NICU PTSD, Postpartum Anxiety & Ambitious Mom Entrepreneurs with Paige Figueroa

<p>#40: In this episode, Jess sits down with twin mom, entrepreneur, and fellow podcaster, Paige Figueroa, to talk honestly about her pregnancy complications, her twins’ extended NICU stay, and the postpartum anxiety and NICU trauma she didn’t fully recognize until much later. Paige shares what it was like to navigate medical decisions for two babies, bring them home with feeding tubes, and slowly learn to trust her own instincts again. They also discuss the pressure many moms feel to hold it all together, the impact of sleep deprivation, the value of therapy, and the small self-love practices that can make a real difference.</p><p>KEY TAKEAWAYS</p><ul><li>Paige’s high-risk twin pregnancy and unexpected diagnosis</li><li>What an extended NICU stay can do to a parent’s nervous system</li><li>The emotional weight of caring for medically complex babies at home</li><li>Postpartum anxiety, NICU PTSD/trauma, and recognizing when support is needed</li><li>Learning to advocate for your children while trusting your own instincts</li><li>The impact of sleep deprivation and postpartum rage</li><li>Finding a therapist who understands the twin-parent experience</li><li>EFT tapping, self-love, and reframing the belief that you’re not doing enough</li><li>Paige’s work supporting moms who are building businesses alongside motherhood</li></ul><p>Twin Mom Life Community Membership is LIVE!
