Description

In this episode of Small Talk, Alec sits down with Nica Fabregas to talk about growing up in a faith-centered household, battling mental health struggles, and the courage it took to stand up for herself.


From letting go of a “safe” corporate path to pursuing content creation, Nica shares the real story behind her turning points — the quiet breakdowns, the family conversations, and the moments that defined her strength.


She opens up about how faith shaped her, why trusting your gut matters, and what it really feels like to build a life on your own terms when not everyone understands.


If you’ve ever felt torn between your family’s expectations and your own dreams, or wondered how to keep going through a mental health low, this episode will help you see that it’s possible to choose yourself and still find your way forward.
