From Rollercoasters to Carousels Navigating Common NICU Emotions Part 2

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Gigi Khonyongwa-Fernandez, a NICU, bereaved, and special needs mother. Together, we unpack the intense emotional ride many NICU, bereaved, and special needs parents experience and imagine a gentler kind of journey. Gigi reminds us that you are not alone and you can choose the carousel – one emotion, one breath, one step at a time.
