    Aug 25 2025

And this time, the food for thought includes another new approach for job seekers, the fabulous health benefits of one of summer's best fruits, documentaries you should watch, and of course, some of the people (we think) you should know about.

    The ladies are back with their regular segments, focusing this week's episode on the importance of building community as a source of radical joy. Also, the co-hosts discuss joy itself as a survival tool. Nikki T is still a card-carrying NicOlandrian and you can expect an update on the latest, including when is the best time this week to shop for Costco gas.

Also, there is guaranteed to be at least one mention of NicOlandria as only Nikki T can be counted on to deliver.

  • Episode 31 - The Radical Joy of Dating Differently
    Jul 28 2025

    In this week's Episode 31 of We Are Out of Office, your co-hosts Nikki T and Jayne Allen keep the group chat virtual and delusional as usual, catching you up, bringing food for thought and food for your soul, all with a healthy double dose of laughs.

    The ladies are back with the usual segments, but with a supersized Health and Healing this time focused on dating differently. Actually, this episode is just a little different itself because both of the co-hosts decided to share deeply this week--as we all know by now that Nikki T is a card-carrying NicOlandrian. But the cultural moment caused by the couple delivers so much food for thought and has been inspiring a much needed conversation, particularly amongst black women about "dating differently" to get the soft love, soft life, romance that we desire.

    Also, this week, like every week, the ladies catch each other up on their life discoveries, what their "algorithm" has shown them, and their thoughts on the cultural happenings that we've all seen and desperately need to unpack. This is a politics-free episode and a safe space for healing, self discovery, and the personal pursuit of radical joy.
