  • Behind Closed Doors - Infertility

    This weeks episode is a little bit different. After taking a break for a few weeks, we chose this time to chat about a personal journey for Maeve that deals with infertility.

    We feel this is an important episode as it highlights that we really don't know what goes on behind closed doors.

    As this is the last episode in Season 3, I want to take this opportunity to thank my co-host Dave for joining me on this season, it's been great fun! and a big thanks to all of you for listening.

    We hope you have a safe, healthy and happy Christmas and New Year
