This week on the Ask a NICU Mama Podcast, host Ashley O’Neil is joined by Isabelle Neza, who shares her journey through pregnancy, the unexpected premature birth of her son at just 23 weeks, and the challenges her family faced throughout their NICU experience. She opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of life in the NICU and the lessons she learned while navigating the complexities of neonatal care.

But Isabelle’s story doesn’t end when her NICU journey does. Her experience inspired her to launch Preemie Global Impact, a nonprofit focused on supporting families in underserved countries who are facing similar challenges.

Our conversation is a powerful reminder of the importance of community, advocacy, celebrating the small victories, and finding purpose in the experiences that change us.

So, whether you’re a NICU parent, a healthcare professional, an advocate, or simply someone who wants to better understand the NICU journey, I hope this conversation reminds you that even in the hardest moments, you are not alone.
