I'm Pregnant.
Ep. 187: I’ve been holding onto this news for what feels like forever, and I’m finally ready to share—I’m pregnant. In this solo episode, I’m walking you through how I found out, the emotional whirlwind that followed, and what it’s been like living with a 1% chance of success. From the embryo transfer to the first ultrasounds, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the journey so far, including what I’ve been doing to stay grounded through it all. If you’re going through something uncertain or hoping for your own miracle, I hope this conversation makes you feel a little less alone.
