Big Miracles - Billie joins us to share her emotional journey of discovering, at the age of 12, that she was born with a rare condition called MRKH, which meant she was born without a uterus. in this heartfelt conversation, Billie opens up about the emotional challenges she faced growing up feeling different and navigating life with a condition that meant she couldn’t carry her own baby.
One of the most powerful moments in her story revolves around the selfless love of her sister, Shannen. Billie shares how Shannen, recognising the pain Billie felt, offered to be her surrogate—a testament to the depth of their sisterhood. This act of unconditional support highlighted the strength of their bond and how family can be a source of profound empowerment.
