Episode 65: Matt DeVirgiliis- Fatherhood from the Eyes of a Dad of Two Preemie Babies

69 min • 4 januari 2022

Matt DeVirgiliis is on the podcast today! He is the father of 2 and his daughters are 6 and 8 now. They were born very prematurely so he has a memoir out that walks through his journey of being a dad of two preemie babies and walking through some pretty scary and life threatening situations with his wife. He shares openly and honestly in this book about what it was like during those few years in his life. I think that anyone that has walked through anything similar will feel connected to Matt. Even just as a parent with new babies, you will feel connected to Matt.

What we talked about:

4:00- Introduction to Matt and his kids

7:00- Matt’s book and his writing

13:50- Matt’s children being born prematurely and his wife’s birth experience
