It’s time for another Mamas Call In episode! Our call-in episodes are some of our favorites because they give us the chance to hear directly from YOU.

This month’s prompt was: “What words of hope would you offer to another NICU mama this Mother’s Day?”

From reminders that your feelings are valid, to encouragement that you are already an incredible mother right now, this episode is filled with the words so many of us NICU mamas need to hear heading into such a tender holiday. We also hold space for the complicated emotions that can come with Mother’s Day. The grief, the joy, the healing, the longing, the celebration—all of it belongs here.

Thank you to each of you who submitted reflections and voice memos for this episode. It is such a gift to hear your hearts and to remind one another that no NICU mama walks this journey alone!

Our next prompt is: “Tell us about a moment when you felt unexpected courage." To call in and share your heart, head to our form here. We’d love to hear from you!
