In this heart-wrenching and hope-filled episode of The Overcomers Podcast, Kristen sits down with Katie Tolley from Maddie’s Place, a pediatric transitional care facility in Washington that provides nurturing, non-judgmental medical care for infants born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS)—a result of substance exposure in the womb.
Katie shares the incredible origin story of Maddie’s Place, the revolutionary non-pharmacologic care model they use (one of only five in the country!), and how their mission wraps both babies and parents in compassion, stability, and support. From cuddling babies through withdrawals to walking alongside parents in recovery, this episode is an unforgettable reminder of what it means to truly stand in the gap.
If you’ve ever doubted whether recovery is possible or questioned what it looks like to lead with grace, this conversation will challenge you, move you, and inspire you.
