39 min - 034 The Ins and Outs of Surrogacy: Liz and Lauren's story
Trigger warning: This episode mentions miscarriage and infertility issues. I (Shaina) interviewed Liz and her cousin Lauren about how Liz was a gestational surrogate for Lauren who was unable to carry a baby to term.
If you've ever thought about what this experience is like, I invite you to listen to their story. Perhaps it will encourage you to view infertility in a different light.
