Hi I’m Nahyun!

Wife. Mama. Labor & Delivery RN. Lover of Jesus.

I’m a mama to three babies I’ve carried, two daughters here on earth and my son Carson in Heaven, and a bonus mama too.

I’ve experienced pregnancy, three c-sections, postpartum, motherhood, and the unimaginable grief of losing my 11-week-old son.

And somewhere in the middle of everything I never thought my life would hold, Jesus completely changed my life.

Today, I’m also a Labor & Delivery RN with bachelor’s degrees in Public Health and Nursing, which means I now get to care for women during some of the very moments I once experienced from the other side of the hospital bed.

Lifting Motherhood is where I share what I’ve learned, what I’ve lived, and what I’m still learning along the way.
