Episode 74 - Turning an Overwhelming Estate into a Family Story with Heather Nickerson
After her mother’s death, Heather Nickerson inherited 6,000 square feet of belongings—and spent nearly two years figuring out what to keep, sell, or pass on. One Tiffany vase left her crying because she didn’t know its story. That experience led her to create Artifcts, a privacy-focused platform for pairing possessions with memories, documents, and plans for who should receive them. In this episode, Nicole and Heather discuss the “stuff tsunami” facing families, why a story can make an unwanted object meaningful, and how a neon painting their children dislike may one day be destined for auction—not the curb.
