This one's a little different.. and a whole lot more personal.

In this surprise bonus episode of Southern Sips, I'm sitting down with my husband - the man who's been beside me through this entire surrogacy journey - but rarely in front of the mic.

And ya'll..we're talking about his side of things.

Because while surrogacy is often told from the surrogate's perspective, there's a whole other layer happening behind the scenes - the emotions, the questions, the sacrifices, and the growth that comes with being the partner of a surrogate.

We're diving into the questions that people want answer from, from his side of the journey. Nothing was off limits in this conversation.

This episode is honest, vulnerable, and full of answers that don't get talked about enough - especially for the husbands and partner quietly supporting from the sidelines.

Whether you are curious about surrogacy, walking this journey yourself, or just love real, heartfelt conversation - this one's for you.

In this episode of Southern Sips, we're diving into the questions people often wonder about but don't always feel comfortable asking out loud.

You know the ones - the questions people whisper, Google late at night, or start to ask and then stop because they don't want to offend anyone.

But here's the thing: curiosity isn't something to be embarrassed about. The more we talk openly about surrogacy, the more people understand the heart behind it.

In this episode, I'm answering some of the most common questions people have asked me about surrogacy. I'm sharing honest answers, personal experiences, and a deeper look at what this journey really involves - both medically and emotionally.

Because at the end of the day, surrogacy isn't mysterious or transactional. It's simply people helping people build families.

"Hey..how would you feel about me carrying someone else's baby?"

That's not exactly a casual dinner table conversation. In Episode 4 of Southern Sips, I'm sharing my husband's perspective on surrogacy - the questions he had, and the support he gave, and what this journey has meant for our family. Because surrogacy isn't something a woman does alone. Behind every surrogate is usually a partner walking through the journey too.

One of the most common questions I hear when people learn I'm a surrogate is simple but deeply personal: "How do you not get attached?"

In this episode of Southern Sips, I'm sharing the honest answer. We'll talk about the heart behind surrogacy, the difference between caring for a baby and claiming a baby as your own, and why intention plays such a big role in the journey.

I also share what it's really like emotionally throughout a surrogacy pregnancy , how boundaries help protect everyone involved, and why the moment the baby is placed in their parents' arms is one of the most powerful experiences imaginable.

Whether you're curious about surrogacy, considering becoming a surrogate, or simply want to understand the journey better, this episode offers a real and heartfelt look at one of the questions people are often afraid to ask.
