April 30, 2024 Ep 155: The Cost of Being Childless
This week we decided it was time to honor and spotlight our Childless and Childfree not by Choice friends! While neither of us knowingly experience infertility, we wanted to educate ourselves about the experiences of those in our community who do. Remember folks, we're not doctors or scientists so we did our best to provide insight into IVF and Adoption as best the internet would allow haha
