To close out Season One, Andi sits down with NYC-based content creator and social media influencer Viveca Chow, whose warm, practical, and culture-rich content has helped thousands find joy in New York City without breaking the bank. Known for spotlighting cheap eats, free events, and authentic local gems, Viveca’s presence online feels like getting advice from a friend who just gets it.

In this episode, Andi and Viveca talk about the real work behind content creation, from staying true to your audience to knowing when it’s time to evolve. Viveca opens up about how she shifted from primarily food content to broader lifestyle storytelling—without losing her voice or her community. She shares what keeps her grounded, what inspires her, and how her transparency is just as much for herself as it is for her followers.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a T2M episode without a little love for her beloved pitbull, Mochi, or some laughs about what makes a great zombie apocalypse partner. (Spoiler: kindness, resourcefulness, and a mutual love for dumplings go a long way.)

This final episode is about evolution, altruism, and trusting your gut—online and off. It’s a reminder that social media can be a source of connection, joy, and, yes, a few well-deserved giggles.

Thank you for joining us this season. Stay tuned for Season Two—and until then, keep showing up, keep asking good questions, and keep listening.

In the second half of her conversation with Andi, Jasely Molina—LinkedIn Top Voice and proud Bronx native—returns with even more clarity, vulnerability, and purpose. This time, we go beyond the brand and into the heart of the woman behind the words.

Jasely opens up about the responsibility she carries in centering Black and Brown communities through her work, making sure the brands she partners with don’t bypass the difficult truths. She speaks candidly about self-doubt, impostor syndrome, and the ongoing practice of reminding herself to get back to center—a personal mantra that grounds her in both mission and self-worth.

From navigating difficult commenters online to protecting her voice without compromising her values, Jasely shows us what it means to lead with honesty and stay rooted in community. She isn’t here to tear anyone down—instead, she builds bridges with bold questions and softer strength.

This episode serves as a reminder that storytelling is more than just content—it’s about connection, courage, and care.

So when doubt creeps in, take a page from Jasely’s book: Ask the hard questions. Stay present. And always, get back to center.

Welcome to the very first episode of Talk 2 Me: The Art of Listening in NYC! Host Andrea—better known as Andi—kicks off the season with a thoughtful and grounding conversation featuring Nnamdi Oghedo, a Brooklyn-based writer, producer, and storyteller whose work explores identity, intimacy, and the tension between vulnerability and performance.

As the show’s inaugural guest, Nnamdi helps set the tone for what this podcast is all about: listening with care, leading with curiosity, and honoring the many ways people move through the world. Together, he and Andi reflect on what it means to create from a place of purpose, how he stays rooted in his values as he builds his career, and why intentional storytelling matters—especially in spaces that don’t always make room for nuance.

This episode opens with a simple but layered question—“How are you doing?”—and unfolds into a rich, expansive conversation about creative integrity, cultural context, and staying honest with yourself through it all.

Whether you’re a fellow creative or simply someone who values meaningful dialogue, Nnamdi’s insight offers a powerful reminder: the way we listen can shape the way we live.
