Welcome to the Glitter Effect, a podcast dedicated to shining a light on the movers, shakers, change makers and all round living legends of our communities who are making a real difference.
In this heartfelt episode of The Glitter Effect, host Kate sits down with Kylie Pussell, a mother, advocate, and the passionate CEO and co-founder of the Miracle Babies Foundation—Australia’s leading organization supporting families with premature or sick newborns.
Kylie shares the deeply personal story that led her to create the foundation after her own experience navigating the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with her premature babies. What began as a journey of personal hardship has transformed into a national movement of compassion, advocacy, and peer support for thousands of families across Australia.
Listeners will learn:
• What Miracle Babies Foundation does and how it was born from lived experience.
• How peer support and community connection are central to their mission.
• The emotional reality of NICU parenting—and the importance of hope, remembrance, and ongoing support.
• How Kylie’s leadership has helped build a national support network including face-to-face services in hospitals and a 24-hour helpline.
Kylie exemplifies the essence of The Glitter Effect—transforming adversity into impact with empathy, courage, and unwavering drive.
“You never expect your baby to start life in the NICU. But when they do, having someone who understands can change everything.” — Kylie Pussell
