Three sisters. One childhood. Three very different lives.
We grew up poor, became moms, survived relationships, made questionable decisions, started over more than once, and somehow lived to laugh about it. Now we’re sitting down together to tell the stories we remember, the ones we remember completely differently, and the things we never talked about. Some are heartbreaking. Some are hilarious. Most make us wonder how we got here.

Ep. 9 | Finding the Happy in the Middle of the Mess
Life is messy. Plans fall apart. Things change. And sometimes you’re just trying to figure out what the heck you’re doing.
But does life have to be perfect before you can be happy?
This week, Nicole, Ami, and Heather are talking about finding joy when life looks nothing like you expected.
From starting over and navigating anxiety to learning to put yourself first, letting go of what you can’t control, and trusting God through the uncertainty, we’re sharing where we are, what we’re learning, and how we’re finding our own versions of happy.
We’re not experts. We definitely don’t have it all figured out. We’re just three sisters learning that happiness isn’t necessarily something waiting for us on the other side of the hard stuff.
Sometimes you have to find it right smack in the middle of the mess.

No friends over. Limited sleepovers. No sports. No extracurriculars. And you better be home when that school bus arrives! 😳

Sibling Crimes: The Sh!t We Did to Each Other | Ep. 3
Sibling crimes have officially entered the chat. 😂
In Episode 3 of Same Mama, Different Trauma, Nicole, Ami, and Heather are digging into The Sh!t We Did to Each Other — the pranks, fights, revenge, tattling, torment, and completely unhinged things that somehow counted as normal sibling behavior in our house.
We survived the same childhood… but apparently we were also part of the problem. 🤷♀️
From memories we still laugh about to crimes that may require a formal apology 30+ years later, we're comparing stories and finding out who remembers what — and who was actually the worst sister.
If you grew up with siblings in the 80s or 90s, this episode might unlock a few memories of your own. 😂

If These Walls Could Talk: The Houses That Raised Us
Same sisters. Different houses. A whole lot of memories.
In Episode 2 of Same Mama, Different Trauma, we’re going back through the places that made up our childhood—starting with the homes Nicole remembers from before Ami and Heather were even around and working our way through the years until Heather was the last sister left at home.
From Granny’s house to the yellow/orange trailer, the house with the “haunted” basement, Up the Nile, and everything in between, each house holds a different chapter of our story.
And because we were different ages in every one of them, what one sister remembers clearly might be something another barely remembers at all.
Different homes. Different chapters. Same childhood.

Welcome to Same Mama, Different Trauma
Three sisters. One childhood. Turns out… that wasn’t normal.
Welcome to the very first episode of Same Mama, Different Trauma!
We’re Nicole, Ami, and Heather—three sisters, four years apart, who grew up in the same family but experienced our childhood from three very different perspectives.
In this episode, we’re starting at the beginning. We talk about who we are, our family dynamic, losing our dad when we were young, being raised by our mom, and what it was like growing up as three sisters who weren’t exactly close at the time. We also get into how those childhood experiences followed us into adulthood—and how, somewhere along the way, the three of us became closer than ever.
There will be laughter. There will be uncomfortable memories. There will probably be some wildly different versions of the same story.
And this is only the beginning.
