147. Feeling Judged For Parenting Decisions

Being a parent is hard enough without the harsh judgement of friends, family, or total strangers. Marisol and Adam discuss Neo's upcoming 2nd birthday party, "the second biggest night in fashion" a baby MET Gala, and the judgement that may surround the night. Big updates on the next step in surrogacy and how they have experienced sharing that news with others and the feeling of the "fertility journey" coming to the end as they hope to wrap up the "family building" phase of their life and the complicated feelings that come along with those decisions.

About the Podcast

Reading Aloud
Welcome to the Reading Aloud Podcast, a place where the creative, emotional and hilarious aspects of relationship communication are explored in real-time, by a real Married couple. Marisol and Adam are a married couple living in Asheville, North Carolina. Outside of the Podcast, Marisol is an entrepreneur, who owns SolReflection, a therapeutic image consulting firm (she's a style therapist) and Adam works for Dogwood Alliance, a environmental non-profit organization. After dating, marriage, and lots of travel, the couple went on a long fertility journey. That journey lead them to IVF, a tremulous pregnancy, post partum depression and an amazing life altering miracle kid, Neo (all while recording the ups & downs). These days Marisol and Adam are raising a toddler, navigating the surrogate process to add to their family, and starting the egg retrieval/IVF process again after a miscarriage. Tune in as the couple provides you insight into how they communicate, navigate and thrive through married life, parenting, being an adult, and living in the world today.
