Have your journey to motherhood featured on the Geriatric Mamas podcast!

So many women have kept their fertility struggles a secret, and endured their pain alone. It doesn’t need to feel so isolating.

If you or someone you know is 35+ and struggled with fertility, experienced heartbreaking fostering or adoption challenges, endured a miscarriage, or were perhaps flat out told by a doctor that you will never conceive naturally, and eventually found your happy ending by becoming a mama, your story could be what keeps another woman going on her journey to her miracle baby!

Send us your story and it could be featured on the next HOPEisode! 

xx, Sonia and Jessica
