Organized Chaos with Nikki Rae
===

Nikki Rae: [00:00:00] I just wanna help people meet their potential of happiness, like to max out on the level of happiness that they can find in life and not be content with life. I find so many people are just settling for less. They don't even know it because they've never had the opportunity to realize that there's more out there.

Not just tangible things, but I mean like internal things and how much happier you could be with yourself. If you just

Jared Easley: welcome back to star of the doubts, I'm one of your hosts, Jared Easley. And of course joining me is my official co-host Christine Watts. Christine. It's been a little while since we've get been able to. 

Ms. Christine: I know 

Jared Easley: so long, so long man, but, uh, we are here today and I'm so excited. Uh, first of all, uh, before we introduce our guests, how are you?

Ms. Christine: Oh, I'm great. I'm groom. I'm doing 

Jared Easley: well. How are you? Great. You're doing well. Any upcoming trips to Philly? The Homeland. 

Ms. Christine: not, not to Philly. Not anytime 

Jared Easley: soon. Okay. Fair enough. I always like to check. Okay. Yeah. And I'm hoping to [00:01:00] see you in Dallas this summer. So I'm my understanding is you, you got quite the, uh, the plans.

Ms. Christine: Yes. Yes. . Oh, goodness. 

Jared Easley: Yeah, you you're doing a tour, right? You're going to like Austin and all these 

Nikki Rae: other yeah. 

Ms. Christine: Austin for a few days before it starts and you know, you get 

Jared Easley: in trouble and 

Ms. Christine: okay. Yeah. And you know, definitely not getting in trouble. 

Jared Easley: I don't believe you. And our, our guest today is Nick Ray, who is also from the lone star state.

She, oh, I don't know if she's from there, but she lives there. She. Houston. And Nikki Ray is also the host of the podcast, organized chaos, which we joked is, uh, should be the name of this show. But congratulations on your success up to this point with life, with podcasting, with being a cool on social media and welcome to the podcast.

Nikki Rae: Thank you. Thank you for having me and Christine, you cannot go to Austin or Dallas and not get in trouble. You didn't even go. If you didn't get, thank you, 

Ms. Christine: Nicky. I am crying. I'm been to Dallas. I've definitely not gotten into it was me. Oh, girl. That [00:02:00] silly. Well 

Jared Easley: that's cuz you didn't know the lay of the land, Christine.

I think once you kind of get familiar with spots, then it's like, it's over. It's like, 

Nikki Rae: oh, okay. I've been to Dallas twice and Dallas has whooped my butt twice. So I have to go back and get some redemption. Yeah. 

Jared Easley: There, there is redemption to be had. Uh, but Nikki, uh, Houston, I'm sure that's uh, that's got some fun.

Uh, oh, 

Nikki Rae: of course. Yeah. I love it here. I love Houston. I was born and raised here. It's great. I feel like I. Every year. I think I like know everything about the city and then something different pops up and there's like always something to do. 

Jared Easley: Mm well said all well, Christine is gonna kick off with our, our icebreaker question that we ask most of our guests.

So Christine, why don't you go ahead? And the honors 

Ms. Christine: concert you have been to? Ooh, 

Nikki Rae: Ooh. That's a hard one. I do a lot of festivals. I wanna say an individual concert. I went to a post Malone concert and it was insane. It was like in a [00:03:00] tent, everyone was smoking. I did not partake in that, but everyone else was.

And I think, I think I got a little secondhand high, cause I could like hear the colors and it was crazy. And he started crying on stage and he broke his guitar and he got the whole crowd to scream, obscure indecent things about his ex-girlfriend and it was just amazing. It was one of his first like video on 

Jared Easley: Instagram.

I 

Nikki Rae: didn't, I didn't have an Instagram back then. This was like, when he first barely came out. Oh, okay. And I'm like the worst millennial. I don't really, I just got on Instagram last year and I'm still figuring it out. And every time I think I figure it out, there's like a new algorithm or a new feature.

Jared Easley: This leads into a fun question. This is a finish this sentence, Nikki. So we're gonna give you the beginning of the sentence. You complete it. And the sentence is if you ever visit Vegas blank, 

Nikki Rae: that's a tough one. There's so many things not to do with Vegas, but if you ever VI visit Vegas. Definitely watch your back, keep [00:04:00] everything in your front pocket.

and you've gotta gamble before you leave. How, okay. So I hope it wasn't like off your 

Jared Easley: back. It, it sounds like there's a story, a pocket story there. Let me 

Nikki Rae: find out they somehow, like you had it on, they somehow robbed you from it. 

