Description

This is Episode 43! Today, we have Becky Kearns @definingmum and founder of Paths to Parenthub I think what you’ll notice right away is the gentle soothing manner Becky has about her. She tells her story about premature ovarian failure in her late 20s and the path she took to egg donation. She is incredibly vulnerable today in sharing her fears, her thoughts, the struggle that she had during this time in her life. We talk about the conversations we have with families about donor conception and the conversations we think about having with our children. I do want to warn you, there was a bit of audio trouble and for some reason, the tail end of the interview was lost, so you’ll have to forgive me for that. Becky has some wonderful advice and tools to share with you today, so please listen to this episode if you’re considering or struggling with donor conception. Thank you Becky for your candor, your vulnerability, your advice and your support of all of us who hope to be parents one day.
