  • Episode 27 - The Radical Joy of Realizing You Have Done Your Best And Now It's Someone Else's Job
    Jun 23 2025

    In this week's Episode 27 of We Are Out of Office, your co-hosts Nikki T and Jayne Allen keep the group chat virtual and delusional as usual, catching you up, bringing food for thought and food for your soul, all with a healthy double dose of laughs.

    This is a powerful can't miss episode: the co-hosts go deep, make it personal, and get transparent on the challenges of life that led them each to understand what it means to say "my best is enough." Nikki and Jayne explore what rest looks like, particularly for black women, when it is time to take a break, or as Jayne Allen says, "Perhaps now is the time to cry."

    Share the challenges and the celebrations as Jayne also gets candid on her latest ChatGPT prompts for the most incredible manifestation tool you'll have to try for yourself to believe.

    Nikki T shares her fun finds and insights like Suit-jitsu, another fantastic black beauty brand, the new club she's joined, and tells listeners who she might have become if she had stopped caring sooner.

    Plus, this week, like every week, the ladies catch each other up on their life discoveries, what their "algorithm" has shown them, and their thoughts on the cultural happenings that we've all seen and desperately need to unpack. This is a mostly politics-free episode and a safe space for healing, self discovery, and the personal pursuit of radical joy.