Jared Easley: Christine had one of her favorite NBA jerseys stolen one 

Ms. Christine: time. it. Wasn't in my back pocket.

Her Allen ierson Jersey got stolen. It was not in my back pocket. 

Jared Easley: It got stolen that particular night. You were not alert as, as it should have been in my 

Ms. Christine: front pocket. 

Nikki Rae: those are the best stories. No. Oh, no, no, no. 

Ms. Christine: no course they ain going down like that long. Sorry. Should screaming and kicking no, I wasn't even, I wasn't even home at the time.

It was a weird, it was a weird situation. 

Jared Easley: oh my, so Nikki, you were just, you were just in Vegas, 

Nikki Rae: is that right? I was, yeah. I went to Vegas and California and Disneyland for my birthday. Oh, I'm I'm one of those [00:05:00] psychos and I celebrate the whole month. So my real birthday was June 5th. And I had a big party and then it's cause you Gemini, we celebrate for month birthday.

That's why Gemini. 

Jared Easley: Yes. Christine just had her birthday and she, yeah, I went to Puerto Rico. I 

Ms. Christine: wasn't allowed to go the 

Jared Easley: may yeah, I noticed she didn't really post anything publicly about Puerto Rico. Christine. I thought that be purpose. 

Ms. Christine: I, I barely post anything on Instagram's where all myself will like go to snaps.

Cause that's where I put 

Nikki Rae: the hood

Jared Easley: I think, and are gonna good. I think, I think a clue just went out to Christ's really up to. Yeah. If you really wanna know what Christine 

Ms. Christine: said, oh, like y'all, don't need to see that. I was like, I'm gonna put together some pictures and put up like some people in Instagram now I went there. I was like, nah, you know what?

They don't really need that 

Jared Easley: oh, no. Well, it's funny, Nikki, that you were just in Vegas, cuz I was just in Vegas at the same time that you were and just got back and yeah, we did. If I had known that you were there, you know, maybe, maybe I could have PAC, I [00:06:00] did you or something. Not pock at all. 

Ms. Christine: No, no, no. I not say that.

I meant just tell me what money 

Jared Easley: I meant, you know, hang out that 

Nikki Rae: would've made for a better story. yeah, that would've been so 

Jared Easley: cool. yeah, we had a good time. I did something unique in Vegas, Nikki. I don't know if you ever had a chance, but if you get a chance, go ahead. We went to the ice bar or are you familiar 

Nikki Rae: with it?

Oh my gosh. I always wanna go. And the reservations are always filled, 

Jared Easley: so I have not been oh, okay. So. We went and it's, uh, like 15 degrees in this crazy bar. That's like a big cooler and everything's ice. Like you actually, when you get your drink, it's the cup is ice. Oh, no way. Andre wearing a and you're wearing gloves.

So that was experience. How long do you could stay in there? You could stay in there as long as you can take it. Awesome. Maybe stayed in there 45 minutes. when I got out, I was, I was really, really cold, so, oh. And that's with all that stuff on. So, but anyway, next time you go to Vegas, Christine, just kind of.

But don't they do that in 

Ms. Christine: Gaylor palms at Florida? Well, they do. [00:07:00] Okay. So, but that's like a 

Jared Easley: Christmas, that's like a Christmas thing called, which is actually really good too. That's uh, but that's more of a festive holiday thing, not oh, okay. Okay. I do. This was borderline Deb and, um, you know, partaking, which is probably something that you would encourage as well, but I dunno.

Yeah. Did you get to do I can't, I can't see it on your Instagram, so I have no idea. 

Nikki Rae: So area 15. Did you get to do that while you were in Vegas? 

Jared Easley: No, but I saw the signs and I'm curious about it. So if you have a story, please, please share. 

Nikki Rae: Oh my gosh. So one thing you should do in Vegas is go to area 15. It's amazing.

