When All Of Your Family Lives Abroad But You Still Need Help

In this episode, I talk with Carol—a Brazilian mom who moved to the U.S.—about her incredible journey through motherhood abroad. From trying to conceive to navigating the U.S. healthcare system and adjusting to life with twins, Carol opens up about the emotional and logistical challenges she faced. We discuss what it’s really like to raise a family far from home, the ups and downs of NICU life, and how she managed postpartum without immediate family nearby. Her story offers encouragement and insight for anyone parenting in a different country or navigating the realities of twin life.
