Pelvic Floor Momma’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pelvicfloormomma?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

This week we had the lovely honor of speaking with Becca Boeving, a Pelvic Floor Coach.

Being a mama herself and having had some hiccups in her own journey, she realized she wasn’t alone and that pelvic floor therapy IS NOT talked about!

She quickly started the conversation and built a beautiful community of ladies. Helping them get rid of pregnancy pains that we have been told are “normal”. Also, helping mamas in their postpartum era recovery more smoothly.

If you are pre-pregnancy, in the middle of pregnancy, or post pregnancy, there is help for everyone. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain including strength and bladder control!

Sophia’s Surrogacy Journey Continued:

Part 1 of Sophia’s story was about her journey of being pregnant with Surro babe.

Part 2 of Sophia’s story is about breast milk and pumping after Surro babe is born and intended parents no longer need the supply.

Pumping has no light switch to turn it off the next day. It’s a whole process to stop producing, and Sophia wasn’t ready to wean. So she looked to social media to see if she could help others who were looking for milk supply.

Sophia eventually created a community which is listed below and helped over a dozen babies.

If you are curious about pumping after Surro babe, DEFINITELY give this podcast a listen!

This week we had the lovely honor of talking with Stephanie Levich, founder of Family Match Consulting, where she is also an intended parent matching consultant. 

Stephanie shares about her journey in the surrogacy world and how that lead her to creating her own business and helping over 3,000 intended parents match with a lovely surrogate, that in turn helped grow their family.

She also touches on how surrogacy and the IVF community has always had a special place in her heart as she was adopted. Writing a children's book titled "From the Start" which talks about the many different ways a family can grow. (Link below)

Stephanie and her team at Family  Match Consulting services are not only a fraction of the cost compared to agencies, they also strongly believe that a match should not just be made because of common interests, but rather a match should be based off of a true connection and a solid base to form a relationship.

Ralph Tsong is a well known and experienced lawyer in the surrogacy world. In this episode he helps break down the executive orders that have been recently placed and what they possible mean for this community.

He talks about the Affordable Care Act, Insurance Liens, and what it possibly could mean for surro babes born in America to international intended parents.

This is an absolute MUST LISTEN for those who are thinking of becoming a surrogate, are currently surrogates, intended parents, and really anyone involved in surrogacy.

Nine years ago Juliane founded Mommy Made Encapsulation and has helped over forty five thousand women encapsulate their placentas to help their postpartum recovery. From Cardi B, to Kourtney Kardashian Baker, to the mom across the nation, to the mom down the street, including some of you.

Grace's Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/graces_surro_journey?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Welcome to 2025! Last year we ended the podcast season with our dear friend Grace who was near the end of her second surrogacy journey. This year we are starting our new podcast season with Grace sharing about her beautiful Rainbow Surro Babe who was born shortly after we last spoke.

If you don't know about Grace's second journey we encourage you to listen to a podcast we did with her called "Friday Facts: Pregnancy Loss in Surrogacy" as we do not ask her to speak on it again in this podcast. But in short, it's been a long and emotional journey that ended in a beautiful and healthy baby boy.

Congratulations Grace, her family, her IPs and their family. Thank you for always being so truthful, graceful, and opening up with us and everyone on the emotional roller coaster that surrogacy can be, but also how absolutely AMAZING, LOVING, and BEAUTIFUL it is, even with all the emotions.

(P.S. You will always be welcomed here and we hope to continue to have conversations with you in the future, no matter if you are "retired" Once a surrogate, always a surrogate!)
