In this episode, we're joined by recording artist, content creator, business owner and mum of two sets of twins, Joey Djia.
After being told she may struggle to conceive, Joey was shocked to discover she was pregnant with twins. After navigating pregnancy, birth and life with her first set, she fell pregnant again... and heard the words she never expected:
"It's twins." Again.
Joey shares the incredible story behind raising four children under three, the grief of never experiencing a singleton pregnancy, two deeply traumatic twin births, and the routines and mindset that helped her through it all.
We chat about:
- Finding out you’re having twins... twice
- The shock of a second twin pregnancy
- Grieving the singleton experience
- Birth trauma and being separated from her babies
- Raising four young children and making routines work
- Why routine became her biggest survival tool
- The beautiful parts of raising two sets of twins that no one talks about
