WE ARE BACK!!! And what better way to kick off a new season of the Dear NICU Mama podcast than during NICU Awareness Month!
In this week's episode, Ashley and Aisha are joined by NICU mama, artist, and writer Savannah O'Malley as she shares the story of her twin boys, Lachlan and Lex.
Born at just 24 weeks and 5 days, Savannah's twins spent 101 days in the NICU navigating brain bleeds, heart complications, surgeries, and the many unexpected moments that come with extreme prematurity. Savannah vulnerably shares what it meant to live in survival mode, and how it wasn't until nearly two years after bringing her boys home that she began to fully process the grief and trauma of their journey.
Savannah also shares how writing and art became an important part of her healing, and eventually a way to bring hope to other NICU mothers. Her story is a beautiful reminder that there is no timeline for processing what you've walked through, and that you are deserving of the space, support, and permission to grieve.
We hope this episode reminds you that no matter where you are in your NICU journey, you are not alone. There is hope in tomorrow, and there is a community of NICU mamas walking beside you every step of the way!