It's like David busters on steroids, but for adults, they have, it's like a, um, the artistic concept with a psychedelic trip. So you go in there, everything's like L E D. And very abstract and they have these underground tunnels and a rock wall. You have to CLA I don't wanna give it all away, cuz there's a whole, it's like a game you go inside this omega Mart and you have to find clues and like travel through these different.

[00:08:00] Dimensions is what it's supposed to be. And it's really awesome. And they leave you clues everywhere. Is that new there? It opened during COVID I believe or right before COVID of course. 

Ms. Christine: Yeah. 

Jared Easley: New within the last years. Not it's not brand new, 

Nikki Rae: but not, but not. Cause I went 

Ms. Christine: during, I've never heard of it when I was there, but I haven't been there in a little better.

Nikki Rae: Well, yeah, they have a lot of stuff. They have arcade. Oh yeah. They have like virtual reality stuff. A bunch of games. I think they even have like mini golf and an ice cream shop. It's so random, but it was so much fun. We spent the whole day there.

Jared Easley: So Nikki, there's a reason why we wanted to have you as a guest. And part of that is because as we mentioned in the intro, you have a podcast called organized chaos. And Nikki, we are fascinated by that. So if you're gracious enough, let's kinda take a, you know, take a little DeLorean trip back in time.

What compelled you to start the podcast organized chaos? How'd you come up with a [00:09:00] name? Let's hear that story. 

Nikki Rae: Ooh, that's a good one. I don't know. I really have always thought I wanted my own podcast or talk show. And this is like, obviously when you're young, it's kind of like dreamy fantasy, but as I got older, And I started dabbling in public speaking and my psychology degree.

I started to realize that people really kind of gravitated and listened to me almost in a sense, like they would really take what I had to say into consideration. So as I got older, I was like, man, I should use these powers for good and like help people. So during COVID me and my best friend, she's no longer with us.

R P she's not my best friend anymore, but we, we dabble. Oh, she's not, we're just not friends. Did she? 

Jared Easley: God 

Nikki Rae: started, we dabbled and tried to start our own podcast and it went really well, but we only got into three or four episodes before we had very creative differences. So I was like, oh, this is not gonna work.

As a, like a team. So I just started kind of doing [00:10:00] my own thing and it took me a little while longer to get back on track. But now that I do it, I loved it. And I go to all these like mixers events and get to meet people like you guys. So yes, I just, I woke up one day. Yeah. That is how we met. It is. 

Ms. Christine: So we're gonna see you in Dallas.

Jared Easley: I hope we will. We may not. She's popular, but yeah. If, if you make it to Dallas is August. We're not gonna tell you not to. 

Nikki Rae: Oh yeah. You gimme a time and place. And I, I live off the land. I travel everywhere. I love it. So I will make the time for it. 

Jared Easley: Bet you have some live off the tips we might, that might be a follow up question here in a 

Ms. Christine: moment.

So I was gonna ask your, uh, what's your recommendation for, uh, people that are people pleasers. 

Nikki Rae: Oh, my gosh. I just did that, that episode. And I gave a little bit of tips, but my podcast episodes are really general just because it's also circumstantial, like based off whatever my client or listeners are going to, but people pleasing it is a habit and it's security and it [00:11:00] is a whole mind practice retraining your brain to kind of put yourself.

but I think the biggest reason is to find out why you people please. And like when you do it often, is it just in your relationships? Are you constantly trying to please your other partner because you're insecure, they don't love you enough or they're gonna leave you or you're not pretty enough. Like, what are you compensating for?

Is the, you have to find that route in order to kind of overcome it and figure out why it's happening when I do it most often, and then we can go back. Kind of revert, retrain and reroute our way of thinking, but you have to find the root of the issue. 

Jared Easley: First is the root of the issue, your former best friend 

Nikki Rae: she was definitely a root of a lot of people's issues.

No, I hope she's doing well, but 

Jared Easley: yeah. Yeah. Let the record reflect naming names here. Yeah. We, we want good things for people. Yeah. But you can say it . 

Nikki Rae: Yeah. I mean, no shade, but she was a root of a lot of her own issues and a lot of other people's issues, but. Yeah, I think she's doing better now. [00:12:00] Word on the street is 

Ms. Christine: the word on that word?

