We look back on the incredible and sometimes terrifying journey from the moment our daughter Athena was born to the day she turned one. We open up about the highs, the lows, and everything in between, from the fear and uncertainty of her time in the NICU to the unforgettable joy of seeing her first smiles, first steps, and all the little milestones that made our hearts burst. We also talk about how this first year has reshaped who we are as individuals, as partners, and now, as parents. The new boundaries we’ve had to draw, the instincts we never knew we had, and the deep, protective love that caught us off guard. It’s raw, it’s honest, and yes, there are some laughs too. Come join us as we reflect on the chaos, the beauty, and the transformation that is year one of parenthood.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow Caroline:</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/randomactsofcaroline/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/randomactsofcaroline/</a></p><p>X:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://x.com/carolinnnne?s=21\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://x.com/carolinnnne</a></p><p>YouTube:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@randomactsofcaroline/videos\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.youtube.com/@randomactsofcaroline</a></p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Introduction</p><p>00:30 Athena's Birth and Early Days</p><p>04:01 NICU Experience and Challenges</p><p>11:51 Reflections on Parenting and Hospital System</p><p>29:37 Motherhood and Setting Boundaries</p><p>32:13 Leadership Lessons in Parenthood</p><p>34:24 Returning Home: Adjusting to New Life</p><p>45:15 Balancing Work and Family</p><p>49:17 Humorous Parenting Moments</p><p>1:00:33 Listen to the Full Episode in Supercast</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Introduction</p><p>00:30 Athena's Birth and Early Days</p><p>04:01 NICU Experience and Challenges</p><p>11:51 Reflections on Parenting and Hospital System</p><p>29:37 Motherhood and Setting Boundaries</p><p>32:13 Leadership Lessons in Parenthood</p><p>34:24 Returning Home: Adjusting to New Life</p><p>45:15 Balancing Work and Family</p><p>49:17 Humorous Parenting Moments</p><p>1:00:33 Listen to the Full Episode in Supercast</p>","author_name":"Sky King"}
