  • Gratitude

    I’m on day 116 of our NICU journey and potentially looking to be discharged within the week. I’m bracing myself for another ride on the emotional rollercoaster as we approach this next major milestone.

I found this podcast shortly afterwards and it has truly been a lifeline for me as I navigated our loss, our baby still in the NICU, and a toddler at... more

I feel seen, heard, and like I’ve been enveloped in a giant hug. The NICU can be an incredibly isolating experience and these women are in your cor... more
