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.

"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.
