All The Feels
Here we go! It took a minute (more like exactly 365 days, but who's counting?) and I'm back with some very emotional, insightful and special guests. This Season will have a bit of everything, the experts, the warriors, the technical, the granola, and some sprinkles of baby, motherhood and parenthood content. Look and listen for the triggers in the notes and beginning of the episodes but I invite you to stick around and look for the ones that are safe because the guests will help you a lot, I'm sure of that!

Navigating Fertility Treatment as a Same-Sex Couple - with Jess and Cerys
Today's chat with Jess and Cerys was really fun and enlightening. They are a gay couple from the UK that are going through IVF to conceive. We chatted about sexual education, the lack of the human touch and inclusivity in the material we learn in school. They also shared how they experience has been in choosing a Fertility Clinic that worked well with same-sex couples and met their expectations. It was so interesting to hear from them what are the hurdles they're going through in this journey. Have fun listening to these amazing humans!
