Summary

"That little voice within us... listen to it. Even when people around us try to drown us out, try to tell us no, try to gaslight us, try to tell us HOW we're feeling, WHAT we're thinking... listen to it because it's always right."

Friend, I am honored to bring you this honest and vulnerable chat with Brooke Baldwin, a celebrated journalist and former CNN anchor.

We chat about Brooke's experiences in journalism, her departure from CNN, and her insights on the media industry today. Brooke shares the personal journey she has been on, including finding her voice, growing in her faith, and her determination to leave a lasting impact by sharing her truth and encouraging women to use their voices.

There are so many opinions about journalists, what their motives are, and if we can trust them in 2025. Brooke is the real deal and my hope is that you walk away from this chat with more understanding of what it's like being a journalist.

Thanks for being here! Slide into my DMs on IG or chat with me on Threads @NicoleWalters.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:04.4	So y'all, you already saw me post on social recently and you flooded my DMs about my
0:09.3	newest vionic shoes.
0:11.2	Now, I want to tell you, one, I'm going to give you a little lead into the next pair that I just
0:16.0	bought.
0:16.3	I literally just bought them.
0:17.6	I'm obsessed.
0:19.0	But the ones that you saw were the bays. Now, the bays
0:22.8	are a fresh take on a nautical style. You saw that they had that buttery, soft, leather upper
0:27.9	and the cute detailing, but they're slip-ons. And that's what everyone was saying, oh my gosh,
0:33.1	Nicole, I need these. We are in fall. We are chasing after these kids. We have too much going on. And I got to tell you, the bay shoes from Vionic are everything. What I love about them is not only are they cute and they go with everything from my middy length sun dresses to some cute caprice, very fall-centric outfits. But they have a supportive contoured
0:55.8	footbed, which means that I am comfortable all day. I got to tell you, after having a baby and
1:01.7	being a mom on the go, I need shoes that don't just look good, but they have to feel good too.
1:06.5	Now, here's a sneak peek. I just got a new pair of vionics, y'all, and I'm not even going to tell you, but if you go online, you can see them now. They are a Mary Jane look. You've already seen them. They're trending everywhere. They look good with jeans. They look good with dresses. They look good with shorts. And they are so stylish. I can wear them from the office to out with the kids, but because they're bionics,
1:27.7	they also feel good. So stay tuned to my social because you're going to see them. But if you want
1:32.4	to snag them now, you can use code Walters at checkout for 15% off your entire order at
