add compassion and whimsy into your life with dodie | Live A Little with Nikki Lilly

welcome back to live a little with nikki lilly... this week nikki is reunited with someone she's known for a very long time: musician, songwriter, author and youtuber dodie. they kick things off reminiscing about the first time they met (when nikki had a massive nosebleed!!) and they became best friends from that moment. they dive deep into something that both of them struggle with - the curse of the youtube brain (that constant feeling of "should i be filming this?"). dodie opens up about how she used to love recording every moment to chronicle her life, but now even in offline moments with friends, there's still that nagging voice asking "is this a wasted opportunity?" they talk about being introverted despite being online creators, how your sacred time to yourself becomes even more important the more you're visible, and the struggle of figuring out where you begin and where your persona ends. but the bigger conversation? nikki and dodie explore how social media has shifted, how human connection is so grounding, and how coming back to real life is the antidote to always feeling like you need to be doing more. but here's the thing they keep returning to: it's okay to just be. you don't need to constantly evolve or optimise yourself. you are enough right now. they also chat about dodie's incredible collaboration with jeff goldblum (yes, really) and quick-fire questions! if you've ever felt like you're constantly performing, burnt out from being online, or wondering when being productive became your entire personality... this one's for you. don't forget to subscribe and don't miss new episodes every thursday!
