*content warning: birth trauma, NICU experience, medical negligence*

When Shuly’s first baby was born and rushed to the NICU, she couldn’t walk. A nerve injury during delivery left her paralyzed and desperate for answers that didn’t come. Despite obvious signs that something was wrong, her concerns were brushed off again and again.

In this powerful episode, Shuly opens up about her experience with medical negligence, what it was like seeing her newborn connected to tubes while she could barely move, and how that moment shaped her trust in the healthcare system for years to come.

She also shares what healing has looked like: from learning to advocate for herself, to finding calm in nature, and discovering ways to release stress and emotion without letting them control her.

This episode is a reminder that strength isn’t about silence...it’s about using your voice, even when it shakes.
