Fine is easy. Real takes courage.
Because “I’m fine” is the biggest lie we tell ourselves.
Hosted by Pineapple Support therapist, Nicoletta Heidegger, Fuck Being Fine cuts through the polite answers and polished filters to talk about what’s really going on behind the scenes, in our minds, our work, and our lives.
Each episode dives into raw, unfiltered conversations with creators, therapists, and industry leaders who’ve stopped pretending and started healing. From burnout and boundaries to shame, success, and self-worth, these are the stories we usually hide, told with honesty, humor, and heart.
This isn’t self-help. It’s self-honesty.
Because fine isn’t enough anymore.

Episode 3 – Kasey Kei
No Orgy, Just Wine: Kasey Kei on Trans Identity, Financial Fears, and Living Stress-Free
Presented by: Nicoletta Heidegger
What does it look like to be deeply at peace and to have earned it the hard way? This month, Nicoletta sits down with Kasey Kei, trans performer, dinner party host, and newly re-converted reader, for a candid check-in using the SPIES framework.
Kasey gets real about being in her low libido era and loving it, what it means to be demisexual in an industry that assumes everyone wants more, and how hormones, identity, and individuality intersect in ways that can’t be neatly pinned down. She and Nicoletta dig into growing up as one of five kids with a single mother, moving from Japan to Florida with no money and a lot of otherness, and how poverty quietly shapes the way you think about financial security long after the struggle is over.
They also get into what the industry gets right for trans performers, where it still falls short on representation, and why being othered, as the Asian kid, the gay kid, and the trans woman eventually became a source of perspective and pride.
Episode 2 – Austin Fiascone
Head, Meet Wall: Austin Fiascone on Stubbornness, Smut, and His Emotional Support Human Duties
Presented by: Nicoletta Heidegger
Some people climb over the wall. Austin Fiascone just keeps banging his head against it until it falls down, and somehow that’s made him one of the most respected business minds in adult. This month, Nicoletta sits down with Austin (Chief Business Officer for SK Entertainment, Skinfluential Media, and Ascendant Digital) live from XBIZ, with his “emotional support” dog Vino on his lap, for a real conversation about surviving a brutal 2025, weekly therapy, and learning to take a breath before hitting the wall again.
They get into the “misfits and broken toys” who make up the adult industry, the headwinds of age verification, why innovate-or-die isn’t a slogan but a survival rule, and what eight years of a long relationship taught Austin about communication. Plus: Sunday homemade pasta (Vino gets his own bowl), and the pandemic days when his dog was “the reason I’m going outside.”
Episode 1 – Ana Foxx
Hibernation Mode: Ana Foxx on ADHD, Edging, and Being a Lone Tube Sock
Presented by: Nicoletta Heidegger
What does it look like to actually not be fine, and say so out loud? This month, host Nicoletta von Heidegger sits down with Ana Foxx (Playboy model, producer, Urban X POTY 2022, and APAC president) live from the XBIZ floor for a refreshingly honest check-in.
Using the SPIES framework (Spiritually, Physically, Intellectually, Emotionally, Sexually), Ana gets real about being in mental “hibernation mode,” feeling deeply loved through words of affirmation, and the sweet edge of waiting for someone you’re really into. She and Nicoletta dig into what it takes to set boundaries in an industry that runs on FOMO, the burnout she calls the “expo flu,” and why she had to learn the hard way that missing an event won’t end your career.
They also get into the loneliness of speaking up when the community doesn’t show up for you, why one tube sock is enough, how vulnerability becomes a pathway to arousal, and Ana’s very serious training for a 48-hour bubble bath Guinness World Record (current personal best: 16 hours, with oat milk, Lush bath bombs, and a full season of 90 Day Fiancé).
Whether you’re new to the industry or a seasoned creator, this one’s a permission slip to hibernate, communicate, and take the damn bath.
