Ariana Madix: Empowering AF

It’s a big week for the Bonita Army, and there’s a lot to be thankful for! This week, two BIG episodes of The Nikki & Brie Show are dropping on your podcast feed, featuring conversations with two very amazing, very different women. For today’s special Monday drop, Nikki & Brie welcome Ariana Madix from Vanderpump Rules on Bravo. After a difficult start to 2023, she’s on top of the Dancing with the Stars leaderboard, launching a new cocktail book, opening up a restaurant, and not letting anyone clip her wings. The conversation kicks off with he very unusual way that Ariana learned she’d be joining the season 32 cast of DWTS and why she had to tone down her immediate reaction. She also dives into her love of Britney Spears and why she’s so excited to dance the Rumba to “Cruel Summer” when she and Pasha hit the ballroom this Tuesday for Taylor Swift Night on Dancing with the Stars! And when you tune into Taylor Swift Night this week, look for Nikki in the audience! Nikki & Brie also talk to Ariana about her mindset when it comes to competition, becoming friends with the cast of the show, the support she’s receiving from her friends, and the shocking pre-show routines that make her a little nervous before the cameras go live Tuesday nights on ABC, something Nikki certainly has some experience with. Ariana’s also taking the world by storm as guest host on Love Island Games (one of Nikki’s favorites), a restaurateur and gives Nikki & Brie an update on the status of Something About Her, the sandwich shop she’s opening up with her Vanderpump Rules costar Katie Maloney in West Hollywood. There’s also an in-depth conversation about her new cocktail book, Single AF Cocktails: Drinks For Bad Bitches! Ariana’s also taking this time to spread her wings, learning to lean on her friends and family, and navigating her way through a difficult time to learn to love herself, her own body, and her independence after a time when her personal life made a lot of headlines and some sage advice for anyone else that’s going through a breakup. To close out the conversation, Ariana shares what she’s grateful for as Thanksgiving approaches, and we’re grateful that Ariana joined Nikki & Brie this week on the podcast! Follow Ariana on InstagramGet Ariana’s new book, Single AF Cocktails: Drinks For Bad Bitches Call Nikki & Brie at 833-GARCIA2 and leave a voicemail!Follow Nikki & Brie on Instagram and send Nikki & Brie a message on Threads!To watch exclusive videos of this week’s episode, follow The Nikki & Brie Show on YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok!
