The Yarn is intent on amplifying voices, building understanding, and creating space for human connection. In its series Motherland, The Yarn shares stories of women's journeys - their challenges and triumphs - with fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum depression and anxiety, and more. 

The first episode in our series explores themes of finding strength and connection in the most extreme circumstances, the heartbreaking challenges of trying to conceive, and overcoming unbeatable odds. Our three storytellers are Lisa Thorpe, Louise Keithley, and Nora Simmons.
