An unexpected delivery at 23 weeks turned Martha Sharkey into a NICU parent overnight when her identical twin daughters were born far too soon. What followed was a journey through extreme prematurity, devastating loss, and the long road of uncertainty that reshaped her family forever.<br /><br />In this deeply moving episode, Martha shares key takeaways from their NICU journey and from building Today Is a Good Day, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting NICU families. This conversation reflects on twins, grief, resilience, and how lived experience can grow into a mission to ensure not one single NICU parent walks alone.<br /><br />Dr. Brown’s Medical: <a href="https://www.drbrownsmedical.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.drbrownsmedical.com</a>  <br /><br />The Infant-Driven Feeding™ (IDF) Program: <a href="https://www.infantdrivenfeeding.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.infantdrivenfeeding.com/</a> <br /><br />Solly Baby: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shop/<br /><br />Our NICU Roadmap: A Comprehensive NICU Journal: <a href="https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicujournal/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicujournal/</a>  <br /><br />NICU Mama Hats: <a href="https://empoweringnicuparents.com/hats/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://empoweringnicuparents.com/hats/</a>  <br /><br />NICU Milestone Cards: <a href="https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicuproducts/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicuproducts/</a>  <br /><br />Newborn Holiday Cards: <a href="https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shop/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shop/</a>  <br /><br />Empowering NICU Parents Show Notes: <a href="https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shownotes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shownotes/</a>  <br /><br />Episode 78 Show Notes: <a href="https://empoweringnicuparents.com/episode71" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://empoweringnicuparents.com/episode78</a>  <br /><br />Empowering NICU Parents Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/empoweringnicuparents/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/empoweringnicuparents/</a>  <br /><br />Empowering NICU Parents FB Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringnicuparents" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringnicuparents</a>  <br /><br />Pinterest Page: <a href="https://pin.it/36MJjmH" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://pin.it/36MJjmH</a><br /><br />Thank you for listening to the Empowering NICU Parents Podcast.
