In this episode, I sit down with Traci, a fellow twin mom whose story hits home for so many of us. From a complicated pregnancy and early delivery to the long, sleepless days of NICU life, Traci opens up about what it really felt like to raise twins when nothing went according to plan.

We talk about those moments when people’s “innocent” comments—about how hard it must be, or how they could never do it—end up feeding that quiet voice of self-doubt that so many twin parents carry. Traci shares how she learned to ask for help, even when it felt impossible, and why that simple act can be the difference between barely surviving and actually healing.

This conversation reminded me how easy it is to feel alone as a twin parent, especially when everyone around you is parenting one baby at a time. But it also reminded me how powerful it is when we tell the truth—about the guilt, the exhaustion, and the fierce love that keeps us going.

Whether you’re still in the trenches of the early years or figuring out how to let your twins grow into their independence, this episode is your reminder that self-doubt doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you care.
