When the Beginning Looks Different: The NICU Journey


Listen Later

Thanks for stopping by! We'd love to hear from you.

In this episode, we’re joined by Tami Gaines, author of Preemie Parents and mother of micro-preemie twins born at 25 weeks. Drawing from her lived experience navigating the NICU, Tami speaks to the emotional and spiritual journey of NICU parenthood—the parts that often go unspoken and can feel invisible amid medical updates and uncertainty. Together, we explore how parents and caregivers can find meaning, resilience, and growth during an experience they never planned for. Tami’s work has been featured in the New York Daily News, New Jersey News 12, and on dozens of podcasts and blogs, offering hope and connection to families walking the NICU path.