On 

Jared Easley: the street? The word on the street. Yeah. I love that. That's pretty funny. OK. So, um, yeah. So you mentioned something that, that I, I do wanna go back to. So living off the land, what, what are some examples of living off the land? What does that mean to you? 

Nikki Rae: Oh gosh, it's just a, a funny kind of saying I have.

I'm kind of the black sheet of my family. Like I'm very outgoing and spontaneous, but not your didn't do the traditional Mexican style household activities. Like, you know, go to high school, go to college, get married, have a bunch of babies. Like I didn't do that. And so everyone just tells me all the time, like I live off the land and wherever I lay my head is home.

And it's just like a big family joke all the time. And I, I really do though. I just, I love to travel. I really haven't had an actual lease in five years. I've had my own apartment, but it was a, a verbal lease, not a real one and this year. Oh, wow. I have a real lease that I signed and I [00:13:00] have a dog, so my dog helps me be a little bit more grounded.

Yay. But other than that, yeah, the past four years I've. Worked and traveled and was able to travel through work too. Mm-hmm and I just kind of had a home base. I had an apartment, but it was a verbal lease. I didn't have to sign anything or show proof of anything. And as long as I paid my rent on time, my landlord did not care if I was there or not.

So just kind of go with the wind type of, and ultimately my goal would be to like, if I could just have a van and travel the world with my dog, that'd 

Jared Easley: be. There's this really amazing picture of your, uh, on your Instagram of you and your dog. I believe it's your dog. It's it's at the beach. Oh yeah, we took and, and you're like staring lovingly into your dog face.

I have never, my dog's looking back at you and, uh, it's, it's a sweet photo. 

Nikki Rae: It was such a, a moment. I so glad I captured it. I was trying to get a video of us. And so I set like my, you know, timer thing and it caught that and I was like, oh my God, it's my heart. I've never had a dog. It's my first dog. I didn't [00:14:00] think I was even capable of this much love.

Like, it is amazing. She's the best dog ever. 

Jared Easley: And your dog was real, really sweet by the way. 

Nikki Rae: Thank you. She is. She's too sweet. She has no loyalty to me. Fair enough. None. She loves people. She would literally go home with anybody the worst. 

Ms. Christine: What are, what are some of your best travel stories? 

Nikki Rae: Those are good.

I've done a lot of solo traveling and a lot of group traveling. And I prefer to travel by myself. Usually I have really crazy stories. I, I went to Dubai with like a group of 14 people and this one house, and it was like, honestly, a reality TV show. We were there for seven days. And there's 14 of us sharing one big house.

So of course there's like drama and scandal and coupled breaking up. And my ex ended up being on the trip. And I didn't know, it was very, uh, very scandalous, but it was a lot of fun. So that's probably one of my craziest stories is. Bunking it in Dubai with a bunch [00:15:00] of, I only knew three, three or four of the 14 people that were there.

And one of them accidentally was my ex-boyfriend. So how did, how did that 

Ms. Christine: 14 people's like, what was it? The MTV's the real world? Like, it was like, 

Nikki Rae: that's really, that is really what happened. We sh apparently we shared a mutual friend and, uh, that friend lives in California and he had a bunch of other friends all over.

Some people were from like Carolina, Michigan, Florida. And then there was me from Texas, obviously my ex-boyfriend from Texas and it was in the group chat that we're all like, you know, all of us are making plans and I'm like, man, I 

Ms. Christine: know this number so weird. You didn't even have the number saved anymore.

That's awesome. 

Nikki Rae: Girl was blocked. We were

Ms. Christine: S[00:16:00] 

Jared Easley: that's a, I guess, uh, an interesting transition because you have, uh, some topics on your podcast that deal. With dating with relationships, uh, you've even offered helping others with that. Is that something that you do just, uh, because, or is that like a business type thing? Tell me about. 

Nikki Rae: It's um, so I did get my coaching certification.

I have my degree background in psychology, so it is something I am pursuing. I can't say like I have a million clients waiting and knocking on my door, but I started it in November and I've had three clients so far that I've helped. And when I say relationship, coach, I don't necessarily just mean, you know, whatever partner or spouse you have.

I also mean the relationship that you have with yourself. So two of my three clients were actually going through breakups and I kind of helped mend the relationship they had with themselves and learn how to love themselves again. And I really enjoy it and I love to see people just blossom the aha moment [00:17:00] when it's like, oh shoot, I deserve better and I can do better.

