Customer Reviews
Solidarity for the Jourrrrrney
Emma and Gabby are exactly the TTC support I needed—helpful insights, humor, and solidarity during a very hard and otherwise isolating time.
Love!
What a great podcast! Just started from the beginning and working my way through. I feel better being in such great company. 💔
Love love loveeee
This podcast gives me a much needed laugh through my infertility journey. These women are wonderful, real, raw about it all. This is SO appreciated to feel like these women, who are across the ocean from me (I am in the USA), feel so close to me with how relatable they really are.
