Today is a Good Day: Harnessing Superpowers to Support Families

Join Martha and Paul Sharkey, Founders of Today is a Good Day , as they share the five key takeaways that every nurse and nurse practitioner can use to harness their unique superpowers when caring for families. Drawing from their deeply personal journey—including the premature births of their daughters Claire and Mary, the full‑term birth of their daughter Martha Rose, and the loss of their son William to Trisomy 18—the Sharkeys offer heartfelt insights on empathy, presence, resilience, and the small but powerful actions that make a lasting impact. This episode inspires clinical teams to see the extraordinary influence they have in the NICU and beyond and highlights how compassionate care can strengthen families during their most vulnerable moments.
