In this episode, Ceci and Nikki reflect on the families that shaped them, the realities of motherhood, and the journeys of building their businesses. Ceci shares her experience growing up with 17 brothers and 16 sisters and raising a blended family of six, while Nikki talks about her own family and raising two children. The conversation takes a tender turn as Nikki opens up about losing her dad suddenly earlier this year and walking through her younger brother’s stage 4 cancer diagnosis and survival. Together, they talk about the ache of grief, the relief of survival, and how family, in all its heartbreak and beauty continues to shape the way they live and lead.
