TABOOBS

Thanks to technology, we are able to slightly alter our timelines on when we would like to start a family. Given the circumstances, whether it be a career, haven't found someone to start a family with, etc., we now have the option of freezing our eggs to be able to increase our chances of becoming pregnant in the future. As we age, we lose more and more eggs. If we freeze our eggs, we are able to then do IVF, when ready, and possibly be successful and become pregnant.  However, this episode comes at a time where IVF is coming into question in some states where some people believe embryos are babies and therefore are voting against the right to perform invitro and increase the ability for those who are unable to start a family naturally. 1 in 5 people deal with infertility. If this ideology gets adopted by more people, this could be detrimental to many people who desire to have children. 

NOTE: We do get into political talk during this conversation, as this is directly related to freezing eggs. Although not all of us will agree, my hope is that we are still able to have the civil conversations surrounding this issue.

First and foremost, my apologies from the recording equipment error. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but it is hard to hear, so I suggest listening with earbuds. 

All birthing stories are fascinating! They are all so very different for each person. However, 98% or more of people choose to give birth in a hospital. For the other 2% of people, what drives them to have an alternative birthing method? How do you choose home vs birthing center? How do you choose water birth or not? Doula or no doula?
There are so many factors that go into this decision and I am intrigued by it all. Listen to Karen discuss her experience.

Birthing stories are always fascinating. You get to hear about such great strength and endurance after accomplishing one of the scariest and most rewarding things to experience. Each story is different, each person is different and wants different things. Kelly wanted a home birth and she achieved it! Listen in to hear her ideals of why she took the home birth path and how it all played out.

As part of our "Things You Wish You Knew" mini series, Molly takes us deep into her divorce and custody battle. She shared ways her ex and his lawyer played dirty during the custody battle and things she didn't realize could be used against you in court. Her advice on things she wish she would have known or done differently is spot on and could be super helpful to those struggling or going through it. I am always amazed at her strength, grace, and beauty.  Join us in our conversation and let us know if you have any divorce advice  to give to those going through it.

Part of the "Things We Wish We Knew" series - Ask Them Questions is about asking your family the hard questions, the questions you wouldn't think to ask before they are gone.  The time is now to ask the questions and be curious about your history, your family's history, and to think about what kind of legacy you would like to leave for your children. How do we even go about doing so? What stories are they even interested in? I think you would be surprised what your families find interesting. Ann, my mother in law, joins me to discuss all of these things when it comes to ancestry,  family history, taboo family topics, and creating  your own legacy.
