  • Bringing light to dark corners

    So important to share these stories, these journeys, these resources. The experience of infertility is painful enough — going through it in isolation just makes it worse. Thanks for building community around this common experience and for sensitizing all of us to what the journey is like.

  • A gift to all of us, no matter what our struggle

    Dr. Friedman Baron’s gift is her ability to hold and create space, with her words and her presence. These podcasts are the kind of opportunity to open up a place in our hearts and minds for a new kind of listening and hearing, and I can only hope that those who listen are changed by them and share them as widely as possible. I am one of those who is changed.
