About this podcast
A mother and daughter podcast educating others on surrogacy from a surrogates point of view.

Together we have brought 8 beautiful children into this world and it’s been an insane rollercoaster ride! Good and bad, the sweet and the sour, all coming to light about the truths behind the best and worst surrogacy journeys. Stop. Sit. Surrogate.
