Unscripted Turbulence with Raegan Medgie
The most courageous thing you can do is reinvent yourself. This is where those stories live.
After 20 years, Emmy Awards, and a career built on talent and grit, Raegan Medgie realized the industry wasn't going to elevate her - so she elevated herself. What came next was Unscripted Turbulence - a podcast about reinvention, resilience, and the moments that force us to rethink who we are and what we truly want.
Through raw conversations and real storytelling, Raegan explores the full arc of change: the before, the during, the rebuilding, and what life looks like on the other side.
Career pivots. Identity shifts. Loss. Faith. Health. Love. The moments nobody sees coming - and the courage it takes to keep going anyway.
No shortcuts. No sanitized endings. Just real people who faced their turbulence and found something worth sharing on the other side.
Because the most courageous stories aren't the ones that go according to plan. They're the ones where someone dared to rewrite them.

What happens after you’re fired from your dream job?
Former Nashville morning news anchor Nikki Burdine joins me for a raw, honest conversation about losing her TV career — and why she now believes it was part of a bigger plan.
Two weeks after I left WABC, Nikki’s Instagram post announcing her departure crossed my feed in what felt like divine timing. I reached out. She responded. That one message turned into a friendship rooted in shared newsroom experiences, faith, and reinvention.
In this episode, we talk about:
• The day she was fired — and what no one prepares you for
• The emotional spiral that follows job loss
• Rewiring “fired” into “favored”
• Her new social media series, Fired Girl Chronicles
• Transitioning from morning anchor to content creator
• The untold realities of TV news culture
• Living and working in television with Tourette Syndrome
• Finding faith when your identity feels shaken
If you’ve ever been laid off, pushed out, or forced into a pivot you didn’t choose — this conversation will resonate deeply.
Sometimes what feels like rejection is redirection.
And sometimes getting fired is the push toward your true calling.
