In Part 2 of The Journey Begins, Sara picks up where she left off — making plans with her doctor, having conversations with family and friends, connecting with a social worker and therapist, selecting her sperm donor (dun dun dun), getting inseminated, and finally hearing the words “you’re pregnant.”

In this deep dive, Sara gets real about the pressure of crafting your child’s origin story, what she chose to share (and not share) with friends and family, and why some decisions about her son's story belong to him alone.

Note: This is Part 2 of The Journey Begins. If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, go back and start there.
