概要

 In this week’s episode of We Are Out of Office, your co-hosts Veteran Television Executive Producer Nikki T and Bestselling Author Jayne Allen clock in with a rich, wide-ranging conversation about over-functioning, space exploration, cultural disappointment, Black excellence, hair journeys, and the healing power of choosing your own peace.The episode opens with the ladies doing what they do best: catching up like public girlfriends before finally turning on the microphones. Nikki is fully locked into the wonder of the Artemis II mission, celebrating the crew’s safe return from orbiting the moon and reflecting on what it means to see Earth from the outside. Jayne, meanwhile, arrives with a deeply relatable out-of-office reply: she is currently under-functioning because she got tired of over-functioning — a phrase that sets up one of the episode’s most resonant conversations.From there, the conversation moves through international dating, Black women in space, fasting and autophagy, Black-owned haircare, deepfake violations, burnout, boundaries, music, Mardi Gras Indian artistry, and the emotional labor of finally telling the truth to yourself.I See You GirlJayne’s I See You Girl goes to Nia Moore, the endlessly entertaining private flight attendant, foodie, and globe-trotting auntie who is documenting her international dating adventures with boldness, humor, and zero apology. From London to Barcelona to LA, Nehamore is trying different dating apps, inviting handsome men out on dates she plans herself, and showing what it looks like to create your own fun instead of waiting to be chosen. For Jayne, it’s both aspirational and refreshing — an example of a woman fully living.Nikki’s I See You Girl goes to Kiari Dools, the NASA exploration scientist and flight controller who became a Threads favorite during the Artemis II mission. As one of the Black women helping guide the mission from the ground, Kiari became a symbol of brilliance, representation, and modern-day hidden figures no more.What We’re On Right NowJayne is currently on autophagy — the body’s process of cellular cleanup and renewal — and specifically the role fasting can play in activating it. She shares her fascination with Fast Life Jay, who has been publicly documenting an extended fast and dramatic health transformation, and reflects on how that conversation intersects with her own wellness and body-composition journey.Nikki is currently on space exploration, and not casually. She is all the way in on Artemis II, from the astronauts’ reflections to the emotional symbolism of the mission to the generations of Black brilliance that made it possible. For Nikki, this mission was more than science — it was hope, perspective, humility, and a reminder that we are all riding this same fragile spaceship together.Mindin’ My Black BusinessJayne’s Mindin’ My Black Business goes to Camille Rose Naturals, the Black-founded natural haircare company still owned by its original founder, Janell Stephens. As Jayne continues her daily wash-and-go experiment and deepens her relationship with her hair, she spotlights the brand’s ingredient integrity, founder story, and commitment to natural formulations rooted in care.She also gives love to TGIN, another Black-founded haircare line with deep personal significance, as she reflects on the importance of supporting companies that remain rooted in their original mission and legacy.Nikki’s Mindin’ My Black Business spotlights the DualShot app, created by Derrick Downey Jr., which allows creators to record vertical and horizontal video at the same time. Born from Derrick’s own creative needs — and after many people first came to know him through his beloved squirrel content — the app is a smart, useful reminder that innovation often starts with solving your own problem first.Jesus Take the WheelNikki’s Jesus Take the Wheel comes out of Germany, where a television presenter and actress has alleged that for years, pornographic deepfakes, fake social profiles, and AI-generated voice impersonations of her were being spread online — and that the person behind it may have been her own husband. The story becomes a chilling meditation on digital abuse, humiliation as a fetishized form of control, and the terrifying reality that some of the chaos women experience may be coming from inside the house.The conversation then broadens into a larger reflection on insecurity, manipulation, and the unsettling emotional pattern of people harming the very person they are supposed to love.Health & HealingThis week’s Health & Healing centers on a powerful question:What happens when you stop over-functioning?Jayne opens up about realizing just how much of her life has been shaped by over-functioning — managing other people’s comfort, suppressing her own pain, dulling her honest reactions, and carrying emotional burdens that should never have been hers to hold. Triggered by a recent piece ...