And then they just like flourish, you know? So I really enjoy that something I like to do. And I do incorporate it a lot of those into my episode, just like, you know, small story times and tips and tricks. 

Jared Easley: Well, okay, so, so you can't stop there. Let's just follow up on that. So what, what are some tips and tricks just 

Nikki Rae: about when, if you're gonna be focusing on dating?

Like that's I think a lot, not on the DMS. Oh my God. I get that all the time. I get that all the time. You know, what's so crazy. My family thought I was gay for a very long time, because I didn't date, I don't date. They just all assumed that I must like women because I never dated a guy. And then, you know, last year during COVID, I decided to try dating and it was like the worst.

Yeah, I did. I talked to, I think that was 2018. I finally got a boyfriend and everybody was like, oh my God, you got a boyfriend. I was like, yeah. And that didn't last very [00:18:00] long. Oh Lord. 

Jared Easley: Okay. I was, uh, About to ask you for your phone number. I'm not gonna include that question. No, not DMS. OK. that's I, I'm having a lot of fun with this, obviously this, this is a good time, but I'm curious because you know, I'm a family guy.

When I see someone that I love in my, my family, uh, whether it's, you know, a sibling or it's. Cousin or something like that. And they're, you know, having fun and they're single, like, you know, I might ask 'em that question, like, Hey, when you gonna settle down, you know, did you get that a lot? What, what are you that person?

Yeah. What, what does your family say to you and then how do you, yeah, 

Nikki Rae: so I love being single. I do, and I incorporate that a lot into like my podcast and the people I help. Like you need time alone. You need the time alone to be single and free. What you do with that time should definitely be productive and, you know, working towards a better version of yourself.

Like you don't be single and do all the bad things. You can be wild and free without it being very [00:19:00] self-destructive, you know? Yeah. 

Jared Easley: She, she really isn't that person, huh? Oh, my interesting, the 

Nikki Rae: self-dtructive thing, like define bad. 

Jared Easley: I really appreciate you saying not to do all the bad things. And I hope that a certain co-host of mine is listening.

I 

Ms. Christine: do not do anything, but I dunno what I have no idea what you're talking about. This is an angel, good Christian child hair. 

Jared Easley: Christine is, uh, is known to let her hair down on occasion. Oh, I'm crying. And, uh, and, and what are they say in this south? Bless your heart. Yeah. Bless 

Ms. Christine: your heart. we're gonna get to some paranormal activity.

Can you share some of your best. Best ghost stories with us. Mm-hmm ghost story. 

Nikki Rae: OK. I do believe in, in stuff like that, I do believe in spirits and ghosts and, and energies. So I'm kinda a, a supernatural nerd when it comes to that stuff. And you know what, I'm trying to think. We have a, there's gotta be a good one.

We have a funeral museum in my family [00:20:00] and it sounds crazy, you know, everyone's like, what do you mean? And it's, it's a museum that kind of just goes over the process of, of dying and idolizes, certain other individuals that die. Like the Pope. We have a reenactment of that thing. It's a bunch of death basically.

And every Halloween. They shut the museum down and you're able to spend the night there and it gets really spooky. And I wasn't allowed to do it until a couple years ago. Cause my mom, you know, she's very Mexican and she's like, no, Miha you don't do that type of stuff. I'm the person in the scary movie that like runs towards the noise.

Cause I have to know where it came from, what it's doing and I'm that curious? So it gets really spooky. Like you can hear. Kind of like the, the scratching noises. And of course, maybe everything has a, a reason. Maybe it's the AC or the old building, but just to be in a group of, of people we all like slumber and sleep over and tell creepy ghost stories.

And I swear, I saw, I swear, I saw ghost one day I turned around in this. Figure [00:21:00] was just like in the hallway. And I described him to, uh, one of my friends and her name was Lisa. And she was like, that's my grandpa. And I was like, well, your grandpa is dead. And she was like, yeah, he died years ago. And I was like, that is the weirdest thing.

And she even called her dad and was like, she just saw this person and he had this hat on and this color tie, and I don't know, it could have just been. A crazy dream on my mind playing tricks on me. And maybe I saw a picture of her grandpa when I picked her up and it just stayed in my head. Like there could be a logical reason for it, but oh, 

Ms. Christine: wow.

