Wave of Light: Finding Light After Loss
vendredi 10 octobre 2025 • Durée 36:50
The loss of a child changes everything — the world feels darker, and healing can feel impossible. But with time, love, and support, light begins to return. In this moving episode, Nicole sits down with her dear friend and fellow Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, Jamie Summers, whose journey through the loss of her daughter, Peyton, led her to help lift up other parents who have endured loss or are grieving — bringing light back into their eyes through her beautiful Wave of Light tribute.
What began as a simple act of remembrance for Peyton has blossomed into a radiant event that now honors more than 2,000 babies each year on Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. Together, Nicole and Jamie talk about the power of community, the beauty of hearing your baby’s name spoken aloud, and the ways we can all bring light to those walking through grief.
Whether you’ve experienced loss yourself or want to better understand how to support others, this episode will touch your heart and remind you that love continues — even after loss.

Culture, Belief, and a Committed Team: The University of Iowa NICU Redefines What’s Possible
mardi 30 septembre 2025 • Durée 50:18
The conversation explores what first inspired them to pursue neonatology, how the culture and belief within the walls of the NICU at the University of Iowa shape outcomes, and why their “small baby” program has become a model of consistency, teamwork, and hope. They reflect on the challenges Nash faced in his earliest days, the role of hemodynamics in guiding his care, and the profound meaning of seeing babies like Nash go home after months of critical illness.
This episode is a tribute not only to Nash and his courageous family but also to the dedicated NICU teams whose relentless commitment continues to redefine what’s possible for the tiniest and most fragile infants.

Forced Apart: A NICU Family’s Heartbreaking Reality
jeudi 30 janvier 2025 • Durée 59:41
When Jodie and Steve Marks welcomed their twin boys in March 2020, they never imagined that hospital restrictions and a devastating diagnosis would force them to make an unthinkable choice—which baby they would each "choose" to stay with. What should have been a time of hope, love, and bonding was instead filled with separation, impossible decisions, and heartbreaking loss. As the world shut down, they found themselves trapped by policies that prioritized rules over the very thing their son needed most—their presence. In this raw and emotional episode, Jodie shares her NICU journey, the pain of forced separation, and how she continues to carry the weight of those moments today. No parent should ever have to fight to be with their child. This is Henry’s story—a call for change. Listen now.
