Can't Call Your Mom with Nicole Weston – Détails, épisodes et analyse

You’re the strong one. The capable one. The one everyone comes to. And when your mom dies, you expect yourself to handle it. After all, you handle everything.

In this first guest episode of Can’t Call Your Mom, Nicole sits down with Nikki, a fellow mom, entrepreneur, and motherless daughter who navigated two devastating losses in back-to-back years—her mom to dementia in 2019, and her brother the following year. What emerged from that season was a reckoning with anger, identity, the raw logistics of death, the darkness she never saw coming, and ultimately, a slow and honest return to herself.

This conversation is raw, real, and full of the kind of moments that make you feel less alone at 2am.

• [03:15] The lesson Nikki’s mom gave her without knowing it: do things scared. How a fearless-looking woman was actually afraid of everything—and pushed through anyway.

• [07:45] Losing her mom AND her brother in back-to-back years—and what it means to be in survival mode before you’ve even started grieving.

• [10:00] The business of death: the U-Haul, the executor duties, the selling of her mom’s house—and why none of us are prepared for the logistics of loss.

• [13:20] The moment the anger hit: “Mom, you didn’t teach me how to grieve. You didn’t teach me how to do this part without you.”

• [18:30] How buying a horse became a return to herself—sitting in the field, a book in hand, six months to simply be sad.

• [24:50] The darkness nobody talks about: “I didn’t know I was capable of having dark thoughts… and that was terrifying to me.”

• [32:20] The identity crisis of the strong woman who judges herself for struggling. The self-judgment. The anger turned inward.

• [40:00] Why there is no timeline for grief—and what Nikki’s journey back to herself actually looked like (it took until 2025).

• [48:00] The moment her spark started coming back: glimmers, dark humor, and learning to use “nobody died today” as a barometer.

Some episodes ask big questions. This one just slows everything down.

Episode 2 of Can't Call Your Mom is a love note — to you, to your inner child, and to your mom. Nicole opens with something simple and profound: grief needs to be witnessed. Not fixed. Not rushed. Witnessed.

In this softer, more intimate episode, Nicole shares the healing practice of expression — why saying the things out loud, in a journal, in a voice note, or to a trusted witness, is one of the most powerful tools we have on this grief journey. She also does something deeply vulnerable: she calls her mom. She leaves her a voicemail — live, unscripted, from the heart — and invites you to do the same.

This episode is permission. Permission to slow down. To say the things you are still carrying. To let yourself be seen — not as someone who has it figured out, but as someone who loved deeply and is still loving through the loss.

• Why grief needs witnesses — not solutions — and how to ask for that from the people you trust

• The power of expression: journaling, voice notes, and verbally processing your grief as a tool for healing

• Nicole's story of standing in line at Life Labs alone during fertility testing — and the moment her mom's name was called

• The complicated experience of receiving signs from the other side — and why those moments can be both comforting and heartbreaking, especially in the early years

• Nicole's live, unscripted voicemail to her mom — raw, real, and full of love

• What it means to be a generational cycle breaker — and how grief is teaching her family to do love differently

• The invitation: what do you need to say to your mom that you haven't yet?

• The closing reminder: you are not failing. Your heart is healing.

"Grief doesn't need an audience — but it does get lighter when we witness it and hold it together. Those two powerful words: me too. I feel that. You're not alone in this. That's when healing happens." — Nicole Weston

If there are things you wish you could still say to your mom, Nicole invites you to say them anyway. Write them in a journal. Record a voice note in your notes app. Say them out loud in the car. Let the words exist somewhere — because sometimes the most healing thing we can do is say them, even now.

If you're open to sharing, send Nicole a voice note. She may read or play it in a future episode. Your words might be exactly what another woman needs to hear.

The day my mom died everything stopped, as it should. Today I am sharing the first part of this ever evolving journey of self love and how I am finding myself back through it all.

The grief, the pain, the suffering, the joy and the light, it comes down to permission to evolve.

My mission is to lead myself, my family and clients back to themselves through my work.

If you have been stuck in your manifestation, this might be the problem.

Ok so hear me out! I love being a spiritual badass and ‘surrendering’ BUT I think we can lose our power in the act of just surrendering it all to the Universe.

Today’s episode I want to share my thoughts on why I think the practice of ‘surrendering’ can be a form of gas lighting ourselves.

Today I am sharing why toxic positivity is really getting in the way of our manifestation abilities and how I resolved my deepest core wound “I’m unlovable” and utilized manifestation AND quantum healing to manifest my soulmate. 

So I deeply believe that we can’t continue to only practice positive thinking to  ‘manifest’ what we desire. I believe the industry has left out a very important step in manifestation. 

Life is a journey of both suffering and joy. The problem is no one really talks about how to navigate the suffering. We mostly suffer in silence. 

But why? I think the toxic positivity mindset is one we can SHIFT now. 

This can allow for more realness in relationships so we can have the supports in place for when life gets hard, because it will.

Law of attraction is key in manifestation. 

But do you know what else is essential to having what you want? 

The ability to hold all of what you desire, the chaos and the abundance. 

When you think about what you desire, how do you feel? 

Have you ever had a moment to even think about what you desire? 

Most moms in business can honestly say they haven’t ever thought about what they desire. 

Why? 

(Invisible load of motherhood)

I know, that was me too. 

Now, I have the capacity to hold it all and honour my deepest desires. 

This is what we are diving into on today's podcast.

Today I am sharing with you how and why I am bridging the gap between being a mom and a business owner.

As a business owner, entrepreneur, there are programs, groups and Masterminds you can join to be an entrepreneur. If you are also a mother, there are groups you can join to be a mom. I haven't found a space for women to be both. For me it’s bridging the gap and making a space for you to exist as you are in both business and motherhood because you are who you are.

I think that there's a lot of damage that has been done when we have to separate our values or separate certain sides of ourselves.

We leave a lot on the table when we can’t show up fully as we are.

I LOVE talking about boundaries so today I am opening up this conversation and inviting you to check out my upcoming program, Better Boundaries.

You may believe boundaries are the “walls” you created to keep yourself safe and secure from the negative relationships in your life. What if I told you boundaries are SO much more than that. My life transformed when I implemented boundaries. I was the girl who lived for others and it burned me out hard.

It’s been almost two years of pandemic life and it feels like it’s getting harder.

Why? I will break it down in today’s episode. I am sharing my experience and what I am struggling with at the moment and the importance of taking care of yourself during this time. Parenting in isolation is really hard and I think we as a community need to come together and connect.

The book I mention in this episode is “Burnout Unlocking the stress cycle” by Emily Nagoski PhD and Amelia Nagoski DMA.
