Summary

Hey Heal Squad! In this deeply personal throwback, Maria and Keven open up like never before about the emotional rollercoaster of their surrogacy journey. Joined by their incredible surrogate couple and Stephanie Levich of Family Match Consulting, they share the highs, the heartbreaks, and the surprising moments of love, grief, and hope that shaped their path to parenthood. From the pain of IVF loss to navigating the trust and intimacy of surrogacy with virtual strangers, Maria and Keven pull back the curtain on what it’s really like to build a family this way. They talk about the soul contracts that brought them all together, the grief of losing embryos, and how their faith in love—and each other—carried them through. Whether you’re considering surrogacy, supporting someone who is, or just love a story about resilience and chosen family, this one’s for you. 💛 -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist EPISODE RESOURCES: Family Match Consulting: https://www.familymatchconsulting.com/ ‘From The Start’ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Start-Stephanie-Levich/dp/1632995336/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3O3AT079Q1D0S&keywords=stephanie+levich+from+the+start&qid=1652816246&sprefix=stephanie+levic%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-1 ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
