Two powerful stories of advocacy, determination, and success unfold as we sit with Jamisha and Chantel, two women navigating very different journeys with remarkable courage.

Jamisha takes us through her harrowing experience of delivering her daughter at just 30 weeks due to preeclampsia — a condition she knew nothing about before diagnosis. Her raw account of spending those first critical days separated from her newborn while learning her baby needed surgery for a tracheoesophageal fistula reveals the unique trauma NICU parents endure. With unflinching honesty, she describes transforming from an overwhelmed new mother into a fierce advocate, eventually securing specialized care at Boston Children's Hospital for her daughter who, at 15 months, is now thriving against all odds.

Meanwhile, Chantel shares her extraordinary journey from aspiring doctor to family nurse practitioner while raising her son as a single mother. Her story of enduring 22-hour days — attending classes, studying, working night shifts — all while battling "mom guilt" resonates deeply. Now running County Med in a medically underserved area, she emphasizes the critical importance of providers who truly listen to patients, especially in Black communities where health disparities persist.

The conversation then shifts to dating as single parents, exploring the delicate balance of career success, parenting responsibilities, and finding partners who enhance rather than complicate life. Both women offer wisdom on setting boundaries, recognizing red flags, and navigating the double standards single mothers face compared to fathers.

Through tears and laughter, this episode celebrates Black women's resilience in healthcare systems not designed for them, while offering practical wisdom on advocacy, professional growth, and maintaining personal standards against all odds.
