This episode, “Mandy’s Story,” shares the honest and deeply personal account of our mum’s 8-year journey through fertility treatment in the 1980s.

It’s a story of resilience in the face of loss, of holding on to hope when everything felt uncertain, and of the emotional and financial toll placed on families during a time when questions weren’t encouraged - and honesty wasn’t always given.

After years of trying, she fell pregnant using donor sperm from a man who would remain anonymous - something that, at the time, was not only common, but expected to be kept secret.

What stands out most is her courage.

Courage to go through it.
Courage to keep going.
And now, courage to speak about it.

At a time when so many women were told to say nothing, Mandy has chosen to tell the truth - not just for herself, but for everyone who was made to feel they had to endure it in silence.

This is her story.
