Kassidy shares her experience as a teenager watching her parents go through a divorce. She talks about how she coped, healed, and eventually found her own spouse with high hopes of having a successful marriage despite her parent's example.

Shelby is so sweet to share her experience over the past decade with falling in love with her best friend, Ash. After growing up with a religious background and serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Shelby talks about the path that led her to accepting her sexual identity and taking the steps towards her marriage! She talks about how she had negative experiences in the church and has found peace with God away from religion. The last piece of the episode is about how she and her wife were able to go through IUI and IVF to finally welcome their sweet baby boy!

My sister's friend Carly is so kind to be vulnerable and open up about her experience with pregnancy loss. We talk about her miscarriages and her process of grief and healing. We encourage you to reach out to any family members or friends who have gone through pregnancy loss and listen to their story as all experiences are unique.
