In this episode, I sit down with Helen—a twin herself and now pregnant with boy-girl twins—to talk about her incredible path to motherhood. Helen shares her experiences with IVF, the challenges of endometriosis, and the highs and lows that come with fertility treatments. We dive into how growing up with a twin has shaped her parenting outlook, the unique bond she hopes her twins will share, and the importance of advocating for your health.

We also talk about the role of twin psychologists like Joan Friedman and Nancy Siegel in understanding twin relationships, and how she’s preparing—mentally and practically—for life with two newborns at once. Helen’s story is honest, heartfelt, and full of insight for anyone on a fertility journey or raising twins.
