Embrace Your Fertility’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/embraceyourfertility?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

This week meet Lauren Haring, a fertility coach. You may be wondering , “What is a fertility coach?” Well luckily Lauren explains in depth what it is she does and how she helps those in the process of IVF.

As patients in the IVF community we have so many questions and often times are too afraid to rock any boats to ask them. That’s where a fertility coach like Lauren comes in! She helps explain each step of the process, each medication and what it’s used for, the possible outcomes of tests, she helps by giving her client’s knowledge. Knowledge is power! 

This is a definite MUST LISTEN! After speaking with Lauren we both truly wish that a fertility coach becomes standard in the surrogacy process for both intended parents and surrogates. 🤍

Alex’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alex_bowers15?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Meet Alex a 2x surrogate. She shares her journeys and how much she loved her first journey, that she wanted to start her second journey almost immediately! However, she didn’t expect her second journey to be so wildly different than her first.

Alex also explains how she handled the ups and downs and ultimately came to accept that journey #2 was her final journey.

If you are feeling alone or struggling to cope with things you have encountered in your journey, first please know that you are not alone! So many of us surrogates go through things in the dark and we shouldn’t have to. Please feel free to reach out to us or any surrogate you know, I guarantee you that one of us knows someone going through something similar that can help. Secondly, don’t be afraid to reach out to your agency or the psychologist you interviewed with for this journey. These people are in place to help you. 💕 

Remember, every story is important and every story matters.

Lety’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/surro.lb?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Meet Lety and Brie, surrogate and intended mother from the same recent journey.

This week is so special! We get to hear both sides of surrogacy from the same journey and how their relationship turned into a beautiful friendship.

This is a must listen to as so many have been asking to hear more IP stories and this story is so beautiful and highlights so much of the positive in surrogacy and around single intended mothers.

Thank you ladies so much for speaking with us! We hope after hearing your story more intended parents reach out either in this fashion with their GC or by themselves. Every story is important and every story matters. 

(The visual is only Kenedi, Ellen, and the GC Lety, but Brie is here, just not on video.)

WHAT IS GOING ON!?!?


Here’s what we know:


SEAM is a surrogacy escrow company and the owner is nowhere to be found, possibly along with all the money IPs have invested.

Anna Marie is just one of hundreds of people affected by this tragic event. The whereabouts of Intended Parent’s money is the biggest question of all! Surrogate’s compensations have come to a screeching halt.

Agencies are not at fault, and lawyers are doing all they can to help.

To find out what we all can do please tune in and share this podcast. 

It’s unfortunate that surrogacy only gets a huge buzz when it’s something devastating or negative. 😒 However, right now the best way those who are not directly affected can help, is by sharing the message of whats happening.

Our hearts go out to everyone, Intended Parents and Surrogates.  🤍  And we pray that the woman who is at fault be held accountable and that justice will be served!

Today we are talking about the similarities and differences when it comes to traditional surrogacy and gestational surrogacy.

You might be surprised to learn that they have WAY more in common than youd think! The main difference is DNA.

Tune in to learn more! And to hear how beautiful each journey is, no matter if it’s traditional or gestational. The end goal is still the same 💕

Are you an interested in embarking on an independent journey? If so, definitely tune in to hear what that will entail from the legal side of things.

This week we had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Sherry Fox regarding the legal side of independent journeys and compare the differences and benefits of going independently compared to agency.

We also touch on what's happening in the south with fertility laws and what this might mean for the future. 

Sherry is extremely thorough and an open book. If you are interested in being a part of an independent journey don't hesitate to reach out to her! 

Thank you so much Sherry for explaining and destigmatizing independent journeys. They don't seem that scary anymore.

This week we had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Megan, a child-free UK gestational surrogate!

Megan explains how and why she chose to do surrogacy, even though she doesn’t have any children of her own. She also explains the impact the delivery has had on her, mentally and physically.

Her story is truly amazing to hear and beautiful as well. To be able to help families grow without having grown your own is truly fascinating, whereas in America that’s not possible.
