#23 | Resources and Resilience: Navigating NICU Challenges | With Libby Cutkomp

Описание: GUEST:

Libby Cutkomp - Mama of Two

DESCRIPTION:

What happens when your birth takes a turn you never expected? In this episode, I’m joined by Libby Cutkomp, a mama who knows firsthand what it’s like to walk the halls of the NICU after her daughter’s premature birth.

Libby shares her story. The shock of early labor, the realities of having a baby in the NICU, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it. We talk about why it’s important to understand hospital NICU levels, how community and resources like Hand to Hold and Dear NICU Mama can make all the difference, and the ways therapy and support can help parents heal after a difficult birth.

This is an honest conversation about resilience, preparation, and the power of love. Whether you’re preparing for birth, supporting a NICU family, or simply want to hear an inspiring story of strength, this episode will leave you feeling encouraged and reminded that you are never alone.
