Summary

After two episodes full of information on infertility, Dr. Naomi and Jordana are together in studio to get personal with virtual guest, host of the podcast Ladygang, and actress/singer/dancer: Becca Tobin. Becca has been very public with her infertility journey, but today she goes deep about how this experience helped fortify her relationship with her partner and prepare them both for the challenges of parenthood. She also talks more about her use of a surrogate, and how that decision challenged her emotionally and physically. With wit and humility Becca opens up and shares how her path to motherhood was a challenge worth taking. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
