She opens up about the power of support from family and professionals, especially in moments when space and presence meant everything.This conversation also explores the transition that comes after the NICU—the challenges of returning to work as a mother, learning to adapt to a new normal, and the ongoing process of healing, adjusting, and growing stronger in the aftermath.If you've ever faced a detour in your parenting journey or found yourself navigating an entirely different path than the one you planned, this episode is for you.Find Whit on Instagram: @whits🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell for more real, honest conversations about motherhood, self-development, and anything in between!
