A diagnosis does not dim the light. In this episode, Nicole Jensen talks with Kate about her daughter’s spina bifida diagnosis, their choice to pursue in-utero surgery, and the faith, love, and support that carried them through months of unknowns. Kate shares what happened after the 20-week scan, how she found peace in hard news, and why her daughter’s story is not sad or broken. She also opens up about medical parenting, fear, guilt, long hospital days, and learning to accept help. This episode is a gentle reminder that children are more than a diagnosis. They grow in their own time, with their own strength, while their parents grow right beside them.
