanticising being alone
    Feb 19 2026
    this week's episode of live a little is an honest one, filmed the day after nikki had a nosebleed at a bafta event - so she's not quite herself, but that's exactly the point. in this episode, nikki lilly is diving into what it's really like to go quiet for a while, and why romanticising being alone doesn't have to feel shameful or scary. she gets real about the difference between enjoying your own company and being seen alone - and why the fear of looking lonely has held so many of us back from actually living. this episode explores the concept of jomo (joy of missing out) versus fomo and how spending time alone can actually be restorative rather than something to avoid. nikki breaks down the difference between peaceful solitude and anxious isolation, and why props in public (books, notebooks, headphones) can help soothe your nervous system while you practice being comfortable in your own company. if you've ever felt like you're postponing your life until someone else presses play, or if being seen alone feels like a humiliation ritual... this one's for you. don't forget to subscribe and don't miss new episodes every thursday!

    when control feels like safety
    Jan 29 2026
    Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about eating disorders and weight loss. in this vulnerable and deeply personal episode of live a little, nikki is diving into the topic of control - how it shows up in our lives in both healthy and unhealthy ways, and why we clutch onto it so tightly when everything else feels uncertain. nikki gets real about losing control over her body and childhood when she was diagnosed at six years old, and how that sent her searching for anything that felt like hers. she opens up about experiences that she has never spoken about publicly before, and the importance of finding healthy outlets (like makeup and fashion) for self-soothing. nikki shares the voices that still linger, and her biggest lessons from such a dark time. if you've ever felt like you're quietly drowning while trying to keep your feet above water, this one's for you. don't forget to subscribe and don't miss new episodes every thursday!

  • the importance of varied friendships

    the importance of varied friendships
    Jan 15 2026
    in 2026, we’re all about not having friends that are copy-paste identical to you. on this episode of live a little, nikki lilly is diving into why it’s so important to be surrounded by people who don’t think, look or live exactly like you in order to grow! when we’re young, similarity draws us together – but, as we get older, differences in life experiences can deepen our connections and world view! nikki is also calling out the pressure to have friends at the same life stage, the fear that different opinions are red flags and why people-pleasing made her shrink her own views to match everyone else's. this one's about letting go of the "you're just like me" trope and realising that the healthiest friendships gently challenge you without making you feel small. don't forget to subscribe and catch new episodes every thursday!

  • why it's so hard to de-center the male gaze

    why it's so hard to de-center the male gaze
    Jan 8 2026
    we're starting the new year the way we intend to continue: getting deeply honest. on this episode of live a little, nikki lilly is opening up about the male gaze, pretty privilege and what it's like to grow up without external validation - especially from boys. she's unpacking how growing up with a facial difference meant never being "chosen" at school, always being the friend that boys would come to about other girls and how that shaped her self-worth in ways she's still unpicking today. nikki talks about romanticising tiny interactions because they were so rare, being terrified to even look boys in the eye, and convincing herself from age 8 that she'd probably be alone forever. but she's also exploring the flip side and shares a healing conversation with a male friend who reminded her she's defined by so much more than her face. this one's about learning that you're not defined by who finds you attractive! don't forget to subscribe and catch new episodes every thursday!
