What does it really feel like to become a mom through surrogacy? Hey Heal Squad! In today’s Heal in 10, Rebecca Zamolo opens up about one of the hardest parts of her journey, the fear of not feeling connected to her daughter during pregnancy. While she wasn’t physically carrying her baby, her heart was all in—and yet, that didn’t stop the anxiety from creeping in…

She gets real about the emotional highs and lows, the guilt that can show up, and how she worked to build a bond with her baby long before she ever held her in her arms. Maria shares her advice of what helped her emotionally bond with baby Athena during her own journey.

This is a powerful reminder that love knows no bounds—and that connection isn’t just physical, it’s intentional. If you’re navigating surrogacy, supporting someone who is, or just wondering what that emotional journey looks like behind the scenes—this is for you. You’re not alone in those feelings, and connection can grow in ways you never expected. Tune in for a dose of truth, hope, and healing 💛
