Today, Nicole breaks down all stock market lingo you need to decode investments —like market cap, and P/E ratio—and shows you how they actually work in real-life trading, using a deep dive into a real example of a stock that got... weird.

You'll learn how to spot a stock’s highs, lows, and everything in between… plus why relying on just one type of analysis (technical OR fundamental) is like trying to fly a plane with one wing.

Today Nicole sits down with celebrated journalist Daryn Kagan and her husband, Trent Swanson—though around here, we call him The Miles Husband.

Daryn reflects on the highs of her career as a news anchor and what it felt like when CNN didn’t renew her contract. She shares how she navigated that turning point, what it taught her about financial security, and how she redefined success. Daryn also gives her strategy for creating the role you want and shares a message for anyone still waiting on their dream career, relationship, or family.

Then, Trent breaks down how a little curiosity about credit card points turned into a full-on travel hacking strategy that now has the couple flying around the world in luxury for next to nothing... and how you can, too!

Pattie Ehsaei’s life may look picture-perfect now—she’s a financial exec, lawyer, and author—but it’s been shaped by unimaginable tragedy. Pattie grew up watching her mom depend entirely on her dad financially, a dynamic that turned toxic and ended in unimaginable tragedy. Later, Pattie found herself in a financially abusive relationship of her own, repeating painful patterns until she broke the cycle. 

Today, she shares the lessons she’s learned about love, money, and power—wisdom she’s also laid out in her book, Never Date a Broke Dude. Nicole and Pattie talk about why who you choose as a partner is the biggest financial decision you’ll ever make, how stay-at-home parents can protect their financial autonomy, and how to spot the money red flags that don’t always look like red flags. And yes—they also get into why Pattie says you should never date a broke dude.

Immigration is dominating headlines—but not just for political reasons. Today, Nicole breaks down the economic side of immigration, and the Trump administration’s strategy to monetize the American dream. From the new $100,000 fee for skilled foreign worker visas to the ultra-elite “Trump Gold Card” offering U.S. residency for $1 million, Nicole unpacks the numbers behind the policies. Could these controversial programs really generate $100 billion in revenue? Or are we pricing out the very talent and innovation that made America an economic powerhouse?

Heather Dubrow (Real Housewives of Orange County) is the real deal; she’s built wealth, made mistakes, learned the hard way, and she’s not afraid to talk about any of it. Today, Nicole and Heather dive into the Dubrows' recent real estate wins and failures, how she and her husband divide financial roles, and how they rebuilt trust after being scammed out of $2 million. Plus, because Heather is the most hilarious, Nicole gets Heather's hot takes on viral money stories. 

This episode gets personal. A new survey from U.S. Bank found that many Americans are making smart choices with their money, but many feel progress is elusive because the goals people care about (buying a home, retiring comfortably, building wealth), depend on economic forces beyond their control. Today, Nicole helps you learn the research-backed strategies to improve confidence and work towards your financial goals.

To help unpack these strategies, Nicole is joined by U.S. Bank's Scott Ford, Head of Wealth Management at U.S. Bank, and Kate Phelan, California Regional Director of Strategic Wealth Planning and Advice. They cover how to prepare for buying a home, what to prioritize at different life stages, how to approach retirement in a world where it’s getting longer and less predictable, and what small money wins you can start today to build real momentum. They also talk about how to prepare for disaster, and Nicole opens up about rebuilding her life and studio after losing her home in the LA fires.

Whether you’re rebuilding from life’s curveballs or just trying to get your financial footing, this episode is packed with real-world advice and heart.

Today, Nicole talks to Mimi Bouchard. She has built a practical, science-backed system for rewiring your brain to create real change in your life. Mimi shares hacks for productivity and confidence, the neuroscience behind manifestation, and how a quick audio pep-talk helped her get out of her own way and build real wealth.

Nicole has long said that everyone— not just celebrities or billionaires—should have a prenup, and to make that case, she’s joined by the GOAT of divorce law: Laura Wasser. Known for representing A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Johnny Depp, and Britney Spears, Laura brings more than just star power—she’s a fierce advocate for smarter, healthier relationships built on clear communication, especially around money.

In their conversation, Nicole and Laura dive into everything from crypto and pet custody to embryos and outrageous prenup clauses—yes, including rumors like the alleged “addiction clause” in Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s agreement. Laura also shares some of the wildest prenup requests she’s encountered and offers a refreshingly honest take on why asking for a prenup (or postnup) isn't divorce planning, it's marriage planning.

Nicole breaks down the latest moves from three of the biggest names in investing—Bill Ackman, Cathie Wood, and Warren Buffett—and reveals what you can actually learn from watching the pros. Copying their portfolios might sound like a shortcut to success, but it’s not a cheat code—it’s homework. Nicole shows how studying their strategies can help you spot market themes, understand investor psychology, and fine-tune your own approach. From Ackman’s conviction bets to Cathie’s innovation plays to Buffett’s timeless discipline, you’ll walk away knowing how to learn from the best… while making your own money moves.
