My guest, Nadine, lost her beautiful son, George, in the NICU due to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a life-threatening gastrointestinal condition that primarily affects premature babies and can cause severe inflammation and tissue death in the intestines.

In this episode, Nadine shares her journey from the joy of discovering she was pregnant after a long battle with infertility to receiving a diagnosis of a short cervix that led to George's premature birth at 25 weeks. She opens up about her experience in the NICU, the challenges her family faced during George's hospitalization, and the difficult circumstances surrounding his passing.

Nadine also discusses the incredible work she is doing to raise awareness about NEC in honor of George's memory, and the steps she is taking to support other grieving families.

My guest, Ariana, has experienced four pregnancy losses, the most recent being an ectopic pregnancy. In this episode, she walks us through the circumstances surrounding her losses and how those experiences inspired her to advocate for policy changes in maternal care and pregnancy loss support, particularly for women of color. She also shares the story behind Timmari’s Touch, an incredible initiative named after her son, dedicated to supporting families in the immediate aftermath of pregnancy or infant loss.

My guest, Cecilia, lost her beautiful daughter, Amelia due to Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)—a birth injury caused by prolonged oxygen deprivation and reduced blood flow to the brain at birth.

In this episode, she shares the story of her loss following a relatively normal pregnancy, the bereavement support she received after she had Amelia, and how she continues to honor her daughter’s legacy through her work as a birth and postnatal doula.

I am so grateful to Cecilia for sharing such a deeply vulnerable part of her life with listeners, and for the incredible care she offers other mothers in honor of Amelia’s short, but very powerful life.
