Fatima Tomoum: Infertility, triplets at 26 weeks, and building a new life

Hi everyone, This week on Wine with Wita, I sat down with Fatima Tomoum, a woman whose story crosses countries, careers, and incredible challenges. Born in New York, raised in Brisbane, and now living in the UAE, Fatima built a stellar international career across Japan, China, France, the UK, India and beyond. But behind the success, she faced a deeply personal battle: ten rounds of IVF before welcoming her boy-boy-girl triplets, born at just 26 weeks. Fatima opens up about what it took to keep going, her strong faith, the importance of community, and the realities of raising three children who defied every prediction, while living far from home. This episode is an honest look at the highs and lows of chasing dreams, building a life across borders, and surviving the hardest seasons with courage and heart.What we talked about: ❤️‍🩹 The emotional cost of infertility and premature birth ❤️‍🩹 The hard realities of life in the NICU ❤️‍🩹 Starting again in a new country without a roadmap ❤️‍🩹 Why early intervention and advocacy change livesThis episode shows just how much strength it takes for families to keep moving forward, especially when the support they need isn’t always there.Lots of love, RitaP.S.
