Ashlee & Bethany start their first episode (of what will likely be many) on their fertility journey so far.  The hope is to educate others on the steps ahead of them when they decide to start their family. If you're not at a point where you're ready for that step, this episode can either give you a glimpse into what lies ahead, or what your friends/family go through when they face their fertility journey. 

Ashlee opens up about her father's battle with cancer, and how she navigated this hard time as both a daughter and a nurse.  Coping mechanisms to get through grief.  Signs in all shapes and forms; feeling your loved ones after they leave the physical world and the peace it can bring you if you allow yourself to be open to them.  Starting new traditions to celebrate the life and memories of those still with us, rather than waiting until it's too late to reminisce.
