In this week’s episode, Ashley and Aisha are joined once again by their dear friend Carrie for the long-awaited part two of her family’s story. 

In part one, Carrie shared about her daughter Hattie’s unexpected NICU stay after being born full term. In this follow-up episode, Carrie opens up about life beyond the NICU: the years of waiting for the possibility of heart surgery, navigating the unknowns, and preparing Hattie for the big questions and procedures that lay ahead.

She vulnerably shares what it meant to parent through fear, the gift of therapy and community support, and the power of celebrating every small win along the way. Carrie also shares how her fierce advocacy helped ensure Hattie received life-saving care at just the right time, and how her family now carries a new sense of peace and gratitude on the other side of surgery!

As you listen to Carrie’s story, we hope it brings comfort and encouragement to any NICU or medical mama walking through seasons of waiting, advocating, or doing the “hard thing.” You and your baby are always, always right on time.
