About this listen
This week on Radical Joy, we’re rolling out the red carpet for Nik Walker—a dynamo of stage, screen, and sincere self-reflection. From Hamilton to handling hard feelings, Nik gets real about mental health, humility, and the radical magic of admitting you don’t have it all figured out. (Spoiler: nobody does.)
🎭 Come for the Broadway cred, stay for the cartoon-deep wisdom and snack-fueled truth bombs. 🎢 ADHD, anxiety, and why being “a beautiful mess” beats faking perfection
🧠 “Can I defuse this bomb myself?” — how Nik tackles big feels before they tackle him
💬 Feedback without freakouts: “Don’t hear what I didn’t say” is the T-shirt we all need
🛠️ From venting to investigating—how to handle your own heaviness with heart
🌪️ What to do when you’re the eye of someone else’s emotional hurricane
🎭 Why Nik still feels like he “snuck in the back door” of Broadway—and how that’s a blessing
🧃 Rest, snacks, and naps that slap—Nik’s radical rejection of hustle culture
🥁 Punk rock curiosity + radical rest = the plot twist we didn’t know we needed
🌍 A hot take from the pale blue dot: life’s too big to sweat the small stuff alone
🪞 Putting down the ego (gently!) and picking up more grace—for yourself and your people
