55. As a Parent to Donor Conceived Kids, This Is Why It Is Vital You Tell Them Early and Often
<p>I’ve been seeing in Facebook groups recently comments about how people who are choosing to use donor eggs, donor sperm, or donor embryo don’t want to tell their kids they are donor conceived. </p> <p><br></p> <p>To be very clear - I 1000% believe that not telling your children or future children they are donor conceived is not an option and if you feel that way then donor conception is not for you. </p> <p><br></p> <p>What I do talk about on today's episode is that a lot of these feelings come from fear and shame and when we work through those feelings, it makes all the difference. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Join me as we talk about these hard feelings, how you can navigate them and work through them so, if you decide donor is the right path for you, you will be excited and confident talking about your child(s) conception story. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Resources from this Episode: </strong></p> <p><a href="https://metagetman.com/lindsays-story-being-donor-conceived-and-an-advocate-for-donor-conceived-people/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Episode 36: Lindsay's Story: Being Donor Conceived and an Advocate for Donor Conceived People</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Did your doctor just tell you that you need to use a donor?</strong></p> <p>Or, <strong>you think donor might be on the horizon but you are not sure yet?</strong></p> <p>Or, <strong>you already know you need to use a donor but you want some more help processing the idea.</strong></p> <p><strong>Go to</strong> <a href="https://www.metagetman.com/podcast"><strong>https://metagetman.com/crossroads</strong> </a><strong>to get a free copy of my guide "My Doctor Just Said Donor, Now What?"</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>Connect with me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/metagetman/%E2%81%A0">Instagram</a></p>

54. Surrogacy Simplified with Jessie Jaskulsky
<p>March is Surrogacy Awareness Month and what better way to kick off the month is this episode all about surrogacy! </p> <p>Today I'm joined by surrogacy expert and mom via surrogacy, Jessie Jaskulsky.

Jessie now owns Surrogacy Simplified where she helps her clients navigate all the different elements of surrogacy and helps relieve some of the stress that comes with this path to parenthood.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Jessie and I dive into all things infertility, surrogacy, what to consider when thinking about this path, and talk about resources available for you. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Connect with Jessie: </strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://surrogacysimplified.com/surrogacyebook " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Free e-book</a></li> <li><a href="https://surrogacysimplified.com/appointment" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Complimentary consultation with Jessie </a></li> <li>Website: <a href="https://surrogacysimplified.com/" target="_blank">https://surrogacysimplified.com/</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Did your doctor just tell you that you need to use a donor?</strong></p> <p>Or, <strong>you think donor might be on the horizon but you are not sure yet?</strong></p> <p>Or, <strong>you already know you need to use a donor but you want some more help processing the idea.</strong></p> <p><strong>Go to</strong> <a href="https://www.metagetman.com/podcast"><strong>https://metagetman.com/crossroads</strong> </a><strong>to get a free copy of my guide "My Doctor Just Said Donor, Now What?"</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>Connect with me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/metagetman/%E2%81%A0">Instagram</a></p>
