A Medical Mom’s Story

Welcome to the latest episode of our Medical Moms of NICU podcast where we support moms worldwide, helping you navigate the medical system with ease. Today’s episode is hosted by Tanisha, a resilient and dedicated medical mom of a kidney warrior and cancer fighter, and a pandemic mom of two under two.

In this episode, Tanisha candidly discusses her strenuous journey as a medical mom, sharing her experiences of facing life-changing medical decisions, managing 24/7 medical care, and maneuvering challenges concerning multiple hospital admissions due to a multitude of health crises. From having a newborn baby in NICU to dealing with the aftermath of cancer, her accounts provide comfort and understanding to those dealing with similar circumstances.

While being completely immersed in one’s child's healthcare might seem necessary, Tanisha emphasizes the importance of nurturing oneself physically, mentally, and emotionally. She shares her personal process of realizing the criticality of self-care, eliminating mommy guilt, and understanding the boundaries of her role as a medical mom. Pulling from personal experience, she also shares tips for medical moms, highlighting the signs that might help them understand when a break from the hospital is possible.

Throughout her journey, Tanisha has turned her trials into tools by providing advice and resources for other medical moms, and in this episode, she encourages other moms to do the same. She ends with a call to action, asking moms to join the Facebook Medical Mom Unity Community to share their miracle stories and celebrate medical milestones together.

Join Tanisha in hearing more about her ongoing journey and the valuable insights gained through her experience in this episode as she takes a pause for the cause, encouraging all medical moms out there to refill their cup and understand their value.
