🎧 Bonus Episode: Unraveling

It's been one week since I hit publish on Episode Twelve.
One week since I said, "Season One is over."
And in that week — I've unraveled.

I thought finishing would feel like relief.
Like release.
But it hasn't.

It's felt like grief.
Like failure.
Like drowning.

Because it's the end, and still — no charges.
No arrest.
Nothing.

Thirty-two years later, and it feels like I failed her.
Like I am falling apart while the system shrugs.

This episode isn't planned. It isn't polished.
It's me trying to breathe.
To talk about what Season One did to me — and why I can't walk away.
Because this story isn't finished — and neither am I.

🎬 The Studio That Promised and Stalled

In February 2024, I signed with a production studio that said they believed in my mother's story.
They promised to build a pitch deck, to sell it to a network, to bring her case to television.

I waited. I trusted. I delivered everything they asked for.

Twenty months later — nothing.
No pitch. No sale. No cameras.
Just the same excuse on repeat:

"It's hard to sell a story that doesn't have an ending."

Let me be clear:
My mother doesn't have an ending because the people in charge refused to give her one.
That's not a creative problem. That's a justice problem.

I was gaslit and dragged along for nearly two years while my mother's story sat in storage.
But that ends soon.

In under 100 days, my contract expires.
When it does, her story comes back to me.

And when that happens — I will take it anywhere that will listen.
Filmmakers. Journalists. Documentary students. Networks.
Anyone willing to give her truth the screen time it deserves.

Because if they won't build it, I will.

🕯️ Final Words

This show was built from grief, drywall dust, and a daughter's refusal to accept silence.
It was recorded in panic and purpose.
It was made by hand, by heart, by sheer stubborn love.

Season One may be complete, but the fight is not.

Because silence is not peace.
Because failure is not the end.
Because I am still here.

My name is Nikki Wasilishin.
I am the daughter of a murdered woman.
And this — this is me Unraveling.
