In this episode, we meet Micah Fiske who is, among so many things, a survivor. Micah has so much to share including her lived experience living with Type 1 Diabetes, high-risk pregnancy, infertility, birth trauma and infant loss. As I mention in the episode, I could go on for days about this woman’s strength and spirit but I know that she would give back every ounce of that strength if it meant her son, Owen, was here with her today.
