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 trustThe power of expression: journaling, voice notes, and verbally processing your grief as a tool for healingNicole's story of standing in line at Life Labs alone during fertility testing — and the moment her mom's name was calledThe complicated experience of receiving signs from the other side — and why those moments can be both comforting and heartbreaking, especially in the early yearsNicole's live, unscripted voicemail to her mom — raw, real, and full of loveWhat it means to be a generational cycle breaker — and how grief is teaching her family to do love differentlyThe 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 WestonIf there are things you wish you could still say to your mom, Nicole invites you to say them anyway. Write them in a journal.
