✨TRIGGER WARNING - This episode is about the death of a child✨

In this powerful and deeply moving episode, I sit down with Nicola Marshall, a courageous mother who lost her beloved son Lucas in a tragic accident while on holiday in Spain in 2019. Just three days after his passing, Nicola faced the darkest moment of her life — a moment when she almost chose to end it all. But instead, she made the hardest decision of all: to stay, to feel, and to heal.

Through her journey of grief, Nicola not only faced the loss of Lucas but was also compelled to confront her own childhood trauma and the earlier loss of her brother. What has emerged from this unimaginable pain is a new version of Nicola — no longer the person she once was, but a shining light of colour, compassion, and hope for others walking the path of grief.

In this raw and honest conversation, Nicola cried, I cried — and you might cry too. But you’ll also witness resilience, love, and the extraordinary power of choosing life even when it feels impossible.

This is an episode about grief, healing, and finding a way to a new kind of pink in the aftermath of loss.
