When Gabby Windey made her reality television debut on the Bachelor franchise back in 2022, she quickly became a fan favorite due to her honesty, vulnerability, and impeccable comedic timing. Since then, the former ICU nurse and NFL cheerleader has competed on Dancing with the Stars, launched a podcast called Long Winded, and amassed a huge social media following. On this episode, Gabby gets into how she continues to learn to advocate for herself, whether it’s at work, on reality TV, or at the nail salon.

Rupi Kaur on being “soft and powerful”

Welcome to&nbsp;Nice Talk,&nbsp;hosted by&nbsp;Marie Claire&nbsp;Editor in Chief Nikki Ogunnaike. Each week, Nikki will sit down with fascinating women—entertainers, entrepreneurs, creators, athletes, and changemakers—to discuss money, power, and style. “Well-behaved” women have long been discouraged from speaking on these topics—style should be effortless, and conversations about money or power aren’t “proper,” “ladylike,” or “nice.” But&nbsp;Nikki’s&nbsp;definition of a Nice Talk is one where all parties walk away feeling empowered. Nikki’s guests are getting candid about how they navigated their come-ups, what makes them feel both powerful and powerless, and of course, how they use personal style to communicate with the world.
