Mostly Together
Mostly Together is a thoughtful, grounded podcast about identity, ambition, and life's pivots. Hosted by former TV news anchor Nicole Nalepa, it features candid conversations with creators, leaders, and culture-shapers — from household names to trailblazers making an impact. Together, they explore the questions that matter most: who are we becoming, how are we navigating change, and how to hold it all together without the pressure to be perfect.
