Nicole: Navigating Birth Trauma, Child Loss, and the Healing Power of Storytelling
Apr 07, 2025 Season 4 Episode 20
Jennifer Lee/Nicole

Meet Nicole, a resilient mother who endured birth trauma in Germany and immediately faced the fight for her son Owen’s survival. Just seven days postpartum, she and her husband boarded a military C-17 for a high-risk medical transfer, navigating open-heart surgeries, life-threatening complications, and ICU stays. Through her story, Nicole highlights the power of advocacy, the need for safe spaces, and the healing that comes from being honestly heard.
