S9 E123: A Slow Exhale: Finding Purpose Through Special Needs Parenting ft. Valerie Rodriguez

NICU Babies Parent Support

Valerie Rodriguez wasn't planning on a lot of things: another pregnancy, multiples, a NICU stay or even having to say goodbye to one of her boys. In this episode she shares how she found her new normal, navigating grief, special needs and her evolving role as a mom and wife. Trigger warning: in this episode we talk about death and suicide.
