Welcome to What Comes Next, with Ash and Kell. Join us on our journey to creating life as we start our second Australian surrogacy journey. Listen as we unpack our raw and honest experiences with IVF, disability, motherhood, mental health and everything in between. A story of life changing friendship, surrogacy, connection, unexpected turns of life and WHAT COMES NEXT.
This episode we're celebrating 22 weeks of pregnancy on our 22nd podcast episode!
It's been a BIG few weeks for us!
Between the craziness of everyday life, pregnancy updates and welcoming some beautiful special guests to What Comes Next, things have been moving pretty quickly. So this week, we're pressing pause, grabbing our favourite drink and sitting down for a good old-fashioned catch-up.
No big agenda. No special guest. Just the two of us, chatting about life and everything that's been happening lately, true podcast style.
This one's a little slower, a little more relaxed and a chance for us to catch our breath while bringing you along for the ride.
To everyone who's continued listening, following along, sharing our episodes and showing up week after week, thank you. We know not every episode can be big news or a deep-dive conversation, and we're so grateful you're here for the everyday moments, too.
Sometimes, you just need sit with your friends and catch up.
Thanks for being here while we catch our breath 🤍

The cost of surrogacy
How much does surrogacy actually cost?
This week, we are opening up and having one of our most raw, real and transparent conversations yet.
We're talking openly about what we spent during our first surrogacy journey with James, as well as sharing our experience with the costs we're facing during our second journey, including appointments, medical expenses, extras and the unexpected additions that can quickly add up.
There are no secrets and no sugar coating. Just our actual experience, our actual numbers and an honest conversation about the financial side of surrogacy.
A little disclaimer: this episode is based entirely on our own personal experience. It is not intended to be a guide, quote or definitive representation of what surrogacy will cost. Every journey is different, and costs can vary depending on individual circumstances, providers, medical needs and choices.
As always, we’re keeping it real. raw. honest 🤍
