Nicole Paggi is an actress whose career has spanned drama, sitcoms, and daytime television. Nicole began her journey just outside Austin, Texas, later training in both Los Angeles and New York while earning her degree in Business Administration and Marketing from Texas State University. She broke out early with roles on the Fox drama Pasadena, followed by her turn as Sydney Shanowski on the ABC comedy Hope & Faith, and later as Sara Crawford on the UPN sitcom One on One. Her career includes memorable appearances on shows such as CSI, Rizzoli & Isles, 90210, 9-1-1, and a recent stint stepping into the role of Maxie Jones on General Hospital.
In this episode, Nicole talks openly about navigating the unpredictable world of acting—how rejection has shaped her, how stepping away to focus on family shifted her perspective, and why life experience ultimately makes you a stronger, more grounded performer.
