102: Becoming a Single Medical Mom w/ Tiffany Pasillas

When Tiffany’s husband filed for divorce, she was 32 weeks pregnant with their daughter Aiyana they weren’t sure would survive to birth because of her diagnosis of trisomy 18. In this episode, she shares what it was like to navigate the following year inpatient at the hospital, co-parenting with a man she had very mixed feelings about. She also talks about what it was like to be discharged from the hospital with two daughters to care for without a house or job to go home to, and the ways she’s whittled time for self-care when everything is on her shoulders alone.
