🎙️ Inside the NICU: What No One Tells Parents About Pediatric Care | Mama Mable’s Caregivers Podcast

When your baby enters the NICU, you’re thrown into a world of monitors, medical jargon, and sleepless nights. But what happens behind the scenes—and what don’t parents hear from doctors and nurses?

In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Julie, a master’s-prepared pediatric and neonatal nurse practitioner with over 30 years of frontline experience in NICUs across New York, Boston, and Rhode Island. From witnessing medical miracles to confronting the dark side of pharmaceutical influence, Julie shares the raw truth about what it’s really like inside neonatal intensive care.

She opens up about why she left Western medicine to pursue Traditional Chinese Medicine, what she’s learned from decades of caregiving, and how her experiences inspired her book A Parenting Revolution.

Whether you're a parent, caregiver, or simply seeking insight into the emotional reality of pediatric care—this conversation is for you.
