I Don't Know How You Do It

Life In Technicolor Gray with Corey Corrigan


Listen Later

A mother's world is turned upside down when her daughter is born nine weeks early and sent to the NICU. Just when things seem to be stabilizing, a catastrophic birth defect is revealed. 

Meet Corey Corrigan, a remarkable mother whose journey through parenthood has been anything but ordinary. Tune in as two rare mamas talk about what it's like to raise a child with complex medical needs. You'll hear about:

  • How  you can adapt when your life takes a devastating turn
  • Whether toxic positivity is actually toxic
  • What you really mean when you say, "I can't do it"
  • Why you might feel isolated, even with people who are in your same situation
  • How to find a new measure of happiness
  • Why hearing things like, "you're a superhero," can actually make you feel like a failure
