Mom Friends

This is a wild update on Remi's journey with many unexpected news and experiences.

The episode starts off with a potential miscarriage reason discovery, and next steps to take care of that before a future implantation, it then goes over Remi's second egg retrieval, a traumatic recovery, and some devastating news.

A lot to process after this episode, but as always, we talk about how the mindset game and a good support system keeps us moving forward.

Lots of love and happy holidays to all of you!
