About this Podcast:

This podcast was created to share my NICU journey….the good, the bad, and the unexpected. I want to share the tips I have learned along this journey that has made my life easier. I want to speak to the families who have just been given a list of life changing diagnoses. I want to speak to the parent who unexpectedly found themselves being a single parent to a child who has complex medical needs. I want to show others that it is okay to have a different “normal” than others. I want to show that it is possible to create a beautiful life out of ashes.Brought to you by It’s a NICU World

The Healing Power of Music with Jamie
Sep 22, 20261h 2mS4
What if music could help a NICU baby regulate, connect, and heal? In this episode of the Ask a NICU Mama Podcast, host Ashley O’Neil sits down with music therapist Jamie Shegogue to explore how music therapy can support neurodevelopment, bonding, and emotional well-being for babies and families in the NICU. Together, they discuss the research behind music therapy, what it can look like at the bedside, and how caregivers can use music to create meaningful moments of connection, even in the middle of a difficult NICU journey. This is a conversation about music, connection, healing, and finding meaningful ways to care for both babies and the people who love them. Real stories. Hard truths. Hope.

Count it Joy with Andew & Amber
Sep 8, 202658 minS4

They open up about the fear and uncertainty that comes withhaving a baby born too soon, while also trying to be present for the toddler(s) waiting for them at home. Because NICU parents don’t get to press pause on everything else. Andrew and Amber’s story is one of love, faith, resilience, and hope , and a beautiful reminder that even in the hardest moments, you don’t have to know how the story ends. Sometimes, you just have to keep going. Their experiences also inspired them to create NeoHaven ,providing resources and support for other families navigating the NICU.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
