In this deeply personal solo episode, Nole shares the recent, difficult experience of saying goodbye to his beloved family cat, Finn. An unexpected work call-up prevents Nole from being there, forcing him to rely on his wife, Heather, and his son, North, to handle the heart-wrenching task. This event becomes a powerful catalyst for reflection on a father's desire to shield his family from pain, the profound growth that happens when we let our loved ones carry heavy responsibilities, and the importance of choosing to show up for life's hardest moments.

Join Nole as he explores the bittersweet pride of watching his family's strength, the lessons learned through their grief, and the universal truth that our character is forged when we willingly walk into the hard rooms of life.
