TW: needles, medical procedures, & lots of emotions

Our friend Caiti welcomed a little girl into the world five months ago... and is moments away from having a boy as well. If that math seems off to you, just wait until you hear the rest of this story. 

To say Caiti and her husband took an unconventional route to parenthood would be an understatement. Endometriosis, IVF, gestational surrogacy, lactation induction — the works. Her story is one of heartbreak, perseverance, and in the end utter joy. Like Caiti says, "everything is figure-out-able."

Have you ever had a phase of life that felt like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle? While blindfolded? And stuck inside a dark cave? Well, we have. 

Today, we're talking about many things: shame, isolation, anxiety, judgement, and how we talk about the messier seasons in our lives. Give it a listen, and tell us if any of it resonates. We'd love to hear from you.

This week, we have not one, but TWO guests. 

Jerry and Jake Reiter have a unique father-son relationship: they run a bank together. In this episode, we get to hear their stories. It starts with Jerry on dairy farm and ends up with both of them leading one of the fastest-growing mortgage companies in the Midwest. We had a great time getting to know these two better, and we know you will too. Enjoy!

Sarah just got back from a Mel Robbins event and has a lot of thoughts. 

And William... is busy playing with the soundboard on his iPad. 

Will they talk self-development and emotions? Or will the whole episode be clips from songs and movies, followed by William laughing hysterically at his own comedic timing? You won't know until you listen. Hit the play button, you know you want to.

Also, please let us know your vote. Should William get to keep the soundboard, yea or nay?

We met Bardia during a stay at the Four Seasons Hotel in Houston, and immediately knew he was someone special. He went above and beyond his role as a manager, creating an atmosphere that felt welcoming and memorable for the guests. So, naturally, we had to get him on the podcast! His story takes more turns than we could have predicted: from growing up in Tehran, to playing professional soccer, to studying in Switzerland, to pursuing his current career in hospitality. Bardia overflows with warmth and wisdom, and we're so grateful for our conversations with him. Enjoy!
