When you have challenges creating the family of your dreams, whether it's experiencing loss or infertility, a high-risk pregnancy or prematurity, it wreaks havoc on all aspects of your life. You feel alone and can have a million questions swirling in your mind that you don't know where to find the answers to.
On this episode, I answer 4 of my listeners' questions as they navigate their journey to building the family of their dreams.

No one knows what’s going to happen which means no matter what the research says or what the doctors say or what your partner says - you have wishes, desires and dreams that deserve to be taken seriously. And there are SO many things you can do to make those wishes, desires and dreams come true. It just requires you to take one step after another in the direction you wish to go in.
