IVF to NICU in a Storm: Quad Life + Parenting Hacks w/Starlyn Cafferata

After years of infertility, Starlyn and Bill Cafferata (@caffsquad) finally saw two pink lines, except this time, there were four heartbeats. What followed was a wild ride through high-risk pregnancy, as specialist after specialist delivered conflicting information, survival odds, and gut-wrenching decisions. Somehow, Starlyn carried all four babies, Lennon, Enzo, Francesca, and Stella, through the chaos, uncertainty, and exhaustion.

Then came the next twist: just weeks after their NICU journey, a historic Texas ice storm left them trapped at home with no power, four newborns, and a toddler. In this episode, Starlyn gets real about parenting five kids (including quadruplets!), managing marriage and mental health, and relying on the only thing that kept them afloat: a fierce, loving village of family and friends.

This is the story of what it takes to survive the unimaginable, with humor, honesty, and a village that showed up in every way possible. If you’ve been through infertility, IVF, NICU life, or just trying to keep it together as a parent, this one will hit home.
