In this episode, we talk with Gabrielle Cols Azócar and Anjali
Smith, two preemies and NICU mamas who discuss how their early
motherhood experiences, challenges, and how they leverage their
spirituality to move from coping to service as they raise their
miraculous sons. Gabby and Anjali have created NICU
Family Collective, a support group from all over the United
States, passionate about helping NICU parents with the best
resources to care for NICU infants and their parents
(@nicufamiliescollective). In addition, Anjali currently
organizes self-care bags for parents/guardians of preemies intended
to remind them to take care of themselves so that they can show up
better for their babies and Gabby's experience has inspired her to
design a garment for babies that is both NICU appropriate and that
will bring color and light to baby and families while they're at
the NICU. It was so powerful talking to these two powerful
women! Their ability to transform and transmute
challenge into beauty will inspire every listener!
