Show Notes
In this episode, we're joined by reproductive psychologist Dr. Julie Bindeman to explore one of the most difficult, and important, conversations that can arise in a surrogacy journey.
Dr. Bindeman works with intended parents, surrogates, and donors navigating the emotional complexities of third-party reproduction. Together we discuss why some conversations feel hard to approach, why they matter early in the matching process, and how thoughtful communication can help protect everyone involved.
If you're exploring surrogacy as an intended parent or considering becoming a surrogate, this episode offers insight, perspective, and guidance.
