Birth doesn’t always go the way we imagine. In this episode, we reconnect with Kristen, Lindsay, and Annie as they share their honest and emotional NICU journeys — from fear and uncertainty to resilience, growth, and unexpected strength.

We talk about what it’s really like to have a baby in the NICU, how families cope with the emotional rollercoaster, and what it means to choose chaos — to choose love, courage, and connection in the middle of uncertainty.

Whether you’re currently in the NICU, have been there before, or love someone who is, this conversation is for you.

Resources mentioned:
 March of Dimes, Hand to Hold, Graham’s Foundation, and Postpartum Support International.

Subscribe to Choosing Chaos so you never miss stories of courage, choice, and the beautiful mess of motherhood.
