After five years at Sweet 98.5, Nikki is stepping back from Nikki & Spicoli Mornings.

Read Nikki’s letter to listeners.

Hey, hi, hello.

I didn’t expect to be writing this right now. Honestly, it’s a bit surreal.

I’ve always valued and appreciated the transparency, honesty, and authenticity in our relationship (what’s the point if we’re not real-real, ya know?) and it’d be a huge disservice to you, me, this show, and the last five years of our lives if I stopped now.

Next Friday, Dec. 15 is my last day hanging out with you from 5-10 a.m. on Nikki & Spicoli Mornings.

First, thank you for sharing your life with me. You know I always say, “Time is a construct,” and, yeah, it is, but it is the most important thing we have. And, we’ve shared a whoooooole lot of life in five years.

We went through some seriously tough stuff together: deaths, ends of relationships, a global pandemic… but also the best, most beautiful parts of life that brought so much joy. I’m grateful to have been here with you through all of it.

We often hear and receive messages saying, “Thank you, you get me through my morning.” Let’s face it, life is hard. I want you to know that goes both ways. One of the hardest parts of this job is the time it takes. That’s one of the biggest reasons I’m stepping back from a career I love, is to prioritize another job that I love and the most important one I have: the one at home.

I love radio. I love this station. I love this show. I’ll miss it all terribly, but I can’t miss these too-fast years of my kids being kids.

I’ll be listening and laughing and cheering for you all…from home. ❤️

Thank you for sharing your life with me.

Nikki
