Ep. 248 | Turning Pain Into Purpose: Nicky Wake

Widow We Do Now?

In this episode, Anita and Mel sit down with widowed serial entrepreneur, event planner, and former naked podium dancer, Nicky Wake, whose journey through love, loss, addiction, and recovery inspired her to create dating platforms for overlooked communities. After losing her husband and battling alcoholism, Nicky embraced sobriety and launched Sober Love—a space for sober singles to connect without judgment. From building sites WidowsFire and the app Chapter 2 to her mission of creating “a million happy endings,” Nicky shares her raw, resilient story of turning personal pain into purpose.
