"I realized you really have to figure out what fills your heart. If you're aligned with your assignment, you're doing it right."

In this episode of Reanimated Stories, I sit down with Bridget Rocha, a registered sonographer with over 15 years of experience and the founder of Connected By Heart.

After a life-altering medical emergency with her husband, Bridget realized she wanted to step away from the rushed, chaotic environment of the traditional medical field and create something deeper for families.

Imagine seeing your baby's face for the first time, not on a small, fuzzy monitor in a cold clinic, but on your own living room TV while you are curled up on the couch with your dog. That is the experience Bridget is creating.

Bridget helps families slow down and help families actually enjoy these fleeting moments.

We talk about how she uses the latest 4D and "5D" HD technology to bring joyful gender reveals right into the home, but she also shares a quieter, more tender side of her work.

Bridget also provides a private sanctuary for families facing life-limiting diagnoses, giving them a safe space to bond with their baby far away from the noise and sterility of a medical office.

If you are looking for a story about turning pain into purpose and finding joy in the little moments, this episode is for you.
