Then, a viral video of New Year’s Eve in Paris reinforced that subject with Brie. Nikki found some old photos from a track meet, not taken on a smartphone, that brought her back to an experience that had a huge influence on her life in the moment it happened and now years later.

Fresh off the Season 32 Dancing with the Stars finale, Artem is on this show this week! He’s back in Napa with the Garcia Twins, and to celebrate, Nikki & Brie pop open a bottle of wine to get the party started! Artem opens up working with Charity Lawson, seeing tremendous growth from her on and off the dance floor, her hard work, their standout dances from the finale, and what kept them out of the top two. Nikki & Brie truly appreciated what Charity brought to the show, the impact of the Freestyle Dance, and the importance of celebrating the accomplishments of the entire cast instead of trying to put down dancers they were not rooting for. And while Artem was on the dance floor competing for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, Birdie, Nikki, Brie, and their mom were in the crowd talking it all. However, getting to LA was a wild experience for Brie, who was traveling with Birdie and Buddy, had to deal with delays, cancellations, reroutes, two airports, dogs, and ladders. Yes, ladders on the Tarmac! Nikki was certain that Artem and Charity would be in the top two at the end of the night and shares her thoughts on the performances and Artem gives his insight into the approach for the night, scoring, and audience expectations, his respect for the other contestants, and which pro Nikki and Brie want to see back on the dance floor next season! The day after the Dancing with the Stars finale, Artem, Matteo, Buddy, Birdie, Brie, Nikki, and their mom went to Disneyland for a magical day of family and fun.

This could be the start of a new family tradition, and The Garcia Twins are already talking about strategies for the next visit.

If you’re reading this, the finale of Dancing with the Stars season 32 was last night, and hopefully, Artem and Charity are celebrating a big win with the Len Goodman Mirrorball! Birdie, Nikki, Brie, and their mom were all in attendance to cheer Artem on in the finals, and we’ll have a finale recap soon! So, while they’re not ready to celebrate at this time, but Nikki has a bone to pick with a tabloid, and Brie opens up about her anxiety surrounding a business decision. It’s not often that you have a perfect week, so The Garcia Twins are ready to get on the mic and share what they worked through in the past seven days. Nikki has a problem with a tabloid that flat-out lied and painted Nikki, Brie, and someone they admire in a bad light, and then that tabloid took extreme measures to mute Nikki & Brie’s voices on the matter. It’s a prime example of a joke that was purposefully misconstrued to create clickbait. The Garcia Twins are here to set the record straight, call out the tabloid, and let their voices be heard! Then Brie reveals that after hearing what her anxiety was shouting at her, she decided not to move forward with a business deal because, after reflecting, she recognized that it wasn’t congruent with her philosophies, what she wants out of life, or how she wants to impact the world. So, she turned down a business deal and felt good about it. Nikki & Brie are ready to move past the static and embrace their truth and let the Beaver Moon reboot their mindset and release the thoughts that are holding them back. To close out the episode Nikki & Brie share an Inspiration & Affirmation from one of their favorites, Ralph Waldo Emerson, about connecting to dreams as motivation to live the life you want, and it’s okay if we all don’t have the same purpose.

They might not be certified experts, but they are passionate about identical twins, fraternal twins, and Twin Love! Brie is ready to commemorate her landmark birthday with something special: a tattoo! However, Nikki isn’t on the same page. Brie has been a little indecisive about what she’ll actually get, but she wants it to have a great deal of meaning for her, so she’s putting a lot of thought into it, and she’s pretty certain she knows what she’s going to get permanently inked on her body! Maybe. Going into 40, Nikki feels excited because it feels like New Year’s Eve for her, and she has a few career goals in mind. A lot has happened over the past 17 years since the world was introduced to them on national TV, while Brie has a few ideas of what 40 will bring to her life.
