When motherhood takes an unexpected turn, where do you find the strength to keep going?

In this emotional and powerful episode, host Jacqueline Baird sits down with Kath Hansen—a Brisbane mom of four, founder of the baby brand Bubba Cloud, and host of The Modern Mother Podcast. Kath opens up about her youngest son Odin’s rare congenital heart condition, months spent in the NICU, and the raw reality of parenting through trauma.

Together, Jacqueline and Kath explore what it means to mother through uncertainty, navigate grief, balance family life after medical challenges, and rediscover yourself amid the chaos. Their shared experiences of NICU life and loss offer comfort, courage, and community to any mom who’s ever felt alone in her journey.
