このコンテンツについて
In this episode, I’m joined by Heather Nelson to discuss her very personal story that sheds light on a topic that feels like a black box to many of us—surrogacy.
Heather is a mother, wife, business coach and podcaster who became a surrogate five years ago. Now at 43 and navigating perimenopause, she’s preparing to do it again.
Her story offers a rare, honest look at the emotional and logistical realities of surrogacy—from hormone shots to heart-expanding moments to what it means to grow a baby with the full intention of letting go.
In this episode, we cover:
✔️Why Heather became a surrogate (and why she’s doing it again)
✔️The extensive medical, emotional, and psychological screening process
✔️What makes a good match between surrogate and intended parents
✔️What it’s like to carry a baby that isn’t yours
✔️How she talks to her husband, kids and even strangers about surrogacy
✔️Postpartum recovery without a baby
✔️Compensation, contracts, and the questions everyone wants to ask
✔️Why the world needs more surrogates—and how to explore it
If you’re anything like me, Heather’s story will leave you both inspired and a little choked up.
