Jun 16, 202401:03:23Tap to summarizeWe are back! After an unplanned (unexpected) break, we are back with all new episodes! In our first episode, we get the special privilege of hearing from someone I have known my whole life. Someone who knows me better than most people I know. It's my sister, Christy! About 4 years ago, she and her husband, Alex, and their two girls had their lives changed most magically. It all started when my sister answered a Facebook post from a friend from High School. This would be the beginning of her journey as a surrogate for her friend. In this episode, Christy shares her story and all that went into her making this selfless and life-changing decision. As her big bro, I am so proud of her and how she showed such a radical act of love. And I can't wait for you to hear from the woman herself!
