Two Pounds, Twelve Ounces

RSV, Ambulances & Christmas Eve | Our Family's Story

When our baby got RSV just days before Christmas, everything changed. What started as a visit to the pediatrician quickly became an ambulance ride, a hospital transfer, and one of the most frightening experiences of our motherhood journey. In this episode, I share the story of the days leading up to Christmas Eve as our family faced uncertainty, fear, and the helpless feeling that comes when your child is sick and there is nothing you can do but trust, hope, and stay present. I talk about the emotional toll of being separated as a family, navigating the hospital, and the overwhelming relief of finally bringing our baby home on Christmas Eve. If you’ve ever sat beside a hospital bed, waited for answers, or carried the weight of loving a child through a difficult season, this episode is for you. You are not alone. With love, Yuri Trust Your Motherhood

Two Pounds, Twelve Ounces

In this deeply emotional episode, I share the story of my wife’s high-risk pregnancy, the unexpected day our daughter came early, and what it was like becoming NICU parents overnight. From emergency appointments and steroid shots… to hearing our tiny but powerful baby cry for the very first time at only two pounds, twelve ounces — this journey stretched us in ways I never expected. I open up about trying to stay strong while quietly falling apart inside, leaving the hospital without our baby, spending every day in the NICU, and the incredible ways love carried our family through it all. This episode is about fear, resilience, motherhood, partnership, and the strength that can grow inside a family during the hardest moments. And somehow… we all grew stronger together 💗

The Day We Met Our Rainbow 🌈 Baby

Episode 11 (Part 3)In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the day we finally met our rainbow baby after everything it took to bring her into this world. From induction, Pitocin, and hours of labor… to the fear of an emergency C-section and the overwhelming relief of finally hearing her first cries — this was one of the most intense, humbling, and beautiful experiences of my life. I share the reality of letting go of the birth I imagined, learning to surrender, and finding gratitude through every unexpected turn. After all the IVF injections, appointments, fear, hope, and waiting… she was finally here. This episode is for anyone who has walked through pregnancy, loss, fear, motherhood, or the unknown while still choosing hope. Sending you so much love

I Was Scared...But I Kept Going (Part 2)

In this episode, I share what came after loss… the waiting, the healing, and the decision to try again. From our second IVF transfer to the moment, we found out we were pregnant, this part of the journey was filled with both hope and fear. I open up about navigating a high-risk pregnancy, the physical and emotional challenges that came with it, and what it felt like to carry a baby while still holding everything we had already been through. Through it all, my wife and I continued to show up for each other — choosing strength, love, and intention every step of the way. And in the middle of it all, I was reminded how important community is… being surrounded by women who helped carry me in the moments I needed it most. And after everything… the day finally came when I would meet her. Thank you for holding space for this part of our story 🤍

The Path That Brought Us Here (Part 1)

In this episode, I share more of what it took for us to become mothers. From navigating a PCOS diagnosis to trying IUI and eventually moving into IVF — this part of our journey was filled with uncertainty, hope, and moments that asked more from us than we expected. My wife and I walked through it all together… supporting each other, holding each other, and learning what it meant to keep going even when things felt heavy. I also open up about a loss that is still a part of me, and something I carry with me in my motherhood today. This is part one of our story. Thank you for holding space for it 🤍
