As a society, I think we are slowly becoming more and more open about fertility issues. Slowly!

But there is one part of this journey that I feel isn’t spoken about enough, that seems like the last area we don’t want to discuss – and that is donor conception and surrogacy.

It’s something we’re not given a lot of information about, and if you’re at the point in your own journey where this is something you need to consider, it’s hard to know where to turn.

On today’s episode we are speaking with Lisa Schuman, an expert in donor conception & surrogacy. Lisa, LCSW, is a published author, licensed therapist, award-winning researcher and the only therapist chosen to testify before the State Senate Judiciary Committee to legalize compensated surrogacy in New York. Lisa is the host of the podcast, Building Your Family, author of the book, Building Your Family: The Complete Guide to Donor Conception. and creator of the Building Your Family community platform, the only expert-created education and support community designed to provide the latest tools and evidence-based guidance to help you become more informed at any point of your journey, from preconception through parenthood.

So she knows her stuff!!

By the time you finish listening, you'll find out:

  • What the process looks like when using a donor or surrogate
  • Why we often don't talk about choosing this path
  • How to navigate conversations with family, friends and planning for what you may tell your child one day

You can connect with Lisa via her website, Instagram, or check her podcast Building Your Family

When you finish listening, I'd love to hear your biggest takeaway from today’s episode. Take a screenshot of you listening on your device, share it to your Instagram stories and tag me @jen.elementpilatesyoga
