In this powerful and unflinching episode, Nikki reflects on the complicated, loving, and painful relationship she shared with her mother, Ann, a woman she describes as five feet of fury. Through stories filled with humor, tenderness, and truth, Nikki opens up about growing up in the shadow of trauma, navigating abuse, and learning as an adult to see her mother not only as a parent, but as a woman shaped by her own wounds.

This conversation explores what it means to grieve someone you loved deeply, even when the relationship was fractured, and how grace, understanding, and perspective can emerge long after loss. Nikki shares memories of her mother’s fierceness, kindness, contradictions, and unforgettable spirit, along with the heartbreak of realizing just how much her absence would change her life.

In this bonus clip from Echoes of Her: To Mom With Love, Andrea reflects on a mother who believed her children deserved to see beyond their immediate surroundings. From small sacrifices to life-changing opportunities, her love showed up in the experiences she made possible. What begins with laughter about travel and big dreams gently unfolds into an honest reflection on navigating life and parenthood without her. It is a tender reminder that even in grief, the lessons and love of our mothers continue to guide us.

When Andrea Cambron lost her mother, Linda Louise Durham, she didn't just lose a parent she lost her compass, her confidant, and her biggest champion. In this deeply moving conversation, Andrea opens up about navigating the raw, uncharted territory of life without her mom.

From the lessons Linda instilled to the complicated family dynamics that surfaced after her passing, Andrea shares the honest, messy reality of grief that many daughters face but few talk about openly. She reveals how she's learning to honor her mother's legacy while forging her own path forward, and why celebrating the women who shaped us matters more than ever.

If you've ever felt the weight of loss, struggled with family tension during grief, or wondered how to keep your mother's memory alive while moving forward, this episode is for you.

Oh and she's an Emmy winner too!
