#18: Infertility (but make it secondary)
plus the prettiest flowers to send to your friends
Hi friends,
It’s September (how?!) and as the seasons start to shift, we’re taking some time to rethink a few things — including the format of this newsletter. But before we make any big changes, we just wanted to pop back into your inbox with a quick update and a whole lot of love.
First up: Kayti is wrapping up maternity leave! She welcomed a beautiful baby girl in June, and both mama and baby are healthy, thriving, and soaking up all the newborn snuggles. As many of you know, getting here wasn’t easy (understatement) — and when one of us beats infertility, it puts a real pep in our step to keep going. It’s a reminder of why we share the hard stuff. It matters.
Meanwhile, Amy has been traveling a bunch, resting (as much as she knows how), and maybe avoiding her life a little. (Balance, right?) She has so much to share on the surrogacy front, and we’ll be diving deep into that in our next catch-up. For now, check out two solo episodes she recorded with incredible guests — including THE Aliza Sir from Platonic Love and Carly Joseph, Surrogacy Concierge. The episodes honest, informative, and deeply human. We think you’ll love them.
So yes — this note is a little all over the place. But so are we right now. And that’s okay. We just want you to know: we see you, we love you, and we’re so glad you’re here.
You’re doing great. Truly.
We’ll be back in your inbox more regularly this fall — with new podcast episodes, merch (maybe?!), and hopefully a newsletter that feels just right.
Talk soon,
Amy & Kayti 💛
