E4. Surrogacy Special.
Welcome to a very special Episode of NIN where Sarah is in the hot seat as we open the doors on her extraordinary Journey to motherhood as she is expecting her first baby via the beautiful gift of surrogacy later this year.
We take you right back to the beginning when she unexpectantly found herself apart of not just one but three clubs she never expected to be apart of and how she has navigated (superbly may I add) each and every membership …
By sharing Sarah’s journey we hope to open up the hard conversations around infertility, IVF and surrogacy, break some of the myths you may have heard and explore the highs the lows, the ins & outs and everything in between. By doing so, if we can make anyone listening feel less lonely or isolated then we have achieved what we set out to do with this podcast.
It’s an incredible journey of determination and strength but has at times been difficult & testing on her mental health.
Content Warning: Please remember this is her journey and may be triggering for some.