Jared Easley: Wow. Okay. So we have a, uh, organized chaos slash star of the doubts podcast. Meet up at your parents museum. Like, like I spend the night thing. Like I think that, that that's so creepy. I wanna do it. Bring out 

Ms. Christine: the EDI board. Just go all 

Jared Easley: way. Well, not gonna do that. Yeah. I stay away from those. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna pass on that part, but, uh, yeah, I've, I've seen too many movies.

Oh, yeah, 

Nikki Rae: we can. [00:22:00] I was just there today picking up some stuff. Wow. 

Jared Easley: We, that, that is, uh, I don't know what expected that is, especially on holidays. Okay. So, so summertime is a most girl there. Some not all, no, not, but there some that are listening and there might even be certain hosts here too far, too. And, uh, you know, let's just talk about fad diets, summer Bo things.

Let, let's hear your take on those, uh, those types of topics. Cause I know, uh, that doesn't seem to be a problem for you, but, uh, you've certainly been helpful with your listeners on that. So let's hear your take on, uh, summer and, and just being, looking good and being healthy, 

Nikki Rae: a healthy hot girl summer I like it.

I like the way that sounds healthy. Hot girl summer. Yeah. I'm not a fan of, of the, the diet mm-hmm and. I don't necess say I have a diet, I have a bad springtime let's get into shape and they'll do the juicing or a low carve diet. Or I'm not saying that these things don't work, but they only work as long as you put in the work.

So they do these like, uh, 30 day challenges and they'll lose seven pounds and feel [00:23:00] good. And then the 30 days is over. Right. And they're like, okay, back to back to normal, like I did that challenge, but the whole point of the challenge is to turn it into a habit, into a lifestyle change. Not just this thing.

You do seasonally. So I think that's the biggest thing is start with really small, right. Habit changes, not these like crash course diets where you're juicing for seven days. If your body's deteriorating, like that's not healthy, it causes shock in your body. And most of the time when you quit those things, your body's in such a, it's been so deprived of so many things.

So when you do consume them again, it actually holds more. Fad more carbs. Like, you know what I mean? Cause it, it was basically starved for 30 days. So then when you'd go and have that celebratory beer and pizza, it's just like, your body will clean to it. Yeah. Cause it's like, oh my God, I haven't had this in so long.

So it's, it's small habit changes that you can start at any time. You don't have to start it before summer for new year's resolution, you could literally get up tomorrow and say, I'm not gonna have that Starbucks with a million grams of sugar in it. I'm gonna, [00:24:00] I don't know, get a juice or smoothie. And then eventually.

Make sure you do it every day and then it'll turn 

Ms. Christine: into a lifestyle. Now,

can you tell us who is doing something that, uh, interests you? 

Nikki Rae: Actually, my cousin is doing something that I'm interested in right now. She's. Becoming her own business woman and entrepreneur too. So I'm always interested in what she's doing and keeping up with her and what her endeavors are lately. And she's obviously a personal person when it comes to a celebrity or something.

And she has her little home business and she helps a lot of mostly use much of [00:25:00] like young adults get into shape and create healthy habits.

And. She does the, the coaching as well. Like the self affirmation, the small daily habit gets these people in a journal. She's really good at it. So I'm always interested in her outcome when she meets a person versus like when she sets them free and their whole life is better. Yeah.

Nikki Rae: So I have my organized chaos podcast and then I also.

And then they can just shoot me a message and share information and we'll get started with whatever they're going through.

And I've had some people slide in my, for the right reasons. ,

Ms. Christine: Now, Nick, besides keeping your items in your front [00:27:00] pockets, do you have any final thoughts for the 

listeners? 

Nikki Rae: My final thoughts for the listeners is to go listen to me on my podcast. Say that. Yeah, no, I think, I think I humble Bragg, big humble brag, but I just wanna help people meet their potential of happiness, like to max out on the level of happiness that they can find in life and not be content with life.

I find so many people are. Settling for less. And I don't even know it because they've never had the opportunity to realize that there's more out there, not just tangible things, but I mean like internal things and how much happier you could be with yourself. If you just don't find fear as a factor, well 

Jared Easley: said, uh, well, Christine and I had an absolute blast chatting with you.
