Description

In recognition of Infertility Awareness Month, this episode of What to Know Down Below® explores the many different paths to building a family and the resilience it can take to get there. Tina’s Wish Board Member Meaghan Repko DeShong and Rachel Nicks, breast cancer warrior, founder of Birth Queen, and host of this year’s Runway for Research, come together for an honest conversation about infertility, surrogacy, parenthood, and hope. Meaghan shares her experience following the discovery of an ovarian tumor in 2016, the fertility challenges that followed, and the journey that ultimately led her to motherhood through surrogacy. Together, Meaghan and Rachel discuss the emotional realities of infertility, navigating unexpected changes to family-building plans, and the importance of finding support along the way. Filled with candor, humor, and compassion, this episode is a reminder that no two journeys look exactly the same—and that there is no one right path to parenthood. Connect with our guests: Meaghan Repko DeShong: https://www.instagram.com/marepko/ Rachel Nicks:  https://www.instagram.com/rachelenicks/ https://www.instagram.com/birthqueenorg/ tinaswish.org/whattoknow
