Shit, Why Not?

Shit, Why Not? Episode 3: Ask Your Mom Some Questions

In Episode 3, things get personal. We sit down with Nichole's mom for an honest, layered conversation that dives into their relationship—past and present. They unpack the two-year period where they didn’t speak, what led to the disconnect, and what it actually took to find their way back to each other. It’s raw, reflective, and at times surprising, as her mom shares stories and truths Nichole has never heard before. This episode is about healing, perspective, and what becomes possible when both people are willing to show up differently. If you’ve ever navigated a complicated relationship with a parent, this one will hit home.

Shit, Why Not? Episode 2: Why are you the way that you are?

Prompted by a listener who clearly knew what they were doing, we crack open the question that explains… well, everything. Why are we like this? The confidence. The chaos. The coping mechanisms. The humor. The edge. The resilience. The questionable decisions that somehow turn into great stories. We go back to childhood — the family dynamics, the unspoken rules, the shenanigans of our parents (bless them), and the survival skills we picked up along the way. We unpack how two cousins can grow up in similar chaos and still turn out wildly different — and wildly similar. It’s funny, a little unhinged, occasionally tender, and surprisingly insightful. If you’ve ever looked at yourself mid-reaction and thought, “Ah. That tracks,” this one’s for you.
